I only have the Oct 78 Byte and a photocopy of the following month's Spracklen article. Is there any possibility you would send me photocopies of the other texts from Nov, Dec, and Jan? I would also enter and upload them if I get permission from Byte. I would appreciate it very much. Please let me know and I will e-mail you my mailing address. I would be willing to pay you for your time and expense. Thanks. -Jim Phillips
