truth table program and Bidmead articles

Post by prolog »

Hello all, I am new here and am finding my way about!

ECM magazine, I think, (somewhere between summer 1981- early 1983) had a short ZX81 program for producing truth tables in tabular form - so you could input truth conditions and it would then draw tables with the results. I'd love to see that again.

Also Chris Bidmead of ECM had 2 consecutive articles on tachyons at about the same time. I can't imagine ever seeing again a magazine where you could copy out a program on one page and then turn over and read an article about tachyons. Love to read those again.

Never throw anything away.

Welcome to the forum , by the way, Prolog.

You might want to try this site as well, our friends in Germany.

Google translate helps to get an understanding.

Thank you yet again Moggy! And for the welcome. I hadn't seen that site for Chris Bidmead, but he's obviously a man to know. Funny, he lists PC/M but I was sure the stuff I saw was in ECM - have to look again. I went on ebay and was very DEPRESSED to see these mags on starting bids of 9.95 each with 2.25 p&p; especially since I threw out loads of 80s mags at my last move. Blast.

I checked the German site - looks like I'm going to need a compiler!

cheers again

Dear Dr Beep
Now I've found my password I can log in and say thank you! A year late but better late than never!

I've also tracked down the E&CMs with the original truth tables I saw in 1982 - so I'll compare with yours and post!
