Leaning on Google for web-based PDF rendering: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/6064/AIM-986.pdf https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://dspace.mit.edu/bit... The PDF contains images from a scan done in the mid-90's. Elements on some pages are rather "smudged" -- particularly on the example figures (code and diagrams) that are appended. I looked a bit but did not find a clearer copy. Would anyone happen to have one? (I.e. one that does not derive from this particular scan done by MIT.) P.S. There is also a Postscript version available, but it is from the same scan and has the same deficiencies. http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/6064 http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/6064 http://library.readscheme.org/page7.html http://library.readscheme.org/page7.html

  It should be in https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine somewhere -- I forget which issue. That's where I saw it originally, on paper.

    Well, the paper carries a date of August, 1987. Volume 12 of Byte is 1987. Number 10 of that volume is September. Publishing dates typically lead calendar dates by up to a month or more. Unfortunately, the next issue available, per the archive listing sorted by date, is 12:13, which identifies itself as November. (Perhaps one of their special issues came out in the intervening timeframe, in addition to October.) I don't see it listed in the table of contents for September nor October. I'm about out of time, at the moment, but I might return to this, or maybe someone else will look at the next few months. https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Abyte-magazine&sort=-date&page=1 https://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Abyte-magaz... ---- P.S. 12:14 is a "Special Issue". The next issue available in the archive is March, 1988. It's too bad the archive is incomplete. Nonetheless, an interesting stroll down memory lane. And I saw more than one article title I may be interested in (re)reading.

      OK, I searched a little more, it's said to be Feb. '88, which seems to be missing, alas. I'd gotten the impression it was a nearly complete collection.

  No, no. It's OK. I got downvoted for pointing out the bad quality.
