Re: Coincidence!

Re: HELP WANTED: Magazine type-in page numbers!
There are 4 type-ins in it that are missing (the Hobby-Computer issue is not linked to any type-in so far): - Lander - Entenjagd - Dame - 3-D-Plot (utility) Ops, this magazine was duplicated by mistake! This is the correct link, including these type-ins: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/issue/10463/...
