Yeah, I loved the early Byte Magazine issues. I remember implementing the "serendipitous circles" algorithm published in Byte, which inspired my interest in computer graphics that is still strong with me. I still have the first 7 years of Byte Magazine on microfiche (but my fiche reader is broken), and I have the first several years in leather-bound books purchased from the publisher. Those (and a few others, like my early "Dr. Dobb's Journal of Computer Calisthenics and Orthodontia" magazine, with later issues simply called "DDJ") were the primary source of precious computer information tidbits we waited hungrily for every month, for the same stuff you can find in vast troves in seconds with the magic of the internet. And there was no downloading back then, you actually had to type EVERY LINE of code from every program published in those magazines (on a freaking slow teletype in many cases)!
I am thinking somebody needs to port this 3D program to C now that we have the tcc package.
