I'm looking for some stuff I had published in UK computer magazines between 1981 and 1983.
Does anyone have the May 1983 issue of Sinclair Programs?
I had a Z80 machine code utility/basic demo titled "Fast Display" published there. I'd just like someone to send me a scanned file of the page, that's all. It'll be by "Daniel Freeman of Ramsgate, Kent".
I had other programs published too that I'm looking for in other magazines. Wireframe 3D graphics things. I remember I had a 3D graph plotting program (for RML 380Z, In Practical Computing. I think). Render a sinusoidal equation in x and y as an orthographic view.
And a 3D goblet drawing program (for ACT Sirius? / Sharp MZ80K? - In Personal Computer World ?). A set of coordinates define the goblet, and you spin them around an axis using a lathe technique to obtain the 3D shape.
I think these were 1983 too. But possibly back in 1982 or 81. It's a long time ago, so my memory is hazy. I was still at school back then. They were published with screen shots of the results produced, so they should be easy to spot just by flicking through.

Hi and welcome to the forums.
At last a real pioneer of the day !! I got my ZX81 in 1982 (whilst I was also at school), but never had any programs printed for it.
I have checked and unfortunately do not have any issues of Sinclair Programs pre December 1983.

I don't know if you value that issue at £12, but retrogames has one:

Thanks Moggy!
I got my "Fast Display" article. It was on page 20.
They only had two issues of Practical Computing. Neither was mine. The cover of December 1983 looks familiar - it MAY have been published in that (or perhaps I just remember that cover).
I don't know the date my PCW program was published.
But if anyone comes across them, on an online archive, let me know!
