    Can anyone answer the following question for me ? If you can, please
    respond (to me) by mail as well, as I only rarely follow this conference.
    
    Thanks,

    Subj:   A question
    
    I've come across a short extract from a book/article called
    "Real Programmers don't use Pascal" by a guy called Ed Post.
    Do you have any idea where the original was published?  ie was it
    an article in a journal/rag or a book or a "NOTE"?
    Just thought you'd know!
    Byee

272.1Some cluesCSC32::M_BLESSINGMike Blessing, CSC/CS VMS SupportMon Apr 16 1990 13:386
I have a copy (of a copy...) of this article, but it does not contain the
title of the publication.  It is in a column entitled "Readers' Forum".
The date is July, 1983.  I think the publication might be "Communications
of the ACM", but I'm not sure.

272.2Datamation, but...KRISIS::reevesJon Reeves, ULTRIX compiler groupThu Apr 19 1990 15:574
It eventually showed up in, if memory serves, Datamation or Computer
Decisions; however, I had seen a photocopied version some months before
it appeared in print, so I'm not sure the author is the same.  In any
case, the magazine version I saw was bowdlerized.
