I?m glad I had kept it around. I purchased a copy of the listing directly from HP while I
was in High School
so that I could study how it worked and ?hack? on it to make some changes.
I had kept the listing in a special binder. After college I had misplaced the binder and
thought it was lost.
During one of my moves (around 2006(or so) I discovered that I still had it. I lent it to
James Markevitch
(another list member) sometime after that who scanned it and OCR?d it and made it
available to the
community.
The binder containing the source listing sits prominently on one of the shelves in my
office. It is also
loaded into the core of my 2116C that I run from time to time. ;-)

Is there some copy still around ??
I had a look in Google, Bitsavers, HPmuseum, with NO success.
Thank for help and/or advise.
This is my own writeup about it, including assembler source and loader files, but as
noted there it's Guy Sotomayor (list member)
that deserves the thanks for keeping it around and making it available:

The source files are also available on bitsavers, link included on above page.
