As the author of the index explained to me in private e-mail, he started
doing the index commercially in 1988, and as he wanted to get paid to do
it, he decided to start in January 1982 since he needed to get something
going right away and Jan/82 is around the start of the IBM PC, so it would
be commercially relevant as well.
At any rate, I've proposed that we turn this into an open source type
project and are discussing it now.

Whilst doing an unrelated search, I came across
this gem:
Twenty-One + Years of Dr. Dobb's Journal Indexed

That's nice, but he missed all the "good stuff" between 1976 and 1982.
The magazine website (www.ddj.com) doesn't seem to cover this period either
:-(
