The magazine was by Wayne Green Publications, a spin-off from 80-Micro
(which was a spin-off from Kilobaud) -- and Wayne and Tandy Corp. had an
adversarial relationship for a number of years.
Wayne also piy out "InCider", for the Apple systems. Nowadays, he's back
to his roots -- producing "73" for the ham radio community -- the
magazine from which "Byte" then "Kilobaud" then a host of others sprang.
