They did. I sold 'em a couple of programs (had one published in the April
1990 issue). Their purchase was lock, stock, and barrel--they own outright
what I sold them. (The unpublished program was a utility for manipulating
extended memory from BASIC on 128K systems. The one that was published is a
SCRN() function for the Hi-Res screen that is capable of determining what
color will be displayed at a given pixel.)
