Pork Barrel appeared in the July 1980 issue of Softside (Apple
edition) and was originally written by George Blank (for the 
TRS-80?).  It was translated for the Apple by Murray Summers.  
At first glance, I see no mention of the Bahamas in the listing
however.

(Amazing what old stuff I still have lying around..)
