I too still have all my old Byte, Dr.Dobbs, REMark, Sextant, QST, etc. magazines, and often go on "archeological digs" for information and entertainment.
Lee,
You are far from alone on that.? I have maybe a dozen boxes of those?that
I've retained over the years.??They tend to reflect my interest in 8080/8085/z80
and other cpus of the day especially software of all forms.
Byte, Kilobaud,? DDobbs, S100 Micrcomputing, Microcomputing, QST (also
my interests with radio), Ham Radio, and Popular Electroncs and Radio Electronics.
VTL, that was an interesting beast.? It was when people were doing TinyBasic
and other small languages.? Often the goal was fit it in a 1k or 2K eproms
(2708 and 2716 in the day)? I morphed VTL into a command line monitor
as a somewhat primitive script language and operating environment.??
VFL was not somuch fast as strikingly compact.? Less code more speed.
