p.20 A Kernel for the MC 68000 (p.646 in reprint volume 8)

[author : Steve Passe]

Having obtained a 68000 system, the author found himself without software to run on his new friend. After punching out a cross-assembler in C for software development, he decided to experiment with multiple tasking. The result was this kernal, which distributes CPU time among concurrently running processes.

p.80 Toward a More Writable Forth Syntax (p.688 in reprint volume 8)

[author : Harvey Glass]

While powerful and efficient, Forth is often criticized for creating unnecessary programmer obstacles. The goal of the Forth extensions discussed here was to preserve the power and flexibility of the language while providing a simpler and more readable notation. The resulting code is not unlike a postfix dialect of Pascal or Algol.

p.86 Simple Graphics for Printer (p.692 in reprint volume 8)

[author : Wil Baden]

The author presents a classic algorithm for plotting lines on a terminal or line printer. Though the Pascal listing provided is designed to produce low resolution graphics, the algorithm may also be the basis for much higher resolution routines.
