p.36 Using Resident System Extensions Under CP/M Plus (p.455 in reprint volume 9)

[author : Garry M. Silvey]

One feature of CP/M Plus is the ability to use Resident System Extensions — allowing a programmer to extend or modify any BDOS function, and to create new ones. This article discusses how they work and how to add them to your system.

p.46 p - A Small-C Preprocessor (p.464 in reprint volume 9)

[author : Axel T. Schreiner]

Standalone preprocessors can be powerful tools in a variety of language settings. This independent preprocessor may be used with Small-C v2.0 and cc, the Small-C driver program presented last month.

p.84 A Simple Minimax Algorithm (p.491 in reprint volume 9)

[author : Steven A. Ruzinsky]

While some of the classic minimax algorithms may be intuitively straightforward, they are often quite complicated to implement in a program. The author presents an automatic minimax algorithm which is relatively simple, easy to code, and yields a high degree of accuracy.

p.102 Languages and Parentheses (A Suggestion for Forth-like Languages (p.506 in reprint volume 9)

[author : Ernest E. Bergmann]

Because many Forth-like languages do not need to use parentheses or similar characters as delimiters, this article proposes the optional use of such characters in these languages, discussing possible advantages and examining an actual implementation.
