[Oops - title should have said Compute 35/41 !!]
Hi guys,
I found 4 or 5 Compute magazines in the loft, so here's a small batch of listings you're missing:
Air Defense - p 32, Issue 35, (Vol 5, No 4), April 1983 - Atari version by Charles Brannon, graphics by Harry Blair, and the article is credited as T. L. Wahl, so perhaps he wrote the first listed version (VIC20). You have a version of this, with the note "Missing Original Basic" file - so here's a proof-read one. Specifically, your version was missing the text for all comments, and had errors on lines 690 (one character wrong for the cityscape), a colon on 1100, and most importantly, 1120 has a 53744 instead of 57344 in a character set copy, so the score was not shown right.
Chutes - p86, Issue 35, (Vol 5, No 4), April 1983 by Matt Giwer. you have an entry, but no file. Pretty sure I've got this one double-checked - line 5037 looks like it has an obvious bug (C>255 OR C>255) - but I've kept it as printed, and I don't think it will make any difference.
Math Fun - p126, Issue 35, (Vol 5, No 4), April 1983 by Steven Neve - again, you have an entry, but no file.
Mosaic Puzzle - p90, Issue 41, (Vol 5, No. 10), October 1983 - the article is credited as Bruce Jordan, first listing VIC20, but Atari version is translated by Marc Sugiyama - again, you have an entry for this but no listing.
Hope that's useful - might be a couple more later.
