A.K. Dewdney in "Dragon User"

[snarkhunter]

Hello all,

It's been a long time since I last posted here. I'm searching for a "memory refresher": Does anyone happen to know or remember in which issue of "Dragon User" there once was an article or a piece of software by A.K. Dewdney, please? I'm almost certain there once was one but I just do not want to go through every issue I have here to find out!

Thank you very much in advance for any help you may provide...I only hope this is not some false memory.

Can’t find any reference in http://www.6809.org.uk/dragon/dragonuser-bib.pdf I’m afraid. What sort of thing are you remembering? A different magazine, maybe?

(Not that that bibliography is infallible of course)

I searched on the Internet Archive Dragon User collection and found no match.

I've found though several books by A. K. Dewdney: https://archive.org/search?query=creato ... 2C+A.+K%22

A.K.Dewdney was a notable Canadian mathematician and computer scientist (amongst other things). It's highly possible you've read an article of his but probably not in the pages of Dragon User.

If AKD was Canadian, perhaps the article might have been in The Rainbow or Hot CoCo? Not sure if indexes exist for those though!

There is an index for Rainbow, but I don't think the other North American Coco magazines got one.
