Home comput(er/ing) Magazine (HCM) used to publish code for 5 or 6 different computers, atari 800?, ti99/4a, c64, vic/20, etc. Back in the early 80's, so I dont'r emember what all they covered. 99'r mag had a similar idea, but only for the ti99/4a. Talk about portability, even back then. They actually had a program you inputted your program into, and it would do a crude checksum to make sure you typed your code in properly.
