A more interesting question would be, do I still have a computer that
could run that program? And do you? Actually, I do still have an old
Commodore PET down in my basement. It hasn't been switched on in many
years, and would almost certainly need a lot of servicing to make it
work. And I do still have a stack of old Commodore-formatted disks,
which may still be readable. The program is probably on one of them. But
bringing everything together and making it work would be a lot of
hassle!
If you just want to look at the code, I guess the best approach might be
to find the issue of Compute! magazine in which it was published. After
all this time, I am not sure I remember even the year in which it
appeared, but I think it was about 1982 or '83. Maybe, if you have
access to a library that keeps old computer magazines, you may be able
to find it. Good luck!
