You can't have mine! and I don't know where to get an
original any more... here is the story.

Dr. John P A Race wrote the Lurker In the Interrecord Gap.
It was an article in Computer Decisions (a UK Magazine).
In 1977 he hacked a Wang 2000B into a word processor
and published "Tales From The Computer Room" - printed
at Brunel University Uxbridge Middlesex 
ISBN 0 9505975 0 3

We shared an office for a while...
Haven't seen him since I left the UK.  A true scholar
and gentlemen.
