Hello,
I have written a paper about macros that is somewhat computing history
and somewhat anecdote (with quite a few bibliographic references).
The paper's introduction explains the paper's purpose in more
detail.
A preprint is on the web at
http://walden-family.com/texland/tb109walden-preprint.pdf
This version will be replaced in a few weeks, or a little longer, with a
version that contains the proper page numbers for the printed journal
issue.
The *permanent* URL of this paper as printed eventually will
be
http://tug.org/TUGboat/tb35-1/tb109walden.pdf
however access will only be allowed for group members until one year
after print publication. After a year after print publication, the
paper will be freely, publicly, and permanently available at this
URL.
