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.

Dave
