From COMPUTE!'s Gazette
     THE PROGRAMMER'S PAGE: November 1988 
     "Notebooks and POKEs" - Randy Thompson
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Many of these POKEs were sent in by Victor J. Fogh of Mariposa, California.
Others were taken from the COMPUTE! book, MAPPING THE 64 - another great
source of notebook material.  The rest are the result of experience and
expiramentation.  If I've neglected to mention any of your favorite POKEs,
let me know - chances are they'll appear in a future column.
