Challenge - finding the last issue or two of key notes AFTER V8N2

[Gene]

The final separate issue of Keynotes was V8N2.

However, it is rumored that the REAL final issue of keynotes came AS PART OF the HP Program Library Catalog (or whatever it was called).

Problem is ? We don't have a copy of any of that from the Contributors Library that might have this last issue or two of Key Notes.

It is ALSO possible that it is these last issues where the name for the hP 41 programming language was actually announced.

Yes, we all "know" it is supposed to be called "FOCAL" but the last published issue of key notes does not say that. Was this announced post-Henry Horn in these key note issues in a program library catalog ?

The last separate issue of Keynotes, V8N2, is dated "August 1983". I would suspect a search of the program library catalogs from 1983 until they quite publishing them might reveal it.


So, the challenge is to find any of those catalogs from 1983 and afterward and look through them for a Key Notes type of section, probably near the front. Keep a close eye out for the contest to name the HP 41 programming language.

If you find that or have any program library catalogs, Jake Schwartz would like to borrow them to scan them.
