Hi Buddy!

Thanks for the submission! Here's the finished product. Really love the idea of doing PostScript (TM) code as poetry.

Send us more stuff if you have the chance.

Again, thanks.

-Ang & Leon

Mary Light returns to the bitmaps of SC with her tiny marvel of concrete poetry, "ASDV-1". Mary says, "I get most of my inspiration from system crashes, line drops, and corrupt files."

SC welcomes a new contributor in Scott Ganser. His radical polemic, "BEEP ROUTINE," shows his strengths both as a hex hacker and word crafter.

Jasmine once again weaves her higher-level language web of mysticism in "AND or DNA."

In a file that arrived by anonymous ftp, Buddy Newkirk begins what is obviously an epic love poem in "EMILY." This on'es for all you PS hackers out there.

SC's own Leon Presser presents the latest in his series of found poetry in "GRAMMAR."

SourceCode, "The HyperMag of HackerPoets" is published by Leon Presser and Christine Angstrom of Humboldt State University, which has nothing to do with content or anything else. Issues are usually about on every three months.

Submissions are cheerfully accepted via electronic mail at lpresser@hsuvax.edu. Snail subs must be on Macintosh diskette (we'll mail it back to you with the completed issue if you include postage)

To be added to our list, send e-mail. Sorry, without enclosed stamps we can't afford to mail these things out through the Pest Orifice.

You'll need to have HyperCard and Stuffit. (Yay Ray Lau! We sent in our shareware check...did you???)
