请问HN:有没有人拥有这些缺失的PC Plus期刊(1991–1993)的扫描件?
我在寻找以下几期《PC Plus》杂志的复本:
1991年11月,1992年1月,1992年3月,1992年4月,1992年6月,1992年7月,1992年10月,1993年1月。
这是一份在英国非常受欢迎的PC杂志,其中一个亮点是Wilf的程序员工作坊,这是一个定期栏目,充满了编程难题、挑战和读者投稿。
有一段时间,他举办了一个关于quine(能够输出自身源代码的程序)的比赛。我提交了一个带有调侃意味的作品,这是一个批处理文件,利用PKZIP将代码“编译”成PKZIP.OBJ(而不是.ZIP),然后用ZIP2EXE将其“链接”成一个EXE。结果是一个可执行文件,它能够将自己解压回源文件。他对此感到很有趣,并在他的专栏快结束时提到过,尽管他指出这并不完全符合比赛要求,因为我并没有自己编写PKZIP。
我在archive.org上找到了他专栏的扫描件,包括他宣布比赛的那一期,但没有找到我具体的投稿。我将范围缩小到了上述八期杂志,这些杂志的时间框架是正确的。
如果您有这些期刊的纸质版或PDF版,能否请您查看一下后面的Wilf专栏,看看是否提到过我的投稿?
谢谢!

I'm looking for copies of these issues of <i>PC Plus</i> magazine please.<p>1991-Nov, 1992-Jan, 1992-Mar, 1992-Apr, 1992-Jun, 1992-Jul, 1992-Oct, 1993-Jan.<p>This was a popular PC magazine in the UK, and one of its highlights was Wilf’s Programmer Workshop, a regular column full of programming puzzles, challenges and reader submissions.<p>At one point, he ran a contest around quines (programs that output their own source). I sent in a tongue‑in‑cheek entry, a batch file that used PKZIP to “compile” code into PKZIP.OBJ (instead of .ZIP) and then ZIP2EXE to “link” it into an EXE. The result was an executable that unzipped itself back into a source file. He was amused enough to mention it near the end of his column, though he noted it didn’t quite qualify for the contest since I hadn’t written PKZIP myself.<p>I found scans of his section on archive.org, including the issue where he announces the contest, but I couldn't find my particular contribution. I've narrowed it down to the eight issues listed above that are in the right time-frame.<p>If you have any of these issues (paper or PDF), could you please check Wilf’s section near the back and see if my submission is mentioned?<p>Thanks!
