I believe I have recovered most if not all of the article from Google's web cache. I posted what I could recover here: http://star2.abcm.com/bugs_nevermore
Please let me know if I missed anything.

Perhaps if you ask the owner of http://www.tandycoco.com/forum/ he might be able to find it in an old archive. It might still be online, but I was unable to find it a few months ago and just now. It has most of the article scanned and partially OCRed. I could do a better job today with the tools I have. But no time currently. Printed Magazine is in my hand.

My memory of 1989 "C" debugging is that I do not want to go there again. I have purchased too many Borland products with great debugging tools. If I remember what program still has the debugging statements in it I will tell you. Perhaps the "SORT" program on the same disk which is K&R's SortMerge. Painfully slow as the person who asked for it discovered only when he tried to use it. All SortMerges are very slow.
