Hi Ben,
I'm pretty sure I have the source now for the one published in DDJ.  I've got two sources to compare.  (Someone sent me the CAPROCK SYSTEMS one off list)

It appears that there is no coordination of version numbers after 1.0 up to 2.1.  It seems there are completely different versions/modifications with the same version number (e.g. 1.1).  Various versions in the 1.x line have all sorts of mods.  Many of them are native code, but may be for 8080, 8086, Z80, 6502, or various others.  Not sure when or where the p-code came in.  2.1 was the updated "official" version published by James Hendrix in "The Small C Handbook" as well as in DDJ, I believe.  After 2.1 it diverges again, I think.  Ver 2.1 has the for, switch, etc stuff added and appears to be the most common.  All this is from my digging and I'm certainly not an expert.

Thanks for helping,
Will
