I am an undergradute working on a small paper about Life for an intro to Computer Theory class, and in Winning Ways, the reference list includes: "R.T.Wainwright(editor)Lifeline:a quaterly newsletter for enthusiasts of John Conway's game of Life, #1-11." My school library does not have these, and if possible, I'd like to read over a few. If you know any system that has them on-line, or maybe a library that has copies, please e-mail me at the address on my post. Thanks so much for any help!!! Jon Austin Appalachian State University, Boone, NC Lifeline was a mimeographed newsletter circulated in the early seventies. I'm sure Gosper has a complete run -- I've CC'd him. But They're pretty scarce so I doubt he'd lend them, although he might "smearox" them. I don't think anyone has ever put all the material on-line.
