I'm more than a little annoyed with MacTutor Magazine over this. More than
one year ago I submitted an article on Graf3D, the LightSpeed C interface
to it, and using them to draw the teapotohedron (See cover, CACM, Feb.
1988).  (My program only draws the wire frame.)
I recieved an acknowledgement that the article had arrived, and
nothing since. 

In the past, when I have posted programming examples to the net, the
text files always seem to get lost, and just the binaries get passed
around. This always bothers me, since a programming tutorial is not a real
commercial - quality application, and I care about my reputation. I came
up with a nifty solution: I added a "decompile" command to the file menu.
Choose it, and it simulates LightSpeed C's compile dialog running in
reverse, and when it finishes, you've got complete source in text files,
in the folder with the application.

I'll write the editor of MacTutor about posting the program to the net.
