The articles in question make excellent reading: February 1983, vol 8, no 2, 
"NAPLPS: A New Standard for Text and Graphics, Part 1: Introduction,
History, and Structure" and March 1983, vol 8, no 3, "NAPLPS: Part 2: Basic
Features".  Also, July 1983, vol 8, no 7, "NAPLPS Standard Graphics and the
Microcomputer."
