TS 2068: Type-In Programs
Type-in programs were a phenomenon in early personal computing, primarily during the 1970s and 1980s. These were complete program listings printed in computer magazines and newsletters that enthusiasts would manually type into their computers.
These publications featured diverse applications including games, utilities, databases, graphics demos, and productivity tools. Magazines like COMPUTE!, Creative Computing, and SYNC regularly published these listings, often accompanied by explanations of how the code worked.
