JACK AND THE BEANSTACK
by Mark Isaak
Long ago, in a finite state far away, there lived a JOVIAL
character named Jack. Jack and his relations were poor. Often their

are sparse. You must go to the market to exchange our RAM for some
BASICs." She compiled a linked list of items to retrieve and passed it

there; I will swap your RAM for these magic kernels now."
Jack made the trade, then backtracked to his house. But when

kernels together hardly make up one byte," and she popped them out the
