Hello there.

Michael Abrash wrote a lot of articles on assembly and graphical programming topics. But before working with Dr. Dobbs Journal he wrote several articles for Programmer's Journal. As I understand, based on these he created the book "Power Graphics Programming". I am really interested in that because it covers EGA graphics that went beyond interest in 1990+.

Years 1989-1991 are digitized on Archive.org and can be borrowed - https://archive.org/details/sim_programmers-j … bruary-1989_7_1
Source code from the book is here: https://www.pcorner.com/list/MAG/PWRGRPHC.ZIP/INFO/

But I need either the book or (even better) years 1987 of this journal (volume 5 and 6 I suppose). The journal itself is a good reading.
