CongressStack — Herb Jasper

HyperCard stack about the US Congress — quintessentially DC, and an early example of HyperCard as civic-information delivery.

Macintosh and DEC Network — J. Cooper & W. Slaughter

Bridging Mac to DEC's VAX/VMS via DECnet — government Mac users needed to talk to the federal DEC infrastructure of the era.

Analysis of US accession (1989 — Pi covering it ahead of formal ratification). Affected software copyright.

TimeOut SuperFonts — Paul Koskos

Beagle Bros' TimeOut modular extension series for AppleWorks reaches a fonts module — significant for IIGS/AppleWorks users.
