Also, http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/At%20Play%20With%20J/About has a link to a zip file with the original source text. File 3493342.pdf from the zip file has the articles in pdf format. It has helped me decipher the often poorly formatted wiki articles. In particular, Roger's words below are italicized in the pdf file.

Hi,

In the column where Eugene McDonnell wrote about Boggle I see this:
"I've put in italics those words, which, by Boggle rules, are not
legal words."

Unfortunately, there are no italics in the text I'm working from online.
If somebody has a tangible copy of the Vector magazine (number 28,
issue 18.1) it would be great to learn which words in the result table
were italicized. (The table is about two-thirds of the way through the
article.)

As a secondary matter, I have the impression that @: was added to J after these essays were written, so there may be places where its use, in place of @, would be appropriate updating. At present, however, my
approach is to retain @ throughout.

Tracy
