Rationale

We've uncovered several published variations of 10 Print, as well as created a few of our own (e.g. for a=1 to 2 step 0:print chr$(205.5+rnd(1));:next a), and it makes sense to do a formal variorum, collating the versions, noting the significant and insignificant changes to the program, and explaining what is going on with each of the changes.
