Publication history
Though named for and associated with the Toronto PET Users Group (TPUG),[1] the magazine was published independently of the club as a commercial enterprise with paid writers.[2][3] Twenty-eight issues were produced for TPUG from November 1980 to August 1984.[4]
In 1984 TORPET's owner and editor, Bruce Beach, dissociated the publication from TPUG and relaunched it as an
TPUG Magazine, in February 1984.[5]
A 320-page anthology of The TORPET's most popular articles, The Best of The TORPET Plus More for the Commodore 64 and the VIC-20, was published in 1984 by
public domain software.[6]
