Since I wrote the original article that Steve was answering, I went to my
bookshelf to check on the story.  It seems that I have not remembered the
title correctly: The "Space" version of the "Paratime" story "Gunpowder
God" can be found in the Ace collection _Federation_ (1981) under the
title "When in the Course--".  A preface to the story by John Carr tells
how the story was found among Piper's papers long after his death, with no
explanations attached, although it was possibly submitted to Analog before
being revised into "Gunpowder God".
