Editorial

Welcome to the first issue of a brand new adventure magazine! Not 
only is SynTax a new magazine, it's also the first adventure 
magazine on disk. We hope that you'll like the format. If not, 
tell us what you'd like because although we are doing this 
magazine because it's something we wanted to do, you're the one 
who has to read it!

Would you like music while the disk loads? Bear in mind that 
the disk space used for that would cut down the number of 
reviews, solutions and other articles that we can include. Any 
other suggestions will be very welcome and will be acted upon 
if humanly possible! We would be pleased to get letters from you 
anyway to hear what you think of SynTax.

As this is the first issue, it was quite hard to decide what to 
put into it so we have aimed to give a general view across the 
wide range of ST adventures, with some old and some new. From 
Issue 2 onwards, we will be doing more for the RPGers amongst
you and aiming to keep bang up to date with the latest 
releases. We will also start to cover wargames and include maps 
as soon as we can work out the easiest way (and most economical 
in terms of space) to put them onto disk. 

If you have any contributions to make, we will be very pleased
to hear from you. If doesn't matter how large or small they 
are, whether for old or new adventures. There are more 
details about making contributions elsewhere in this section. 
Contributions for RPGs and wargames will be especially 
welcome.

Also, if you are willing to offer help to your fellow
adventurers, either by letter or phone, drop us a line and we
will set up a Helpline section. Just let us have a list of the 
games you can help with and, if you're willing to help by phone,
the times that you are willing to accept calls.

Authors! If you have a game you would like us to review, 
please send us a copy and tell us how much you're charging for
it. If it's PD or Shareware and you'd like us to add it to our 
list, we'd be glad to do so.

Just one final point before we go. We are aiming to provide a 
quality service so if you have any problems with the disk, 
please don't suffer in silence - let us know and we'll sort out
the problem for you. The next issue of SynTax will be out in
September so we hope to "see" you again then! Thanx to everyone 
who helped and gave encouragement during the production of 
Issue 1!
