Contributions

My thanks to this issue's contributors: 

Dave Barker, John R Barnsley, Colin Campbell, John Carter,
Danny Pearman, Ron Rainbird, Neil Shipman, George W Smith,
Ian Taylor, Marion Taylor, Graham Wheeler, Kay Wheeler,
Tony Woolcock and to everyone who has been in touch since
the last issue.

As an added incentive to contributors, a points system is
running from Issue 12 for contributions at a rate of 1 point
per published K of information (reviews, solutions, hints,
articles etc). At the end of a year (ie Issue 17), prizes will
be awarded to the five individuals who have contributed the
most information. The winners' points will be zeroed and everyone
else's points will be carried forward for the next year. Prizes
will be on the lines of SynTax subs, software and PD disks.

The current running total for contributions (in pts) is:
Tony Woolcock      22.6
Neil Shipman       18.9
Ian Taylor         14.3
Colin Campbell     13.2
Marion Taylor       9.5
Dave Barker         8.9
John Carter         6.7
Graham Wheeler      4.1
Ron Rainbird        3.5
Kay Wheeler         2.7
Danny Pearman       2.2
George W Smith      2.1
(In case anyone wonders why I haven't included John, it's
because he already gets a free sub as the co-founder of SynTax)

So, if you have any contributions for future issues of SynTax,
please send them in. They can be for old or new games and of
virtually any length. You can send hints, solutions, reviews,
maps, articles - anything! Ideally they should arrive before the
15th of the month before the disk is produced to be sure of being
included in the next issue. 

Second opinions of adventures are always welcome  - especially
if you disagree with the original review. Hints for games are
also needed, even after the solution has been published, as
some people prefer hints.

Ideally, I'd like all ST contributions in flat ASCII form on disk 
and, if you send on disk, I'll replace it with the PD disk of your
choice. If you'd prefer a shareware disk, you'll have to send
œ1.00 as well to cover the author's fee. As I haven't got an
Amiga, contributions from Amiga owners should be sent as printouts
or hand-written. If you're sending hints, the "3-in-1" format
would be preferred, with a maximum of 63 characters/line. Maps
can be sent in any form you like so long as they are clear.
