Editorial

It's been a busy two months since the last issue, sorting out
returned questionnaires and working out a plan of action as a
result.  You can see the full results of the questionnaire in a
separate file but, briefly, though a fair number of the ST readers
would prefer the magazine to remain ST only, they could see why
the suggestion had been made and were happy to go along with it so
long as the ST coverage didn't suffer too much. So this is the
first disk to officially cover the ST and Amiga and we're working
on a PC version too which should be ready in a few months. I'd
like to repeat what I have put elsewhere in the magazine - if
you're genuinely NOT happy with the changes in SynTax, I'll refund
your remaining subscription. But please, give it a fair try
because I think you'll find the changes are for the best.

The plan is that all three versions will contain the same
information but this may change later. I'm currently working on an
adventure list to cover all the machines and the full list will
be in Issue 13. Because of the time spent on this, the space taken
up by the survey, a larger than usual letters section and also a
new file Viewpoint (which I hope someone will keep going next
issue), there is no Adventure List this time. Check out the News
file instead for some information about what's happening and if
you can't wait, send a blank disk and return postage for the full
list (over 600 adventures at the last count!)

Well, SynTax starts its third year next issue. Thanks to all of
you for your help in making it the success it is. To quote from
one of the questionnaires, "Any fanzine is only as good as the
support it gets from active subscribers", and it's very true - I
couldn't hope to get the magazine done without your contributions
and encouragement so ..... thanks!
