Contributions My thanks to this issue's contributors: Carolyn Brown, Brian Burke, Neil Currie, Phil Darke, Nick Edmunds, Julian Gregory, Diana Griffiths, Paul A Hardy, Richard Hart, Stefan Herber, Alex van Kaam, Keeks, Tom Lorimer, Dorothy Millard, Lol Oakes, Graham Raven, Michael Raven, Neil Shipman, Bev Truter, Karen Tyers, John Wilson Other files have been taken from the public domain, either via the Internet or from CDs. The original authors of these are given credit if known. To recap the points system for the award for any new readers, points are awarded at the rate of 1 point per published K of information in the form of reviews, solutions, hints, maps, letters and articles. Points are NOT awarded for graphic files such as screendumps and photos which are used in the PC 3.5" HD version. The points are added when the data is published, not when it is sent in. Files are published as soon as possible but maintaining the balance of the magazine is also a high priority. The next award will be made in the NEXT Issue 66 - May 2000. In future three prizes will awarded of Myth and Magic figures; the first prize comes on a wooden base with an engraved plaque. Free issues of the mag are also awarded (6, 5 and 4 respectively).

Ideally they should arrive before the 15th of the month before the disk is produced to have a chance of being included in the next issue. Second (or third) opinions of adventures are always welcome. Ideally I'd like contributions on disk or by email. But you can also send printouts, typed or hand-written contributions. - o -
