My thanks to this issue's contributors:

Phil Darke, Nick Edmunds, Julian Gregory, Paul A Hardy, 
David Hayward, Stefan Herber, Alex van Kaam, Keeks, 
Tom Lorimer, MerC, Dorothy Millard, Julia Munday, 
Steve Provost, Graham Raven, Michael Raven, Thomo, 
Bev Truter, Andrew Wielochowski

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.

The SynTax Contributor for the last year, 1999-2000, is Alex 
van Kaam who narrowly beat Tom Lorimer and Andrew Wielochowski 
to the title. Each of them has won a Myth and Magic figure, 
Alex's coming on a wooden base with a specially engraved 
plaque. They all also receive free issues - 6, 5 and 4 
respectively. Their points have been zeroed and the next 
award will be made in Issue 72 - May 2001.
 
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. 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.

Contributions are always welcome for old or new games, hints,
solutions, reviews, maps, articles - anything! 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.
