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 next SynTax Contributor of the Year award will be made in
Issue 72 (May 2001). To recap the points system 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.
