Contributions My thanks to this issue's contributors: Dave Barker, Dave Booth, Steve Chapman, Peter Clark, Nick Edmunds, David Froude, Stefan Herber, Alex van Kaam, Keeks, Dorothy Millard, Jill Nott, Graham Raven, Andy Stenhouse and Bev Truter 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 78, May 2002. To recap the points system 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. The current points list is: Carolyn Brown 220.5 Alex van Kaam 193.1 Bev Truter 183.7 Neil Shipman 182.8 Diana Griffiths 179.6 Paul Hardy 165.7 Jim Johnston 164.3 Graham Raven 146.9 Phil Richmond 126.1 Dave Stone 116.1 Stefan Herber 109.7 Peter Clark 109.5 MerC 108.4 Nick Edmunds 100.0 Andy Stenhouse 94.3 William McCole 91.4 Steve Chapman 88.2 Richard Hewison 86.7 David Froude 78.8 Richard Hunt 77.7 Mark Bradshaw 75.2 Phil Darke 74.9 Alison Dunbar 70.5 John Ferris 69.1 Karen Tyers 68.5 John Betteridge 60.1 Jill Nott 59.2 Julian Gregory 58.7 Richard Batey 51.9 Michael Raven 50.9 Bill Commons 45.3 John Wilson/Balrog 43.1 Jean Childs 35.6 Linda Turnham 34.3 Laura Duncan 30.9 Jenny Perry 28.0 Kjell Robertsen 27.8 Dorothy Millard 26.4 Nettie McCombe 25.7 Dave Booth 24.3 Brian Burke 23.1 Ed Smith 22.2 Bill Jenkins 22.1 Claire Dyard 21.5 Keeks 17.7 Jesslyn Truter 16.2 Mandy Rodrigues 16.1 Barbara Gibb 15.0 Theo Clarke 14.3 Christopher Teague 14.1 Neil Currie 13.6 Steve Provost 13.4 Andrew Wielochowski 12.8 Frederick Darlington 12.3 Charlotte Wolle 11.8 Lol Oakes 11.7 Vicky Campbell 11.5 Sue Roseblade 11.5 Keith Adam 10.8 James Judge 10.2 Anna Bradshaw 9.5 David Hayward 9.1 Rusty 7.2 Julia Munday 6.6 Ann Potter 4.6 Tom Lorimer 4.4 Thommo 4.1 David Stocks 3.7 Dave Barker 2.8 Kanga 2.6 Peter Smith 2.4 Larry Horsfield 2.1 Amanda Oliver 2.0 Vic Horsley 1.5 Jan Charnley 1.4 Ian Gunby 1.1 Trevor Jones 1.0 George Jones 0.9 Norman Allan 0.9 Jim O'Keeffe 0.6 John Tobin 0.5 George Rawson 0.1 Alex Ainslie 0.1 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. - o -
