Yes, and when I talked to Richard Evers last it seemed like things were
OK...

     ^^^^^^^

You mean the printers are unhappy and won't print without money up front...

Irrelevant?  Hardly, from this author's point of view.  When I submit an
article to the Transactor, it's on the understanding that I will get paid
for that article.  I don't like the idea of other magazines publishing
my material without the guys in Toronto paying me first.  Either that or
let the other publishers pay me first....  BTW: Can someone who's seen the
UK version of TransAmi tell me if it is indeed #3 and such?  Or are they
still printing some of the older stuff? (i.e., is my article in it?)

I hope so too.  There is NO OTHER magazine with such good techie content
for the Amiga.  All the others remind me of Compuke! with an Amiga bias...
I'll try and get through and see what the situation is like, since I have
a few questions of my own to ask...
