Alex, I do believe that you are mistaken.  It has never been my intention
to say such a thing!  It is my hope that the quality of the magazine will
manage to pull it through.  They have had enough problems to make most
anyone want to give up - yet they keep on going (slowly - far too slowly!)
There have been discussions of these problems on CIS, but I cannot recall
ever saying that they would close.

You may be aware that there are two versions of the TRANSACTOR - the
Canadian one that is usually mentioned on Usenet, and the U.K. version that
is distributed in the U.K., most of Europe, and in Australia.  They, too,
have had some problems - though not so many as the Canadians have had - but
they also have firm plans to continue.

Talk of the demise of a magazine tends bring about that demise.  Let's get
behind these magazines and pull them out.  It is possible that we might
be able to help by writing some letters to the publisher of the Canadian
TRANSACTOR.  The editors are doing a fine job of producing a magazine you
want to read, but the publisher is not getting it to you.  Would you like
to write to him?  The address is:

Mr. Antony Jacobson
Croftware Publishing Co.,
40 Bowling Green Lane
London, England EC1 R0NE

Long live the TRANSACTOR!!
