I won't claim that Transactor is going to survive, but they do seem to still
breath no and then.  Many people, including me, received an issue (V3#1, I
think) during the past month.

Since it's been five months for you, perhaps your subscription was a victem of
Transactors database crash.  I suggest you send them a short, polite note
saying that you are a subscriber, how many issues you think you still
deserve, your address, and best wishes.  Might not help, but then again....
