   LEDGERS VOLUME 4 by the UNtouchables and friends ..
   ===================================================

   This time it would work.  This time there would be no mistakes.  The
gathered throng waited silently as a huddled form holding the keyboard
pressed the final keys which would seal their fate for all time.  The
atmosphere was so thick you could touch it as the onlookers held their
breath, then a sharp cry rang out 'Ere, look at that, its not compiled
again .. ahahaha !' .. .. .. 

   If you ever decide to write a disk magazine, take it from me, DONT !
There is so much messing around, collecting, packing, etc .. It drives
you crazy, but you are here now so welcome, Welcome indeed, to the
Ledgers volume 4 .. The back to school issue .. I start back at poly
on Wednesday .. My car failed its MOT yesterday (nothing major, its
just annoying !), I have to pay œ 38 for the right to use the car
parks and I am up my eyes in work with disk mags, letter writing and
demos ! .. Its not one of the better days, but at least this magazine
is complete ..

   Anyway, on with the business in hand, the introductory text ..
If you havnt seen the magazine before then this is the way it works,
there are all kinds of stuff on the disk, graphics, music, kick off 2
goals, etc .. whatever we can fit on the disk when the main magazine is 
compiled.  Just look around and see what there is for you to use ..

   To run the magazine just double click the mag4.prg file and the 
magazine will load.

   This issue is slightly different than previous issues.  Due to space
considerations and the general lack of interest (I cant be bothered
typing in game reviews and nobody cares anyway !) most of the games
reviews and cheats have been dropped and so has the information about
what is on the disk .. There are now more interesting (?) and varied
articles.  The promised fouth issue is not quite ready at the moment
and so this issue will have to do and we promise to deliver the best
disk mag on any computer ever for the fifth issue ! .. Read the first
editorial for more details ..

    I (and most of the other Untouchables) will be back in full time
education when you read this and so we will be needing some help from 
anyone who wants to see their name or work distributed around the world.
We want intros (good quality coding), articles (games reviews, interviews,
cheats, programming), source code (your own !), music, graphics, your
favorite PD program, adverts, kick off goals .. lets face it, we will
put anything which has the slightest bit of appeal on the mag because
we didnt have to do it ourselves (honesty is the best policy !) .. 
    If we dont get enough stuff then I cant promise that the mag will
continue coming out as regularly as it has been ..
