The April issue was on the shelves here in January, sold out real quick, and hasn't been seen since the middle of February. If the next issue comes out in June then it sounds like we will be lucky to get 3 issues instead of six this year. But it is a great magazine and I do hope it does start to become bi_monthly instead of bi-bi-monthly (and hopefully not bye-bye). Somebody here in Columbus just got their first issue so maybe Transactor is still trying to get that one out the door. Of course we get alot of things here late, The Computer Animation Show starts here tonight only a brief nine months since the net stopped talking about! :-) Better late than never for both the magazine and the movie.

There's been much confusion on the net lately over the state of Transactor Publishing, Inc., the publishers of the Transactor and the Transactor for the Amiga (TransAmi) magazines. The following status report comes directly from a talk I just had with Richard Evers, publisher and co-founder of the Transactor: Several months ago the Editor-in-Chief and co-founder Karl Hildon left the magazine due to personal reasons. The departure was rather sudden and left the company in a bit of a bind time-wise, which explains why the second issue of the TransAmi was a bit later than usual. However, Karl was not critical to the company as it had the talents of Richard and the two editors: Nick Sullivan and Chris Zamara. However, a rumour was started on Q-Link that the company was about to go belly-up because the "founder" had left. Not so, but the rumour did much damage: the company's sales went from $58,000 in January to a mere $11,000 in July. $40,000 monthly is needed for them to survive. Their printers balked at extending them credit, and so did the banks. Anyhow, Chris and Nick were able to raise $50,000 which will be enough to get them through the next little while. Richard will attend AmiExpo in the hopes of drumming up some business and setting the record straight as to the company's status. The Transactor (C64&128 magazine) was printed at the end of August and should arrive soon to subscribers. The TransAmi will be out by Oct. 4 (at least, the printer is guarantees to have them done by Oct. 4). The magazines will be available throughout North America: Coles books in Canada, and Walden (sp?) Books in the States. Richard says that 30,000 TransAmi's are being printed, with 19,000 earmarked for the States. It would be sad if Transactor Publishing would be forced into bankruptcy by rumours. I've always enjoyed their magazines and I hope they can continue. Let's do our best to support them! (I should note that I do have a vested interest in the magazine's survival, since an article of mine was scheduled for the next issue. And before everyone jumps on me because that article describes a slightly out-of-date ANSI Standard, please note that it was written and submitted last December. Richard says there were so many quality submissions for the TransAmi that many had to be bumped to later issues.) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Giguere 268 Phillip St. #CL-46, Waterloo, Ont.

Hi all, Well I called transactor for the amiga, got a recording saying they were no longer producing any magazines until they are bought or in other words have some money. This is a real bummer to me since I thought they were a Great Magazine!! Better than any others I had seen. I sincerely hope they can come back, if such things happen. Only other problem is that I and anyone else who had faith to subscribe lose their money? Anyone have suggestions of a good magazine for the amiga of comparable worth? mark <mfm1@lehigh.bitnet>

I then received a conflicting news article in the mail from Comspec stating : "Transactor Magazine has under gone some recent difficulties. There have been MAJOR delays getting out both the 64/128 and Amiga magazines on time, but Richard Evers assures me the worst is over, and they'll be back on regular schedules again soon. Both magazines may be available by the time you read this." I then called Comspec again and they only confirmed what they previously told me; that indeed the TRANSACTOR MAGAZINE is dead.

Hope for our own T. is not gone! Another good Amiga publication - though very different in some ways - is The Amigan Apprentice and Journeyman P. O. Box 411 Hatteras, N. C. 27943 The Amigan costs $24 per year, is non-profit, no advertising, and is always jam-packed with information. Among other things, it includes a column on programming in C written by John Toebes, and one on assembly language by William C. Hawes - which ought to be enough, all by themselves. Authors in The Amigan are not paid. Software or hardware reviewed is purchased and reviews are not biased because they were 'given'. The Amigan and the TRANSACTOR make ideal companions, but are totally unrelated. Betty Clay ..........killer!pollux!bjc

I subscribed under the introductory offer in December of 1988. At that time I bought a six issue print and disk subscription for myself, and a gift print subscription for a friend. Because I did not have my friends address handy, I gave my address for all subscriptions. In the mean time, my friend subscribed on his own. When the first issues arrived, I gave my friend his copy and he wrote to them to try to combine his subscriptions. The problem has never been resolved and my friend has lost both his subscriptions. However I have recently received a couple of advertisements in his name at my address!!. I have now received issue #6 of the printed magazine with an insert that my subscription is expiring, and a letter with a photocopied subscription form, asking me to resubscribe and offering 13 issues for the price of 12, as an inducement (as an original subscriber). However I have not yet received the disks for issues #5 or #6!! Has anyone?? I like the magazine a lot. I may even resubscribe. (After all I still after over 20 years think of TRONO as "home") (and want to support Canadian enterprises (even if British? owned)) But after the way they have mucked up my subscription... I just find it hard to make up my mind. ----------------------------------------------- Reply-To: Rostyslaw Jarema Lewyckyj urjlew@ecsvax.UUCP , urjlew@tucc.bitnet or urjlew@tucc.tucc.edu (ARPA,SURA,NSF etc. internet) tel.

GIGUERE@WATCSG.BITNET (Eric Giguere) (03/02/89)
One thing to remember about the Transactor is that a lot of the support staff was let go when they ran into financial difficulties last year, so it doesn't surprise me that subscription-handling wasn't perfect. It should be improving, however, since the new owners (Croftward Publishing, a UK firm) are responsible for that end of things now. Transactor Publishing still exists, but now they're responsible only for editorial content. Also, they HAVE been publishing both the Transactor and the TransAmi on a monthly basis since December. Things seem to be going pretty smoothly. Of course, this also means there's more opportunity for members of the Amiga community to submit & publish articles... As a final note, two independent companies publish the Transactor and TransAmi in Europe and in Australia, so people in those areas should contact the respective company. It's the same editorial content, just different advertising.

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!!

This may be rehashing old news, but I was off the net for a while... Is it just me, or what.. is Amiga Transactor still in print? I haven't received a copy for at least 8 months (probably more..) The last issue a friend of mine got was 10 months ago (and his subscription is good for a while yet...) Just wondering.. liked the magazine, it was (IMHO) the best one to come out of the states... -- Mike 'Sirius' Stilson Sirius Software sirius@cup.portal.com root@snurk.UUCP

Transactor seems to be gone. My subscription also remains unfulfilled. The editors (Chris & Nick) will be writing a section for Info magazine. >Just wondering.. liked the magazine, it was (IMHO) the best one to come >out of the states... The rumours of Canada's annexation seem to be greatly exaggerated. :-) Transactor was produced out of Richmond Hill, Ontario. >-- >Mike 'Sirius' Stilson Sirius Software Peter -- Peter Cherna, Software Engineer, Commodore-Amiga, Inc. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!peter peter@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com My opinions do not necessarily represent the opinions of my employer.
