Kevin Doyle and Roy Follett
In this issue we have brief sections of Questions and
Answers and Hints and Tips as well an explanation of a way to customise the
AMPLE main menu.
We have a large selection of AMPLE music (over 20 pieces)
and more discussion (in the Update section) about publishing music in AMPLINEX.
We are sorry to report that, as well as the rather sparse
Questions and Answers and Hints and Tips sections, there are no Features or
News and Reviews sections in this issue.
About 18 months ago (in AMPLINEX 019) Roy commented on the
gradual decline in membership which we had experienced since the number of new
members was being outweighed by those whose interest had waned or who had moved
on to other systems.
This trend has, sadly, continued with a consequent reduction
in the number of contributions. At their height, these regularly overflowed
two, or even three, double-sided 80-track discs; the contributions to this
issue fitted on one side of one disc.
We are considering ways in which to try to renew interest in
AMPLINEX and boost contributions, and we would ask any members who have
suggestions to make them known to us. Naturally, we would like to continue
publishing AMPLINEX for as long as possible, but if there is no longer the
level of interest to make such an enterprise feasible we will have to consider bringing
it to a close.
We look forward to receiving your contributions to the next
issue of AMPLINEX - details of our deadlines are in the Next Issue News
section.
