Well readers ... Welcome to another issue of "The CRYPT Magazine" Doesn't time fly when you are enjoying yourself? Here we are at Issue 25 a full two years since we re-introduced the CRYPT back to it rightful place as a Magazine for Computer users.

We have lots of exciting articles to "tickle your tastebuds" in this issue, However before describing some of these tasty treats, A sad announcement :-

Ray Hawkins (Founder of the CRYPT) Dual editor and dear friend, has decided, because of Personal commitments he can no longer give the time required to continue in this particular post. Therefore Ray has stepped down from Dual Editor and taken up a position within Riyan Productions as a Staff Writer.

Rays Drive, Enthusiasm and commitment for the Magazine has been an inspiration to us all, However we do understand his reasons, and therefore must also accept his decisions in this matter. We of course look forward to the odd article from the trusty," Dungeon Master" so his influence is not totally lost on the CRYPT.

Right what goodies do we have for you in this Issue?

"The DRUID Stones" Read our article describing the Original Druids, Were they a Mystical Cult offering Human sacrifices, or simply a Religious order of bygone times ..You decide.

This issue we re-introduce a name that a lot of Amiga (or Ex Amiga) users will surely be familiar with.

Dr Martin Reddy ... Author of "EDWORD PRO" a powerful (even by Todays standards) Text Editor for the AMIGA. Some good news for those who have not tried Edword or those who may have tried the PD Version ...EDWORD PRO (Full Version) is now available to download FREE from Martins Website.

Our own Mr Urie has excelled himself in this Issue, Not only has he found a Rock Group that used the wonderful Amiga Program "Lightwave" to Design their Album covers, He also succeeded in getting us an Interview with Darrio Mollo :)

Continuing on the "Lightwave" theme, Check out the Superb examples and Tutorials for this program on our featured website by Jack Thewlis. Interested in Art work but can't afford (Or find) Lightwave, Then read our Review of Drawstudio, Another excellent Package for the Amiga.

Of course we have not forgotten readers using the PC ...Check out our reviews on GRANDPRIX 4, or C&C Renegade.

However if you are in a more lighthearted mood, We have our normal selections of Jokes and cartoons, A full taste of the Orient, Or check out our "Steam Corner" Page for a taste of nostalgic travelling.

Yes ..I believe that this issue has something for everyone. Work has already started on our next Issue ...And I have a Good feeling about this one. So see you all in Issue 26 Witches, Wizards & Warlocks ...Oh and why not bring a friend or two on your next visit to the Magical world of THE CRYPT.
