  That's  indeed  a  very good question this month, isn't it? Not that much
  has  been cracked and released lately, but this is due to the time of the
  year.  So  we're  waiting  for the Spring. I am, you are, we are and they
  are,  so  everybody's  waiting for a change. I hope I could help you over
  the  time  a  little  big with that mag, and I'd like to greet some of my
  mates...

                         NEWS FROM THE INNER SECTION

  Yo  mates!  This  time it is not RAGMAN presenting to you the latest news
  (he seems to drive around with his red Open too much), but it is your old
  JEFFIE!

   * News of the month is without any doubt TRI-DOS leaving IKARI. First it
     could be heard that he went over to the Amiga only (where he works for
     ORACLE)  due  to  the damage of his diskdrive, but news came over that
     TRI-DOS was convinced to do at least some cracks (only multiloads) for
     nobody less than DCS!
   * Rumors that IKARI, because of TRI-DOS leaving, was now completely dead
     were  quickly  proven  wrong, as NIK seems to be back into action, and
     JUST  ICE  plus  the Danish IKARI warriors do their best as usual. You
     see... It's getting interesting at the top!
   * After  ELITE  tried  to keep their memberlist secret, two guys finally
     mentioned  two  members  of ELITE in their greetings. Well you have to
     find out for yourselves...
   * THE  PIMP,  programmer  of  utilities a modemtrader can't live without
     (e.g.  he  coded "TOUCHTERM"), was busted by the FBI! Annoying that he
     is  now  also  living  in Las Vegas, where it happens quite a lot that
     freakers are busted. His group, USA will surely not drop their work.
   * XADES  SOCIETY and LEVEL 99 are putting together their groups, calling
     their cooperation now ACTION.
   * I was shocked when I was told that some German group, namely MOSKWA TV
     was  saying  they  built up a new group that consists of former SCOUSE
     members! Well, as far as I know T'KAY and me have been the only German
     SCOUSERS,  so  you  don't  have to give a shit about what the idiot is
     claiming, come on! Promise me that!
   * Rumors that the two American famous modem groups RAMPAR and MAYHEM are
     cooperating  under  the  name RAMHEM or MAYPAR are totally crap. It is
     actually true that the groups are having quite a big war, look out for
     several funny demos.
   * Amiga news say that the best French crackers ACKERLIGHT were caught by
     the  police  last  month.  The  first  time  police catches pirates in
     France, isn't it?
   * Another  copyparty  was raped by the police in Germany. It happened on
     the 28th of January in some hamlet called Meckenheim and the party was
     organized  by  some groups called MANIACS and PSYGON. It was said that
     the police got about 40 guys, but most of them are well unknown, so it
     probably doesn't concerns most of us (hopefully).
   * Watch  out  for  false conferences! It looks like as if a group called
     DRIVE got a digital phone and think they can make people believe being
     on a conference line, when making tones.

  There ends the news for this month. Thanx for the supply goes to TRI-DOS,
  JUST ICE, T'KAY, RAGGIE, DAVE/NEWS, VF-TB and me! L8R M8S!
                                                                 JEFF SMART

                        WHAT'S THE SCORE IN DENMARK?

  This  is  EXCELL  of  IKARI with a short briefing of what is happening in
  Denmark at the moment.

  Some of the guys in DOMINATORS have now decided that they left DOMINATORS
  to  start  a  new group called CHANNEL 42. The two guys who left them are
  ROOZE  and  the  former  main  cracker  ZOOLOOK. The response to this was
  quick,  and so five members from NOISE were asked to join DOMINATORS, due
  to  the loss of their skills in the art of doing fine cracks like ZOOLOOK
  did.  That  became  obvious  when they sent out L.E.D. STORM, 'cause this
  crack  looked  pretty  much  like  a  job  of  a fast restore on a freeze
  machine.

  Furthermore, KARATE KID released a demo called "W.H.I.D. PART 2" where he
  claimed  that  ROOZE  would  have  been  kicked out, and that he found it
  pretty  strange  that ZOOLOOK left. Then he claimed that a game was given
  to  him  with the permission (?) to crack it and in case ROOZE sent out a
  version  of  this  useless shoot'em-up game, the KARATE KID would beat up
  ROOZE. Well not that I mind, but I think it's pretty small-brained to get
  so excited about a single game of that quality!

  The response of the guys in CHANNEL 42 has not been shown yet, but I know
  from  some of them that they were quite angry about what KARATE KID said.
  It  seems  like  NOISE  is  about to be a group of a very few members, as
  another  member of NOISE was asked to join 2000 AD, because he is able to
  supply  originals,  which  2000  AD  was  in great need of. So perhaps we
  should  be  able to see some new cracks from 2000 AD, who haven't cracked
  anything since BATMAN.

  The  Danish  TV news had an article about NAZI programs released on disk,
  and  tape  for  home  computers,  especially  the  C64 resistance against
  negros,  Jews and other kind of people who are not like the perfect human
  was  getting  bigger,  and new Nazi movements use the computer to release
  their sick policies, and try to get new members in this way. Often it was
  simple BASIC programs, with a long line of questions about Jews, and what
  to  do  with  these  "unwanted"  elements.  And  after the questions, the
  computer gives a value of the inputs. If your name was Jewish, the answer
  was: -"You are a Jew, but you can be used for hard work!".

  I  very much hope that if you ever get a hold of one of these things, you
  are  smart  enough  never  to  release  it! Please don't get me wrong, of
  course  I'm  not  a  Jew,  but  I  just don't think we should forget what
  happened  in  Germany 1930-46. Most of them often don't know exactly what
  the Nazi movement did to the world!

  Since TRI-DOS left IKARI, many people said IKARI was dead. Well, IKARI is
  not  dead,  and  we'll still put out all the stuff. January was not much,
  because  not many games have been released. TRI-DOS left IKARI because of
  a  broken  diskdrive  and a completely collapsed C64, and since he didn't
  have money to repair it, he wanted to go Amiga.

  Now  we see him cracking under the DCS cover, so I'm wondering if MR.SULU
  gave him the money?
                                                            EXCELL of IKARI

                           LETTERS TO THE EDITOR!

  I got a strange letter on my PLK from none other than EVIL EDDIE, the guy
  that  used to write for DELIRIOUS MAGAZINE. He always managed to keep his
  real  identity from the public, even I by myself don't know it. Well here
  is his STRANGE letter...
                                                                     JEFFIE

                            To ILLEGAL magazine,

  My  name  is EVIL EDDIE, the duke of hell, the ultimate doomsday machine,
  you of course remember me - I was the one that enlightened the readers of
  DELIRIOUS  MAGAZINE  with my literary talents. But as D.M. has now ceased
  to exist, I will not offer my talents to ILLEGAL. Face it SMART, you need
  me.  You  need  a  demi-God  like  me  to  heighten  the contense of your
  publication. Forget that pale imitation called Gogo Brown!

  I  am  the  one and only mysterious writer - the one who knows everybody,
  but nobody knows him! If ya want me to write for your magazine then print
  this  full  letter  in your next issue and print the words; "SATANA VINI"
  under  this  letter  and you will receive my articles as a regular basis.
  Remember, being cool is being bad, and I'm the worst there is...

                                                        Evil Eddie
                            S A T A N A   V I N I

  Well, Evil Eddie, if you read this you know that we of ILLEGAL would like
  to get your articles, so send'em...
                                                                 JEFF SMART

                 VENLO MEETING! - THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES

  Due to some difficulties the organizers of the legendary meeting in Venlo
  had  to  change  locations, so everybody was waiting to see the new Venlo
  meeting... After driving over the big bridge in Venlo, we had no problems
  to  find  the new place, as it lies in the middle of the shopping area in
  Venlo.

  The  price  for  the  entrance didn't change, but that was the only thing
  that didn't change... The room appeared smaller, compared to the old one.
  But  it's  more  comfortable - you can buy drinks and food there at once.
  The  computer  have  been built up in a circle, but also in the middle of
  the  circle  a  lot  of  computers  have been placed. Hum, people seem to
  concentrate on one or two points.

  The SHN, the organizers, are selling empty disks, public domain software,
  computer  magazines  and  a lot more there from now on - I hear the money
  coming.  But  the  most  important  thing  of all was that apart from the
  German  group  ELITE,  nobody  really famous did show up on the 64. There
  were  a  lot  more  Germans  than  Dutchs, and besides LETHAL of HOTLINE,
  nobody from HOTLINE, BROS, SPHINX or disk-stealing ORION was present.

  Thank God, that at least HOBBIT from FAIRLIGHT was there, giving a lot of
  autographs...  Other  fairly  known  groups  on 64 were; ACROSS, FRANTIC,
  PARAMOUNT,  ZENOBITS and a few others... It was better, if you were fixed
  on  the Amiga business. Not only top group VISION FACTORY + THE BEYONDERS
  attended  the meeting, but also some guys from BAMIGA, THE BAND and WORLD
  OF WONDERS came and said "Hello".

  Well,  on  both  64  and Amiga not much stuff has been spread, but that's
  again  mainly  due  to  the  time  we are currently weeping in... Venlo -
  January  was  quite  useless  to  see,  but hopefully the next month will
  attract more people.
                                                                         JS

                       POSSIBLE HIGHLIGHTS OF 1989...

   * March  8-15th:  CEBIT  in Hannover, Germany - The German equivalent to
     the PCS, not as big, but a lot of groups are coming.
   * March  23-25th:  IKARI-ZARGON  party in Denmark - Another one of these
     Danish  copyparties  but  it  seems  as if this one will turn out very
     good, as loads of well known guys have promised to come.
   * Summer:  RADWAR  PARTY  V3  in  Germany  - The third one with camping,
     barbecue, soccer tournament, drinking... Three days stoned!!
   * September 27th-October 1st: PCS in London, England - The climax of the
     year?

                SEVEN HONEST ANSWERS FROM THE FLEET OF X-RAY

   * Which  would  be  the three things you would take with you on a lonely
     island?
     A woman from Hawaii, a computer and 10 barrels of liquor.
   * If  you would win $1,000,000.00 what would be the first thing you'd be
     buying!?
     I would at once buy a luxury condom with snaps and peppermint taste.
   * If you could kill a person without being punished, who would that be?
     My boss at the work.
   * What would be the best thing that could happen to you?
     To get an own gigantical harem.
   * And what would be the worst thing that could happen?
     I've  got five different girlfriends but nobody knows about eachother.
     If any of them would get into my secret, they would surely kill me...
   * If  you  could meet a person in history, who would you like to talk to
     (perhaps not only talk to...)?
     Josephine Mutzenbacher
   * If  you  would get to know that you have only three days left to live,
     how would you react?
     I would drink my ass off, taking dope and joints to do everything that
     I would die at least earlier than those three days.

  ...and if that all do not kill him, he is still living! Hehe...

              THE BACKGROUND STORY FROM THE RADWAR V2 PARTY...

  Last  time  the comic, this time the story! Well it's some good time ago,
  but  I  think  that nobody forgot that party yet!! I'm talking about that
  RADWAR V2 party that took place on December 17th '88.

  Yo,  it  was  around  9  when  the heat was on... Groups like IKARI, DCS,
  STRIKE  FORCE,  TWG,  BROS  and  many  others  were drinking and dancing.
  Outside  at  some  more  quiet  place  the  German  TV  station  WDR  was
  interviewing  crackers  (most of them were really pissed, so I guess they
  won't  show  that  on  TV). Inside some German music band called "The Art
  Commando" was giving their best.

  THE  FLEET  of  X-RAY  was  spreading  his self-made liquor, which tasted
  brilliant...  hic!  Mainly  the boys from IKARI (JUST ICE and TRI-DOS, at
  the  time  still in IKARI) and MR.SULU from DCS were given several drinks
  for  free... TRI-DOS was given a lot of Vodkas! And then it happened that
  TRI-DOS  destroyed  some  glasses.  He  also  wanted  to  leave the place
  together with STRIKE FORCE as they said "Goodbye TRI-DOS!" - he must have
  understood something else.

  MR.SULU  was  dancing  some  kind  of  POGO,  but the DJ didn't play "THE
  SMITHS".  The  climax was then the so-called travesty show live on stage.
  Boys  were  disguised  as  girls  (really  professional!) and RADWAR also
  climbed  on  the  stage  -  three beautiful women dancing their feet off.
  After  dancing  up  to  3  in the morning, we wondered where TRI-DOS was!
  Finally  we  found  him  standing outside in the cold, he layed against a
  wall  and  was  puking. Hum, the disco then offered people to sleep there
  and the rest walked around or drove home.

  In this bad condition TRI-DOS surely does not remember that he was almost
  killed  by  the  programmer of HAWKEYE for cracking it... but it was fun!
  And we hope for more soon!
                                                             JEFFIE! hic...

                             RADWAR PARTY... V3!

  Yet they do not have a concrete date for it, but it will be in the summer
  holidays  at  Heinsberg  - West Germany. Some arrangements have been made
  though, some of which are...

   * Camping for three days
   * Barbecue included
   * A possible soccer tournament
   * ...of course a disco visit
   * and a lot more...

  Well,  we  will keep you informed, and be sure that you do not miss it as
  this  seems  to  become  the  meeting  of the Summer '89! A lot of people
  already said they are surely going to come; e.g. IKARI, DCS, FAIRLIGHT...

                                                                         JS

                       NEW THINGS FROM... SYSTEM FOUR!

  Hehe,  I  was  close to the edge of success, I thought, though my chances
  were  1:1,000,000,000!  Of course I probably lost again, but I don't know
  for sure. First I had to wait some weeks, then I couldn't look at it. But
  it  doesn't  make  me commit suicide (yet), so I go back to my old SYSTEM
  FOUR friends...

  Bad  news  I  get  to  know, some meeting by some "s"-class boys has been
  interrupted  by  enemy  forces... Hoh, some friend of mine almost shitted
  his  trousers,  he felt afraid. Well I kept a cold head, and continued as
  usual.  YET  no problems! Our foundation is doing very well it's job and,
  due  to  some bad situation, we have a big success. I anyway, felt pretty
  sick  the  other day and went to the doctor. Good pal, the doctor, 'cause
  he said I should spend the whole week at home. Ha!

  Time  to  think about everything. New ideas save the country, well I have
  to  admit  I  wasn't satisfied with myself, but it was a good try, wasn't
  it?  I  don't  give a damn about what those people say, they kick you up,
  they  kick you down, they hurt you everyday... It takes years to find the
  truth, beside yourself, not depend on anyone... I spent a great week, and
  then  it  snows!  Great I thought, put my sunglasses on and walked to the
  school. The place of all my shame!

  I  shook  my  head,  when  I  saw  that girl again... I can't explain the
  feeling,  but  it's  not bad. Still I can't win. Am I born to lose? Haha,
  probably I tried to explain everything to her, but still she seems not to
  see  my true ego. I just can't stop thinking and thinking, but whatever I
  do,  it doesn't become a success. I think I could write her a letter, but
  I feel so unsafe. But that week gave me much of my strength back.

  I  talked four hours to some guy that was almost bitten by a dog, I heard
  some  other very good "a"-class friend not giving up, and I talked to the
  old  boys.  Retirement  doesn't  seem  that bad to me after all. I admire
  those  guys  who  were  escape  from SYSTEM FOUR, and start a new life. I
  can't  go  and say farewell to everyone. I'll never can... probably until
  the  enemy  forces  come  and  kill  me,  or until some good-looking girl
  arrives and takes me away on her wings... hehe...

  I admit that I was wrong. It took me far too long, in two years everybody
  will  have  forgotten  me,  I'm  sure... Back to that girl, is anyone out
  there  who  could  help  me?  I'm  almost  sure  that  she doesn't have a
  boyfriend, so that's not the problem. I need a shave, I think and I never
  know... Why can't that year go on the way it started?

  It's some wet evening, I drank too much, but I feel pretty strong, strong
  enough  to write her a letter... on the other day, I still thought it was
  a dream, I gave the letter over to her... Will this mean another big loss
  in  the  series of Ian Curtis moments or will this be the first won match
  this  season?  At least, nothing in this world can touch the music that I
  hear  when  I  woke  up  this  morning...  Will she reply, and how?

  away! We tell you how to hide your adress book, so your friends can sleep
  safer...

   * Open  your  computer with a screwdriver, and put your adress book into
     it.
   * Engrave  the adresses on some icecubes and put them in the freezer, so
     if the cops over it they'll melt.
   * Record  a  videotape  where you act in front of the camera showing all
     adresses.  Record  the  first five minutes with some shit from regular
     TV.  But  don't put a porno movie on - the cops would surely take that
     one away!
   * Put  all  your  adresses  on the back side of the toiletpaper. You can
     even wipe your ass with all the guys you don't like.
   * Build  up  an  own  radio  station  that is transmitting your adresses
     around the hour. (??)
   * Record your adresses on a record - put some music in the beginning.
   * Make an advertisement in the newspaper that includes all adresses that
     you  have.  Then  you  just have to buy the newspaper and nobody would
     check it.
   * Ask  mommy  to  knit  a  pullover  after a pattern that shows all your
     adresses. Make sure that you wear it all the time.
   * If  you  got such a speaking teddybear, teach him to say your complete
     adress-list when you push a certain button.
   * Stitch  all  your adresses into your pandies! You may put all adresses
     of guys you don't like too much in the middle of the backside.

  Well,  don't  take  those  possibilities too serious! Compiled by GENERAL
  ZOFF / MOVERS and JEFFIE!

                       GOGO BROWN... AT THE CARNIVAL!

  Well  time  has  already come for me to say farewell to ya... I'm leaving
  the  scene  for  about  6 months from now on. As a last thing I'd like to
  tell  ya;  What  are your pirates wearing for the carnival? Carnival is a
  big fancy dress-ball for everyone, and I'm telling you this time how your
  friends are secretly dressing up for it... (in A-Z order)

   * ASH+DAVE  are  not  really pirates, but get some old dinner jacket and
     appear as Stan Lauren + Oliver Hardy.
   * CONAN  of STRIKEFORCE after several face operations, he wears a golden
     glove and dances as Michael Jackson.
   * HOBBIT of FAIRLIGHT puts some brushes into his hair, and is Picasso.
   * JANITOR  of  ex-TRIAD  buys  a  Ferrari Testarossa, and comes as Sonny
     Crockett from Miami Vice.
   * JEFF  SMART (who's making this mag) wears sunglasses, has a full beard
     and spends a quiet time at any party as an unrecognized person...
   * JUST ICE of IKARI gets a thick wool overcoat, some gloves and comes as
     an eskimo.
   * MAD  ALL of CFR has a wig with long hair and a guitar and turns out as
     the lead singer of Iron Maiden.
   * MITCH  of EAGLESOFT wears a big white cap, and is a professional pizza
     baker.
   * MR.CURSOR (some programming freak) has a tennis racket, discolored his
     hair  yellow,  drops his American flight pilot jacket and his glasses,
     and is Boris Becker himself.
   * MR.SULY  (the small guy from DCS) pulls some brown pelt over and comes
     as Alf.
   * MWS  (party  organizer  from  RADWAR)  wears  a  mask  and plays to be
     Casanova (and also acts like him - as usual).
   * NOSAH  (editor  of DCS' mag IGUANA which is getting better and better)
     puts  on  some  fine dinner jacket and drinks his 5 o'clock tea as the
     typical Englishman.
   * SLEDGEHAMMER (still the leader of old Dutch fame HOTLINE) has now true
     rasta-curls and brings a football along, and appears like Ruud Gullit.
   * STEVE  of  ZENITH  (the  infamous...)  comes  as  a waste disposer and
     doesn't even have to dress up.
   * STRIDER (commiekiller from FAIRLIGHT) is wearing a red head-band and a
     fully working flamethrower and is now called John Rambo.
   * TRI-DOS  (Pet  Shop  Boys  fan  from  DCS  nowadays) has a new leather
     jacket,  a  microphone  in his hand and is singing every Pet Shop Boys
     song live.
   * WEETIBIX  (the  King  from  the SCOUSERS) is now having a crown on his
     head and comes as His Majesty.

  Yeah,  I  hope  I  offended  nobody...  if so, I'm not sorry. (yo Steve!)
  Anyway,  I  better go now, as I have to pack my bag for a long journey...
  Yours Sincerely, GOGO BROWN - (and GOGO goes...)

                          PIRATE FANZINES REVIEWED

  Well  it  came  to my ears that "GAME ON", which belongs to MAGIC DISK 64
  reviewed  in  their  last  issue different pirate magazines. I found very
  interesting  that  "NEWS" was given the fewest points, your "ILLEGAL" was
  set on #2, but the best pirate magazine was "SMASHER". Not only that this
  was  really  annoying,  because  every  serious  person would come to the
  conclusion that "SMASHER" is not more than just toiletpaper in sheets!

  But  guess  who  wrote  the  article?  Yes,  some  guy who is working for
  "SMASHER"  and  of  course  he  would have a material interest in selling
  their  shit!  Next  month,  we  from  "ILLEGAL"  are going to make a fair
  ranking  of  all  magazines  appearing (e.g. "IGUANA", "NEWS", "PIRATES",
  etc...)
                                                                         JS
                  IS THE AMIGA ORIGINAL OF "ELITE" BUGGED?

  News  came that FIREBIRD is going to take all sold copies of ELITE on the
  Amiga back, because they found out that it is bugged on the original! The
  bug does not really become obvious, but it made a lot of people wondering
  why  the  hell  they  could  never reach the "ELITE" ranking, though they
  mastered  every special mission (there are five) and played more than 100
  hours... Quite a shame, isn't it?
                                                                         JS
                           ILLEGAL... BACK ISSUES!

  Finally  you  can  order the backnumbers of your pirate fanzine ILLEGAL..
  What  do you have to do for it? It's very easy, you just have to send 2DM
  or  one  3.5" Amiga disk for each issue you'd like to get, another 2DM or
  another Amiga disk for postage, and a self-adressed envelope.

  An  example: You want to have THREE backnumbers, then you have to send us
  8DM  or  2  Amiga disks plus a S.A.E. Feel free to ask us if you have any
  questions  about  it.  OK  then, here goes a survey of all issues you can
  order (plus the current one of course) and the highlights of each...

                                VIDEO REVIEWS

  Acieeed!  Hello freaks, and welcome to another "Video Reviews". This time
  I  shall  be  looking at Colors and Twins - the new Schwarzenegger movie.
  With  so  many  new movies out on video, I have picked up two of the best
  available...

   * COLORS:  Set  in the black ghettos of Los Angeles, two cops (played by
     Sean  Penn  and  Robert  Duvall) who are part of the anti gang warfare
     squad  "Flying  Crash",  try and fight the gangs of Cripps and Bloods.
     There  is  plenty of shooting and killings, so it should appeal to all
     out  there reading this! RATING: If you like mindless violence for the
     sake of it, then you should like this. 65%
   * TWINS: In this new one from Schwarzenegger, he is now breaking new
     areas with his first comedy film. Danny de Vito stars alongside Arnold
     as two twins who meet for the first time with hilarious results. Not
     only is the obvious difference in size obvious, but the gags and
     escapades they get up to are also very funny! RATING: Keep it up
     Arnie! 90%

                              C64 GAME REVIEWS

   * STEEL  comes  from RACK IT/HEWSON and is a very nice "collect & shoot"
     game that has brilliant graphics. 84pts.
   * DRAGON NINJA is another beat'em-up from IMAGINE. Well, the gameplay is
     quite fast, but it's nothing incredible, 86pts.
   * LED STORM makes you take part in some races, where you have to collect
     things and destroy others cars. Good for 87pts.
   * PROJECT  FIRESTART  was  programmed  by ELECTRONIC ARTS, and that says
     almost all. It used 4 disk sides and offers a great gameplay! 94pts.
   * FISH to be is quite difficult! That is well proven in the new MAGNETIC
     SCROLL  masterpiece.  It's not only thrill, but also great, great fun!
     97pts.

                             AMIGA GAME REVIEWS

   * HIGHWAY  HAWKS  is a fast car race game from ANCO, but beside the fact
     that  the game takes about 2 disks, there is nothing left to say about
     it. 68pts.
   * TECHNOCOPS  from  US  GOLD  is  both  a  good  car  racing  game and a
     beat'em-up mixed up with some strategy. 83pts.
   * LIVE  AND  LET  DIE  makes  you  being James Bomb err.. Bond. Take the
     basics  from Buggy Boy with a ship on water, and you have LIVE AND LET
     DIE.  A  little  bit more backgrounds make the game quite interesting.
     85pts.
   * WORLD  CLASS  LEADERBOARD  is one of the best sports simulations ever,
     without  a  doubt. Now there is a new version out. It additionally has
     an editor and saves the best scores. 95pts.

  C64  chart  comments: Look at the new C64 cracker charts, and you'll find
  some interesting things. For the second time in ILLEGAL history, a German
  group  reached  the  top position (BEASTIE BOYS in November 1987 were the
  first).  ELITE  did it with an average of 8.04 points. IKARI dropped from
  #1  after  staying  there  for  four months, DCS didn't get up to #1 this
  month but are strong enough to have another try next month.

  The biggest surprise comes from Austria; X-RAY jumped from #10 to #5, and
  they  really  deserved  it!  They  follow  the  old  TRIAD standards with
  excellent trainers and short versions. FAIRLIGHT stays in top 10 with big
  luck.  HOTLINE was only 0.195 points behind. Welcome back to ZENITH! Next
  month more...
