THE PIECE OF NEWS
GIVEN ON THE NEXT
FEW PAGES WAS SENT
TO US BY SEPULTURA
WE WOULD LIKE TO
POINT OUT THAT
BEFORE PRINTING ANY
NEWS OF THIS NATURE
WE MUST BE GIVEN
PLENTY OF EVIDENCE
TO SUPPORT IT AND IN
THIS CASE WE WERE
>>>>
x
WE CAREFULLY
EXAMINED THE
EVIDENCE SENT
INCLUDING A DISK
(COMPLETE WITH READ
ERROR) OF SOURCE
CODE, A LETTER OF
APOLOGY GIVING FULL
ADMISSION OF GUILT
AND A DETAILED
LETTER EXPLAINING
THE FULL STORY
>>>>
x
CERTAINLY MANY OF
THE ROUTINES IN THE
DEMO WERE IDENTICAL
TO THE SOURCE WE
WERE SENT
ANYWAY, HERE COMES
CONDENSED VERSIONS
OF BOTH LETTERS WE
HAVE KEPT THE
LETTERS AND SOURCE
IF ANYONE HAS REASON
TO CONTEST THIS WE
WILL FIND A WAY FOR
YOU TO SEE THEM

*SEPULTURA'S LETTER*
TAS STOLE NUMEROUS
ROUTINES FROM US AND
MADE A DEMO CALLED
"EGO TRIP"
THE CODE WAS DONE BY
OUR MATE WHEN HE WAS
IN ARENA, YOU MAY
KNOW HIM AS WILD
THING OF CRYPTIC, HE
NOW CODES FOR US (AS
MFM) AND ARCHAOS,
>>>>
x
ENCLOSED IS HIS
SOURCE WITH ALL THE
ROUTINES THAT TAS
STOLE AND A LETTER
OF ADMISSION FROM
BRICK WHO PASSED THE
SOURCE ON TO HIM.
WHEN WE PHONED TAS
HE DENIED IT YET
COULDN'T EXPLAIN HOW
THE ROUTINES WORKED
COULD YOU PRINT THIS
IN GRAPEVINE FOR US?
>>>>
x
CODE THIEVES SHOULD
BE SHOWN UP FOR THE
SHITBAGS THEY ARE.
I AM NOT SLAGGING
CYRUS, JUST TAS.
MOST OF MFM'S
ROUTINES HAVE NEVER
BEEN USED, SOME ARE
ORIGINAL IDEAS BUT
CAN'T BE USED NOW AS
TAS HAS USED THEM
AND TAKEN THE
CREDIT.
>>>>
x
EVEN THE SCROLL
ROUTINES WERE
STOLEN, TAS NEVER
EVEN CHANGED THE
COLOURS, FONTS OR
GFX.
CYRUS SPLIT UP ON
THURSDAY BY THE WAY!
SIGNED MFD/SEPULTURA
NOW COMES THE LETTER
FROM BRICK (EX
CYRUS) TO SEPULTURA
>>>>
x
TELL MFM THAT I AM
PROFOUNDLY SORRY
ABOUT HIS SOURCE
BEING USED.
THIS IS TAS'S FAULT
100%, THE SOURCE WAS
GIVEN TO HIM IN GOOD
FAITH AND HE >WAS<
TOLD NOT TO USE
a>ANY< OF ITa
ALAS, IT HAS BEEN
DONE AND IF I COULD
I WOULD REVERSE IT!
>>>>
x
WELL, IT WON'T
HAPPEN AGAIN I CAN
ASSURE YOU
SIGNED
BRICK/NO GROUP
NOTE: THESE LETTERS
HAVE BEEN EDITED AS
THEY WOULD HAVE
TAKEN UP TOO MANY
PAGES. WE HAVE TRIED
TO CUT THEM DOWN TO
JUST THE RELEVANT
INFORMATION
>>>>
x
IN OUR OPINION THE
CREDIT FOR MANY OF
THE ROUTINES IN THE
DEMO SHOULD GO TO
MFM OF SEPULTURA NOT
TAS EX-CYRUS
TAS EVEN ADVERTISES
FOR CODE SWAPPING IN
THE EGO TRIP DEMO
IT IS A SHAME WE
HAVE TO REPORT SUCH
A THING AS THIS, AS
WE >WERE< PLEASED TO
>>>>
x
SEE A DEMO OF THIS
QUALITY PRODUCED
INSIDE THE UK
IF TAS WOULD LIKE TO
REPLY, WE WILL BE
HAPPY TO PRINT HIS
ANSWER NEXT ISSUE
LET THIS BE A LESSON
TO US ALL. IF MFM'S
SOURCE HAD NOT BEEN
SENT TO CYRUS THIS
WOULD NEVER HAVE
HAPPENED
