	This is official information about Assembly '95 and its prizes.
	I don't find it nice myself personally, and I hope all the winners
	understand the ongoing situation.

	Assembly '95 was budgeted a zero profit party. Many disbelieved it
	and thought it was so commercial and to the benefit of only the
	organizers. Well, such was not the case.

	Assembly '95 Prizes has to be delayed in some parts. Why is that?
	We got a HUGE (50-70K fim) extra payment from the fair center. Our
	insurance company got cranky and the cleaning company that provided
	the cleaning billed us a HELL lot more than was agreed. They did
	something extra that we didn't agree upon and now they are billing
	us from it. Thus, we dont have money to pay ALL the prizes.

	The delay for others has been caused by the fair centre's late
	timing for paying us the money we had in their vaults, and that
	our bank messed up with the payings (I guess they cant handle too
	much at the same time). Things are beginning to clear now, thank
	god, and we have been completing the final transfers during this
	week and the last week (today being 02-Oct-1995).

	I am very sorry about the state of the things at the moment. I
	must apologize also personally that this happened, be it then
	our fault directly or not... I won't be the judge. But, WE WILL
	PAY ALL THE PRIZES WITH INTERESTS, that is our primary objective
	at the moment. We are collecting money furiously and I am very
	sure the final payments will be done within two months from this
	date. We think its the best way to delay more the positions 6-15 in
	all competition series and pay the bigger prizes first.

	I feel quite unhappy myself because of this situation. In a way,
	me, Abyss and Moku are in the same boat with you, we made 6 months
	of hard work for zero pay. The asm95 prizes and other organizers
	payments are our primary objectives in that particular order.
	But I would like to keep in mind that WE DO PAY THE PRIZES. We
	have been working for the demoscene a long time, and this what
	happened is very unfortunate thing :( But I ask your trust regarding 
	this matter.. 

	About the state of ASM95 CDROM: it is finished. We expect the
	final updates of all products to be delivered to us before
	next friday. You can upload them to ftp.icon.fi to /incoming
	directory as anonymous. Please REMEMBER to add a text file 
	describing what the product is.

	The rom will be on market in about 1 month, and we also arrange
	that the demoscene can buy it via internet too. The price will be
	around $35 or so. And it darned looks good! :) (some positive
	news about it). 

	
	signed,

	
	Pehu, Moku and Abyss of ASSEMBLY Organizing
