- Super Stupid Slambook

- "An e-zine that I've put together to review various eclectic things

- travel, reincarnation, and vice. _Factsheet Five_ calls it 'A

-
- WHAT IS A "ZINE"?
-
- For those of you not acquainted with the zine world, "zine" is short
- for either "fanzine" or "magazine," depending on your point of view.
- Zines are generally produced by one person or a small group of people,
- done often for fun or personal reasons, and tend to be irreverent,
- bizarre, and/or esoteric. Zines are not "mainstream" publications --
- they generally do not contain advertisements (except, sometimes,
- advertisements for other zines), do not have a large subscriber base,
- and are generally not produced to make a profit.
-
-
- FORMATS
-
- Most e-zines listed here are in standard ASCII text format, which you
- can read on just about any computer or terminal, and print on any
- printer. A few are available in PostScript for printing on a laser
- printer (or viewing on-screen if you have a PostScript interpreter in
- your window system). A small number are available in some
- system-specific format (i.e., Macintosh HyperCard). More and more are
- becoming available in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) on the World
- Wide Web.

- HOW DO I GET THE E-ZINES?
-
- I have listed the various methods of access for each particular
- e-zine. Briefly, I use the following:
-
- FTP -- File Transfer Protocol
- The host/pathname is given in the form "host:path" that certain FTP
- clients (such as NCFTP) can use directly; otherwise, you'd probably
- type "ftp host" and then "cd path" or some such. All FTP sites
- listed accept anonymous logins (use "ftp" as username and your email
- address as password).
-
- If you are not directly on the Internet, you can use an FTP-mail
- server to get files. Perhaps the most widely known public FTP-mail
- server is located at decwrl.dec.com (send the message "help" to
- ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com for more information). (Thanks to John Reeves
- for supplying this missing information.)
-
- Gopher
- Only accessible if your site is directly on the Internet. Try typing
- "gopher". If it works, you have a gopher client, and can usually
- type "gopher host".
-
- WWW -- World Wide Web
- Only accessible if your site is directly on the Internet, and
- supports a WWW-compatible hypertext browser. Current browsers
- include www (ASCII line mode), lynx (ASCII full-screen mode),
- xmosaic (X Windows), tkWWW (X Windows), Mac Mosaic (Macintosh), PC
- Mosaic (PC), Cello (PC), and a few others.
-
- Usenet -- Usenet News
- Only accessible if your site carries the specific Usenet group.
-
- E-Mail -- Electronic Mail
- You can usually request current or back issues via this address.
- Sometimes a site will run a mail server that automates some of this
- work. Instructions are listed, if applicable.
-
- Postal
- Last resort, or point of contact for zines that have paper editions.
-
- Phone/Fax
- Why? I dunno; because it was there.
-
- CompuServe
- You know, that out-dated system that charges ridiculous rates.
-
- Other
- BBSes and other on-line systems the zine resides on.
-
-
- SYSTEMS ARCHIVING E-ZINES
-
- The following are sites that archive e-zines. Many of them are primary
- archive points for e-zines in this list.
-
- FTP:
- ftp.etext.org
- ftp.cic.net:/pub/e-serials
- quartz.rutgers.edu
- ftp.msen.com
- ftp.halcyon.com
- world.std.com
- nigel.msen.com:/pub/newsletters
- grind.isca.uiowa.edu:/info/journals
-
- Gopher:

- CRAM: The Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement
-
- In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and as a
- service to motivated information compilers, a member of CRAM can help
- others unfamiliar with Usenet `publish' their documents for
- widespread dissemination via the FAQ structure, and act as a
- `sponsor' knowledgable in the submissions process. This document is
- being distributed under this arrangement.
-
- We have found these compilations tend to appear on various mailing
- lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider distribution. If you
- know of an existing compilation of Internet information that is not
- currently a FAQ, please contact us and we may `sponsor' it. The
- benefits to the author include:
-
- - use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
- - automated mail server service
- - FTP archival
- - automated posting
-
- - a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy, and
- coverage of the document enormously through email feedback
-
- - potential professional inquiries for the use of your document in
- other settings, such as newsletters, books, etc.
-
- - with us as your sponsor, we will also take care of the
- technicalities in the proper format of the posted version and
- updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' to focus on
- the basic updates alone
-
- The choice of who we `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always have
- the option of handling the submission process yourself. See the FAQ
- submission guidelines FAQ in news.answers.
-
- For information, send mail to <ldetweil@csn.org>.
