As a convenience to those without modems or to those with
modems who don't want to download nearly 2MB of existing
magazines, back issues are available on diskette. The content is
freeware but diskettes, postage, packaging, and handling isn't.
To get it free one has to obtain it from the multitude of no-
charge BBSs that carry it. Around 1,500 distributors exist
worldwide but the most common places are any SDN BBS (there are
about 400 SDN BBSs worldwide); any BBS that carries the latest
PC-SIG CD ROM (disk #s 2121, 2260, 2390, 2749, 2750, 2753); BIX
(IBM.UTILS filearea); or GEnie (IBMPC RT Applications library).
Search for the filename pattern, DBATE*.*. As of this date, all
of these carry the existing 8 issues. PC-SIG has or will shortly
release issues 7-8. If you use Internet, you can obtain the files
through anonymous ftp access from wuarchive.wustl.edu from the
directory /archive/doc/publications/ShareDebate. Login as
'anonymous' and your complete e-mail address as your password. A
complete ftp sample script is available from Applied Foresight.
Special back-issue deal for owners of an IBM PC/compatible
or Macintosh (who MUST have be able to read 1.44 MB diskettes).
Reference this filename and where you obtained it, and for $10,
you will get the 8 existing issues of ShareDebate International.
Indicate the highest capacity diskette you can take and whether
you have a hard disk or not. Canadians, add $2; International
orders, add $5. Pay in US $ against a US bank. Visa/MC accepted
(include expiration date & name as it appears on the card). MN
residents add 6.5 % sales tax. 2 to 6 weeks delivery time.
EMAIL orders accepted. Write or Email to the Applied Foresight,
Inc. address given above. (Mac users have to have the 1.44 MB
diskette because Mac users are actually serviced on an IBM
computer that uses the Mac-n-DOS software which can only format
and read/write with 1.44 diskettes.)
Note: ShareDebate International did not publish any issues in
1992, so there are only the 1990 & 1991 issues available. Effort
is underway to revive the electronic magazine. Orders are still
being honored for obtaining the back issues, as detailed above.
Hillsdale College & Imprimis are not affiliated in any manner
with ShareDebate International.

Redistribution of Imprimis, On Line is encouraged. Please do
share it with your friends, upload it to bulletin board systems,

charge, that does not mean that it is free of usage restrictions.
What follows is the current license to distribute and use it.
Although Imprimis, On Line is copyright-protected, it is
freeware and you may distribute issues of the magazine freely on
a non-exclusive basis without additional written permission as
long as you abide by all of the following restrictions:
The program shall be supplied in its original, unmodified
form, which includes this documentation. A few minor deviations
are allowed:
You are permitted to add a standard "header" file or (in the
case of a BBS archive distribution) a standard "header" archive
comment which limits itself to (a) a short ad for your company
and/or (b) a standard get-started file used with all of your
distributions.
You are permitted to use high density diskettes and to
include more than one issue of Imprimis, On Line per diskette.
If you use diskettes to distribute your offerings, you are
permitted to bundle Imprimis, On Line issues on the same
diskette(s) that contain material made by others only if you
include a "read.me" file that explains that the other files on
the diskette are unrelated to and unknown to Imprimis and
Hillsdale College.
No fee may be charged for the magazine content, although you
may charge whatever fee you want for the blank diskette,
formatting, copying, packaging, BBS-general-access charges,
distribution and mailing involved. It must be obvious to the
customer that they are not being charged for the magazine, but
rather for the above handling/shipping costs.
Unless you have personalized written permission from Applied
Foresight, Inc. (AFI hereafter), Imprimis or Hillsdale College
(Imprimis hereafter), you may not assert that (a) you have made
special arrangements with AFI or Imprimis to distribute this file
or (b) that AFI or Imprimis endorses your organization or any
other product that you're involved with.
You're not required to, but we request that if you distribute
Imprimis, On Line, to please provide AFI with your full address
and if you can afford it, material showing how you "carry"

screens in the case of a BBS). There is no need for (a) those
BBSs to whom R.H. Martin or AFI upload to, and (b) to those BBSs
who carry SDN shareware.
This distribution license only applies to the AFI-produced
freeware version of Imprimis. Contact Hillsdale College for
