- FAQ: The Linkoping SF & Fantasy Archive
- ---------------------------------------
- _
- What is the Linkoping Science Fiction & Fantasy archive?
-
- It is a collection of texts I have saved from USENET during
- the last 7-8 years. It is mostly reviews and list of different
- kinds, but also some other stuff that I've found interesting
- for this or that reason.
-
- How do I access it?
-
- It is available through FTP, gopher and WWW, at the following
- adresses:
- ftp.lysator.liu.se, /pub/sf-texts
- gopher.lysator.liu.se
- http://sf.www.lysator.liu.se/sf_archive/
-
- How long has this been around?
-
- A bit over three years.
-
- How large is it?
-
- A bit over 60 Mbyte.
- _
- What is the underline doing above the 'o' in Linkoping?
-
- There should really have been two dots over the o, but News
- does not allow 8-bit characters, and MIME isn't wide-spread
- enough yet. This is a visually acceptable compromise.
- _
- What *is* Linkoping?
-
- A Swedish city.
-
- Some information is missing or incorrect in the archive. How can this be
- fixed?
-
- Drop me a mail at:
- matoh@lysator.liu.se
- and I will append your mail to the text in question. The texts
- in the archive is written by other people, and as an archivist
- I don't want to alter their texts, giving the impression that
- they have written something that they in fact have not.
-
- I cannot find the texts I saw recently in rec.arts.sf.written. Have
- you missed them?
-
- I don't read news and save texts on the same system as the one
- the archive resides on, so I collect large batches before I
- transfer the texts to the correct system and sort them into
- place in the archive. This often means some delay, especially
- when I am busy with other things. Don't worry, they will
- appear in the end.
-
- Is the archive searchable?
-
- Yes, it is. I have some problems with making waisindex do what
- I want without having to run a wais server too, so it is still
- considered somewhat "experimental". It *should* work most of
- the time, though...
-
- What about images and artwork?
-
- I have a small "gallery" with images from local fan artists. I
- would love to expand it, so if you have any images you want to
- add, contact me. I want to have direct contact with the artist
- in question, as I want to be sure that providing the images is
- OK with them.
-
- What can I do with these images?
-
- The images are copyrighted by their artist. You may download
- and view them, but not distribute them further. Please respect
- this, so that this service may continue.
-
- Why don't you add a link to this-or-that page?
- How can I get this really neat file I have into the archive?
- Why isn't *my* question here?
-
- Drop me a line at the address above, and I'll see what I can
- do.
