- Looking for Online Wisdom?
- The Conservatives' & Libertarians' Favorite Online Magazines!
-
- Applied Foresight, Inc., is the publisher of two outstanding electronic
- magazines devoted to promoting the traditional American wisdom and
- principles of limited government and liberty amidst present and future
- conditions. (This outlook is now considered a political outlook midway
- between conservativism and moderate libertarianism.) The magazines are
- both distributed by SDN on Fidonet worldwide reachable through over
- 22,000 BBS systems. The two magazines are ShareDebate International (a
- copyrighted freeware diskette magazine of nonfiction and fiction,
- original and reprints, edited by Roleigh Martin), and the BBS online
- version of Imprimis Online (edited by Hillsdale College, Michigan -- a
- monthly free newsletter whose paper edition published by Hillsdale
- College has over a 480,000 circulation). Applied Foresight, Inc., 5511
- Malibu Drive, Edina MN 55436 USA. Compuserve ID: 71510,1042 ---
- Internet: 71510.1042@compuserve.com
-
- ShareDebate International is an international debate forum concerned
- about the present and the future, carrying non-fiction & fiction,
- original and reprints. It features over 52 authors and over 25 debate
- topics. The editor is Roleigh Martin who is President of Applied
- Foresight, Inc.
-
- Imprimis Online is the electronic edition of Hillsdale College's
- Imprimis, the most pro-free market college, whose paper-based version has
- about a 500,000 circulation. It is free & can be downloaded from nearly
- any Fidonet BBS that carries SDN files. Orders for ShareDebate
- International get, free of charge, all back issues of Imprimis Online.
-
- Imprimis Online Writers: Dick Armey, Elena Bonner, James Bovard, Chuck
- Colson, Jeffrey Coors, Richard Ebeling, Malcolm Forbes, Jr., Richard
- McKenzie, Michael Medved, Leonard E. Read, George Roche, J. Patrick
- Rooney, Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Polly Williams, & more.
-
- Recently a half page ad was ran about ShareDebate International and
- Imprimis Online in the November 1993 issue of The American Spectator.
- This file was used to answer to answer the questions posed by readers of
- the ad.
-
- Question: Is ShareDebate International and Imprimis Online available on
- the Internet?
-
- Answer: If you can provide me with an ftp site to deposit the Imprimis
- and ShareDebate International files, I'll be glad to ftp them there. I
- have access to the internet at work, but we are not a ftp repository so
- to speak. It's a commercial internet node (good only for it's own
- employees and I do have an ordinary full time job). ShareDebate and
- Imprimis are distributed through SDN which provides shareware and
- freeware for Fidonet's backbone which serves 22,000 BBSs worldwide. Do
- you know of any Fidonet BBS systems which provide ftp access?
- Unfortunately, I don't.
-
- Questions: What's so special about SDN files, and what are they? Is SDN
- an archiving and compression protocol like ZIP, LZH and ARJ ? Why are
- they only on fido boards ? Why aren't your files on normal boards?
-
- Answer: SDN files are actually extracted by PAK (pre-mid 1993 SDN files)
- and by ARJ (since then). BBS systems that have SDN files carry both
- PAK251.EXE and ARJ241.EXE which contain the programs and documentation.
- They have a unhackable security signature developed for SDN by the
- creators of PAK and ARJ. SDN changed to ARJ when they discovered that
- PAK wasn't ever going to update it. The project leader for SDN
- (Shareware Distributors Network) said that ZIP's owner never responded to
- his queries and that ZIP 1.1's -AV protection feature had been hacked but
- PAK's and ARJ's never have. A list of SDN sites is included in the
- appendix below. If you want to inspect the magazines first, try any of
- these SDN boards or any good local Fidonet board -- especially one that
- features SDN files; however most sysops only keep about a recent year's
- worth of SDN files around on their system. S.I. is found online under the
- filename pattern DBATE*.SDN and I.O. is found as IMPR*.SDN.
-
- Question: Is ShareDebate International and Imprimis Online on Compuserve?
-
- Imprimis Online is not on Compuserve yet. Some issues of ShareDebate
- International are and is found in the POLITICS forum (but there you need
- to scan for SI*.ZIP and scan in all libraries in POLITICS), but they have
- only about 3 out of 13 issues there.
-
- Question: What is in the long appendix that follows?
-
- Answer: (1) A "about ShareDebate International" file that includes a list
- of authors, debate topics, misc. info., and ordering information. (2) A
- list of SDN main distribution nodes. (3) An index of the articles
- published to date in ShareDebate International. (4) An order form.
-
- Looking forward to hearing from you!

- name writers are no longer available only to publishers with large
- corporate backing. The day of grassroots mass-market publishing is here
- at last."
- --J. Neil Schulman
- Prometheus award-winning SF author
-
-
- How does ShareDebate International compare with other pro-free market,
- independent-thinking magazines?
-
- "ShareDebate International is a terrific magazine, well edited and
- executed. I am very interested in the nexus between Economics, Freedom
- and technology. Add Philosophy and it is a powerful brew. It is the
- paradigm of the publication of the information age."

-
- #18 Given the size and growth of the existing government v. the gross

- fully copyrighted, either by R.H. Martin or the copyright owner of the
- individual articles in the magazine (which will be clearly stated at the
- front of the article). All rights are reserved. Individual articles may
- sometimes be designated as not-copyrighted and those exceptions will be
- explicitly revealed. S.I. is NOT in the public domain. The distinction
- between shareware, freeware, and public domain is explained in this
- document.
-
- SUBSCRIPTIONS AND BACK ISSUE AVAILABILITY:
-
- As a convenience to those without modems or to those with modems who
- don't want to download nearly 3MB 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. The 22,000 Fidonet BBSs
- around the world have access to SDN files -- although they may not all
- carry them nor carry all ever-made SDN files. ShareDebate International
- is also on 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. The POLITICS forum on Compuserve
- carries most if not all of the issues as of issue 9 (but search for
- SI*.ZIP in the POLITICS forum). (Note: issue 12's addendum--DBATE013--
- isn't carried on Compuserve as it only contained Clinton's legislation
- for his Health Act which is otherwise available in POLITICS.)
-
- Pre-existing subscriptions or future subscriptions ordered on the
- basis of information in old copies of the magazine will be honored and
- those subscribers will be sent the future number of S.I. issues that they
- ordered, and if their order included getting back issues, they'll be sent
- too.
-
- Otherwise, S.I. orders are only solicited for current year and back
- issue copies (for most persons, obtaining the back issues on diskette
- will be cheaper than your phone/computer charges to download all back
- issues). What you will be paying for is not the content of the magazines,
- but the packaging, shipping, time and costs incurred. Your costs will
- vary depending upon (a) your country location and (b) the quantity
- ordered. See the next paragraph for specifics.
-
- For MS-DOS or Macintosh (see fourth paragraph below for Macintosh
- requirements) computers: Specify the highest density diskette size you
- have.
-
- Back issues (about 3 mb worth): $25 (US & Canadian); $35 (foreign).
- (Back issue orders get, as a freebie, 1991 and 1992 back issues of
- Imprimis Online.)
-
- Subscriptions to future quarterly issues of ShareDebate
- International: $20/year ($25 foreign). (Subscribers but not back issue
- orders will get _future_ free issues of Imprimis Online for the duration
- of their subscription. Sharedebate International is a quarterly but
- Imprimis Online is a monthly -- the mailings are on a quarterly basis
- however. Imprimis Online is posted to SDN for Fidonet BBS distribution
- monthly however.)
-
- Mail orders (use check, or visa/mc) to Applied Foresight, Inc., 5511
- Malibu Drive, Edina, MN USA 55436. Email visa/mc orders to: Compuserve
- ID: 71510,1042; Internet: 71510.1042@compuserve.com. Credit card orders
- must include name as it appears on the card, type of card (visa/mc),
- account number, and expiration month/year. Foreign orders must be either
- visa/mc or on a check payable in US$ drawable at a US bank (and named on
- the check).
-
- 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.) Mac users
- need to have in their possession already an UNZIP utility capable of
- handling version 1.1 and 2.04g versions of PKZIP files -- such utilities
- are widely available on MAC BBSs -- if you don't have an UNZIP utility,
- then please don't order the MAC version of ShareDebate International.
-
- Note: ShareDebate International did not publish any Issues in 1992, so
- there are only the 1990, 1991 & 1993 issues available.
