- Greetings,
-
- Date : September 06th 1992
- Subject : Alt.znet and related groups
-
- For : New Zealand, WORLD
-
-
- As you may recall we requested a RFD for a news group in the atari
- section to carry all the Z*NET FNET feeds. Well I guess it was the
- old story of no-one wanting it so it is not going ahead.
-
- What we have done is placed all the news in a ALT group instead.
- We have over this weekend placed over 200 messages in the news
- group alt.znet.fnet relating from things like Bob Brodie (from
- Atari Inc USA) talking about the Falcon to people talking about
- the award Z*NET PC won this year.
-
- We have created a series of news groups under the ALT.ZNET banner
- being ..
-
- alt.znet.aeo <- this is an ascii magazine called
- Atari Explorer On-line (ex ZNET)
- and carries not only the magazine
- but also the discussion on AEO.
- alt.znet.pc <- this is also an ascii magazine
- dealing with the PC/UNIX/OS2/
- Windows world of computing. This
- news group also carries the magazine
- and other topics of interest relating
- to it.
- alt.znet.fnet <- this is the Z*NET FNET gateway. Here
- you have a chance to talk back to the
- FNET conferences. Currently we are
- running at about 100 messages aday
- including input from Fido-net as well.
-
- We have not created the alt.znet.zmag at this point as the 8 bitters
- have indicated they do not want this magazine in the net at this point
- in time. However it is available as well should demand require it.
-
- Well I hope you enjoy all the new news from Atari to OS2 and every machine
- on the way. Any comments can be directed to Ron at his CIS address or
- via the gateway here to znet@status.gen.nz
-
- Remember to ask your system administrator to carry the alt.znet groups
- in your _country_.
-
- Best regards
-
- The Z*NET Global News Gateway Crew.
- Z*NET free ascii magazines dealing with most brands of computers.
