- There will be more information on the Secret Service's use of informants
- and the extent to which they were employed in forth-coming issues. CuD will
- be making several FOIA requests in an attempt to gather more information.
- A future issue will be devoted to how individuals can help in protecting
- Constitutional freedoms related to computer communication.

- Article Format
- ++++++++++++++++++++
-
- We've been receiving an increasing number responses using software that
- auto-cites. *PLEASE* don't quote long lines of texts if they are not
- relevant to your article. Also, make sure that that attribution of
- authorship goes to the proper person (as in "josie blowsie writes:") rather
- than to the CuD editors (unless we in fact wrote it). Most editors are
- picking up the "jut2" line, especially in the mailbag file. In long
- articles, it helps to have a blank space between each paragraph and to
- avoid odd or unprintable characters which some systems have difficulty
- reading.

- HACK-TIC Magazine
- ++++++++++++++++
-
- We received our first copy of HACK-TIC, a CU periodical from Amsterdam. We
- don't read Dutch, so we tried to wing it from German. The size and layout
- are similar to 2600. We received Issue 11-12 (47 pages), which contains
- technical information, articles on the E911/PHRACK trial, Milnet, Cartoons,
- and other news from Europe. There is enough substance that one need not
- speak Dutch to get a decent value from picking up the stray bits in English
- (such as a decoder program for Wordperfect files).
-
- For those wanting more information, write to:
- HACK-TIC

- Individuals issues cost about $2.30 each, (4 G) and a subscription of
- 10 issues costs about $21.75 (37.5 G).
-
- CuD (and other text files) are available on FIDOnet through Mike Bateman's
- system:

- 65:221/4 for those on OURnet
- 43:555/203 for those on V-NET
-
- To access various files, simply send a file request to Mike's system for the
- magic filename CUD. This will send out the current listing of archive
- files held here. From there it's up to callers to request what they
- want.
-
- The system is available 24hours a day, IS PCP Pursuitable (even though the
- list doesn't reflect that yet due to his area code being very new).
- For questions or problems, drop a note to:
- SMBATEM@UMSLVMA.bitnet
