For those of you not acquainted with the zine world, "zine" is short for either "fanzine" or "magazine," depending on your point of view. Zines are generally produced by one person or a small group of people, done often for fun or personal reasons, and tend to be irreverent, bizarre, and/or esoteric. Zines are not "mainstream" publications -- they generally do not contain advertisements (except, sometimes, advertisements for other zines), do not have a large subscriber base, and are generally not produced to make a profit. FORMATS Most e-zines listed here are in standard ASCII text format, which you can read on just about any computer or terminal, and print on any printer. A few are available in PostScript for printing on a laser printer (or viewing on-screen if you have a PostScript interpreter in your window system). A small number are available in some system-specific format (i.e., Macintosh HyperCard). More and more are becoming available in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) on the World Wide Web. HOW DO I GET THE E-ZINES? I have listed the various methods of access for each particular e-zine. Briefly, I use the following: FTP -- File Transfer Protocol The host/pathname is given in the form "host:path" that certain FTP clients (such as NCFTP) can use directly; otherwise, you'd probably type "ftp host" and then "cd path" or some such. All FTP sites listed accept anonymous logins (use "ftp" as username and your email address as password). If you are not directly on the Internet, you can use an FTP-mail server to get files. Perhaps the most widely known public FTP-mail server is located at decwrl.dec.com (send the message "help" to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com for more information). (Thanks to John Reeves for supplying this missing information.) Gopher Only accessible if your site is directly on the Internet. Try typing "gopher". If it works, you have a gopher client, and can usually type "gopher host". WWW -- World Wide Web Only accessible if your site is directly on the Internet, and supports a WWW-compatible hypertext browser. Current browsers include www (ASCII line mode), lynx (ASCII full-screen mode), xmosaic (X Windows), tkWWW (X Windows), Mac Mosaic (Macintosh), PC Mosaic (PC), Cello (PC), and a few others. Usenet -- Usenet News Only accessible if your site carries the specific Usenet group. E-Mail -- Electronic Mail You can usually request current or back issues via this address. Sometimes a site will run a mail server that automates some of this work. Instructions are listed, if applicable. Postal Last resort, or point of contact for zines that have paper editions. Phone/Fax Why? I dunno; because it was there. CompuServe You know, that out-dated system that charges ridiculous rates. Other BBSes and other on-line systems the zine resides on. SYSTEMS ARCHIVING E-ZINES The following are sites that archive e-zines. Many of them are primary archive points for e-zines in this list.

This document is being distributed under this arrangement. We have found these compilations tend to appear on various mailing lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider distribution. If you know of an existing compilation of Internet information that is not currently a FAQ, please contact us and we may `sponsor' it. The benefits to the author include: - use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution: - automated mail server service - FTP archival - automated posting - a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy, and coverage of the document enormously through email feedback - potential professional inquiries for the use of your document in other settings, such as newsletters, books, etc. - with us as your sponsor, we will also take care of the technicalities in the proper format of the posted version and updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' to focus on the basic updates alone The choice of who we `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary.
