Anyone interested should send an e-mail to Colin Murphy at colinm@dircon.co.uk and ask for a copy or to be added to the mailing list, either ASCII or full (including programs) zipped uuencoded release Also anyone in the London area who wants to come to the Quanta London Group's monthly meetings should e-mail either Martin Wheatley or Basil Lee at basilee@mail.bogo.co.uk for details #################################################################### Usenet news: ----------- By far to most important source of information about the QL, newsgroups: comp.sys.sinclair all sinclair maus.sys.ql.int general discussion about the QL maus.sys.ql.c68-int news about the excellent c68 compiler maus.sys.ql.ger german only If you don't have access to the maus.* groups on your system dont despair - but they are worth to get them by any means. Most sys/newsadmins will be cooperative if you mention that those groups are less than 100 articles a week, typically <<200 lines per article and no porn . Servers as far as in Thailand or Korea have them so it should not be a problem for your server. If this does not work for you, after intense research of Ivan Dixon and me it is now possible to remote read this usenet groups using your favorite browser and post to them from any site using you favorite newsreader! Posting to the maus.* groups ---------------------------- Try to use the hildesheim nntp server, ifh this fails - Just post to comp.sys.sinclair or something similar which is also carried in Germany AND crosspost to the wanted maus.* group However you should give a clear hint in the subject or first text line saying that this message is also crossposted the the maus.sys.ql group to avoid unnecessary cross-follow-ups. GOPHER news reading -------------------- Gopher has quick startup times and is really easy to use if used through some WWW browser(netscape,mosaic...) or xgopher; unfortunately it appears that this fine service will be completely displaced by WWW in the near future. Some gopher news access sites in URL address format: gopher://hp2.rz.uni-rostock.de:4320/1nntp%20ls%20maus.sys.ql%20 gopher://rnws04.urz.tu-dresden.de:7997/1nntp%20ls%20maus.sys.ql%20 gopher://gopher.uni-kl.de:70/1exec%3A-g%20maus%3A/News/.bin/gonntp gopher://gopher.rrz.uni-koeln.de:2003/1nntp%20ls%20maus.sys.ql%20 In some cases the gopher server still offers some QL groups as they existed years ago, these are of course empty, just ignore them. Some NNTP servers: ------------------ Yous should use a newsreader which is configurable not to read the active list at startup; this will save you almost all of the startup delay. AFAIK netscape and ForteFree offer this possibility. If you use a Netcsape browser for newsreading, just click below Hildesheim offers posting, news://news.uni-hildesheim.de/maus.sys.ql.int news://news.uni-hildesheim.de/maus.sys.ql.c68-int news://news.uni-hildesheim.de/maus.sys.ql.ger german ! Some read only sites, Stuttgart and Erlangen are likely a bit faster than Hildesheim and also offer much nicer threading news://news.uni-stuttgart.de/maus.sys.ql.int news://news.uni-stuttgart.de/maus.sys.ql.c68-int news://news.uni-stuttgart.de/maus.sys.ql.ger news://rznews.rrze.uni-elrangen.de/maus.sys.ql.int news://rznews.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/maus.sys.ql.c68-int news://rznews.rrze.uni-erlangen.de/maus.sys.ql.ger news://news.coli.uni-sb.de/maus.sys.ql.int news://news.coli.uni-sb.de/maus.sys.ql.c68-int news://news.coli.uni-sb.de/maus.sys.ql.ger for conventional newsreaders the addresses read as follows: rznews.rrze.uni-erlangen.de news.uni-stuttgart.de news.rz.uni-hildesheim.de posting allowed !!!, but AFAIK works only with emacs GNUS, telent or rpent news.ex.ac.uk posting allowed, like hildesheim doesn't work with all newsreaders news.coli.uni-sb.de Public newsservers are rare so don't abuse them to get large binary files!! Try to configure your newsreader not to retrieve the active list! To use one of the above servers try setenv NNTPSERVER news.uni-stuttgart.de and see whether your favorite newsreader supports this (tin may need -r option) telneting works always, and also gives detailed error reports, try telnet news.uni-stuttgart.de 119 #type 'help' after login message Emacs/Lemacs/Xemacs GNUS works with every server I have seen up to date, type c-u meta-x gnus , now type the newsserver name and if it asks Subscribe all, if it doesn't show the maus.* group select "show all groups" from the popup menu. Also don't forget to have s separate .newsrc for each server; for emacs-gnus just type 'touch .newsrc-SERVERNAME' from your shell, for other news readers see the startup options or just mv .newsrc-SERVERNAME .newsrc Bye Richard
