             As a convenience to those without modems or to those with
        modems who don't want to download nearly 2MB 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.  Around 1,500 distributors exist 
        worldwide but the most common places are any SDN BBS (there are 
        about 400 SDN BBSs worldwide); 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.  If you use Internet, you can obtain the files 
        through anonymous ftp access from wuarchive.wustl.edu from the 
        directory /archive/doc/publications/ShareDebate.  Login as 
        'anonymous' and your complete e-mail address as your password.  A 
        complete ftp sample script is available from Applied Foresight. 
        
             Special back-issue deal for owners of an IBM PC/compatible
        or Macintosh (who MUST have be able to read 1.44 MB diskettes).  
        Reference this filename and where you obtained it, and for $10, 
        you will get the 8 existing issues of ShareDebate International.  
        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.) 

           Note: ShareDebate International did not publish any issues in 
        1992, so there are only the 1990, 1991 & 1993 issues available.  
        
           Hillsdale College & Imprimis are not affiliated in any manner 
        with ShareDebate International.

                        LICENSE TO DISTRIBUTE AND USE THIS
                           FREEWARE VERSION OF IMPRIMIS
        +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
        
           Redistribution of Imprimis, On Line is encouraged.  Please do
        share it with your friends, upload it to bulletin board systems,
        etc.  However, as this magazine is made available for you free of
        charge, that does not mean that it is free of usage restrictions.
        What follows is the current license to distribute and use it.
        
           Although Imprimis, On Line is copyright-protected, it is
        freeware and you may distribute issues of the magazine freely on
        a non-exclusive basis without additional written permission as
        long as you abide by all of the following restrictions:
        
           The program shall be supplied in its original, unmodified
        form, which includes this documentation. A few minor deviations
        are allowed:
        
            You are permitted to add a standard "header" file or (in the
        case of a BBS archive distribution) a standard "header" archive
        comment which limits itself to (a) a short ad for your company
        and/or (b) a standard get-started file used with all of your
        distributions.
        
            You are permitted to use high density diskettes and to
        include more than one issue of Imprimis, On Line per diskette.
        
            If you use diskettes to distribute your offerings, you are
        permitted to bundle Imprimis, On Line issues on the same
        diskette(s) that contain material made by others only if you
        include a "read.me" file that explains that the other files on
        the diskette are unrelated to and unknown to Imprimis and
        Hillsdale College.
        
            No fee may be charged for the magazine content, although you
        may charge whatever fee you want for the blank diskette,
        formatting, copying, packaging, BBS-general-access charges,
        distribution and mailing involved.  It must be obvious to the
        customer that they are not being charged for the magazine, but
        rather for the above handling/shipping costs.
        
            Unless you have personalized written permission from Applied
        Foresight, Inc. (AFI hereafter), Imprimis or Hillsdale College
        (Imprimis hereafter), you may not assert that (a) you have made
        special arrangements with AFI or Imprimis to distribute this file
        or (b) that AFI or Imprimis endorses your organization or any
        other product that you're involved with.
        
            You're not required to, but we request that if you distribute
        Imprimis, On Line, to please provide AFI with your full address
        and if you can afford it, material showing how you "carry"
        Imprimis, On Line (diskette copy, brochure, catalog, or print-
        screens in the case of a BBS).  There is no need for (a) those
        BBSs to whom R.H. Martin or AFI upload to, and (b) to those BBSs
        who carry SDN shareware.
        
            This distribution license only applies to the AFI-produced
        freeware version of Imprimis.  Contact Hillsdale College for
        information about distributing copies of the free paper version
        of Imprimis.
