  In Zone 1, current issues of The Hack Report are available on the first
  Sunday of each month for F'Req using the magic name HACK.

  The 1992 Full Archive (filename HACK92FA.*) is also available from these
  sites - other back issues are not made available, due to the cumulative
  nature of the report.

  Files are requestable from 5am-2am Central Time.  Contact the SysOps of
  each system to confirm availability via TICK.

  I actively encourage the distribution of the archive in its original,
  unmodified state (except for archive type conversion) to other BBS
  systems.  If you upload it to a board that isn't hooked into this echo,
  please leave a message for the SysOp to let them know what you've sent.
  Ask them (politely) to read it and respond (if they have comments)
  through you or by calling one of the systems listed in the report and
  posting their comments.

  My thanks go out to all who have made this report a reality (with the
  exception of the hackers who made the report a necessity, of course).
  The report is not "my" report: rather, it's a report _from_ me _to_ you,
  based on your posts in FidoNet and other networks.  Thanks for your
  support, and for helping to keep shareware clean!
