                           Looking for Online Wisdom?
         The Conservatives' & Libertarians' Favorite Online Magazines!
   
   Applied Foresight, Inc., is the publisher of two outstanding electronic
   magazines devoted to promoting the traditional American wisdom and
   principles of limited government and liberty amidst present and future
   conditions. (This outlook is now considered a political outlook midway
   between conservativism and moderate libertarianism.)  The magazines are
   both distributed by SDN on Fidonet worldwide reachable through over
   22,000 BBS systems. The two magazines are ShareDebate International (a
   copyrighted freeware diskette magazine of nonfiction and fiction,
   original and reprints, edited by Roleigh Martin), and the BBS online
   version of Imprimis Online (edited by Hillsdale College, Michigan -- a
   monthly free newsletter whose paper edition published by Hillsdale
   College has over a 480,000 circulation).  Applied Foresight, Inc., 5511
   Malibu Drive, Edina MN 55436 USA.   Compuserve ID: 71510,1042 ---
   Internet: 71510.1042@compuserve.com
   
   ShareDebate International is an international debate forum concerned
   about the present and the future, carrying non-fiction & fiction,
   original and reprints. It features over 52 authors and over 25 debate
   topics.  The editor is Roleigh Martin who is President of Applied
   Foresight, Inc.
   
   Imprimis Online is the electronic edition of Hillsdale College's
   Imprimis, the most pro-free market college, whose paper-based version has
   about a 500,000 circulation.  It is free & can be downloaded from nearly
   any Fidonet BBS that carries SDN files.  Orders for ShareDebate
   International get, free of charge, all back issues of Imprimis Online.
   
   Imprimis Online Writers: Dick Armey, Elena Bonner, James Bovard, Chuck
   Colson, Jeffrey Coors, Richard Ebeling, Malcolm Forbes, Jr., Richard
   McKenzie, Michael Medved, Leonard E. Read, George Roche, J. Patrick
   Rooney, Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Polly Williams, & more.
   
   Recently a half page ad was ran about ShareDebate International and
   Imprimis Online in the November 1993 issue of The American Spectator.
   This file was used to answer to answer the questions posed by readers of
   the ad.
   
   Question: Is ShareDebate International and Imprimis Online available on
   the Internet?
   
   Answer: If you can provide me with an ftp site to deposit the Imprimis
   and ShareDebate International files, I'll be glad to ftp them there.  I
   have access to the internet at work, but we are not a ftp repository so
   to speak. It's a commercial internet node (good only for it's own
   employees and I do have an ordinary full time job).   ShareDebate and
   Imprimis are distributed through SDN which provides shareware and
   freeware for Fidonet's backbone which serves 22,000 BBSs worldwide.  Do
   you know of any Fidonet BBS systems which provide ftp access?
   Unfortunately, I don't.
   
   Questions: What's so special about SDN files, and what are they? Is SDN
   an archiving and compression protocol like ZIP, LZH and ARJ ? Why are
   they only on fido boards ? Why aren't your files on normal boards?
   
   Answer: SDN files are actually extracted by PAK (pre-mid 1993 SDN files)
   and by ARJ (since then).  BBS systems that have SDN files carry both
   PAK251.EXE and ARJ241.EXE which contain the programs and documentation.
   They have a unhackable security signature developed for SDN by the
   creators of PAK and ARJ.  SDN changed to ARJ when they discovered that
   PAK wasn't ever going to update it.  The project leader for SDN
   (Shareware Distributors Network) said that ZIP's owner never responded to
   his queries and that ZIP 1.1's -AV protection feature had been hacked but
   PAK's and ARJ's never have.  A list of SDN sites is included in the 
   appendix below. If you want to inspect the magazines first, try any of 
   these SDN boards or any good local Fidonet board -- especially one that 
   features SDN files; however most sysops only keep about a recent year's 
   worth of SDN files around on their system.  S.I. is found online under the 
   filename pattern DBATE*.SDN and I.O. is found as IMPR*.SDN. 
   
   Question: Is ShareDebate International and Imprimis Online on Compuserve?
   
   Imprimis Online is not on Compuserve yet.  Some issues of ShareDebate
   International are and is found in the POLITICS forum (but there you need
   to scan for SI*.ZIP and scan in all libraries in POLITICS), but they have
   only about 3 out of 13 issues there.
   
   Question: What is in the long appendix that follows?
   
   Answer: (1) A "about ShareDebate International" file that includes a list
   of authors, debate topics, misc. info., and ordering information.  (2) A
   list of SDN main distribution nodes.  (3) An index of the articles
   published to date in ShareDebate International. (4) An order form.
   
                                        Looking forward to hearing from you!

   WHAT'S BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT SHAREDEBATE INTERNATIONAL:
   
   "Electronic publishing has arrived!  ShareDebate International is a bold,
   exciting venture that deserves the attention and support of everyone who
   seeks to create a better tomorrow."
                                                --Ben Bova
                        (President, SF Writers of America;
                           former editor of OMNI & Analog;
                 former President, National Space Society)
   
   "ShareDebate International is one of the most interesting developments on
   the electronic-publishing scene, proving that large circulation and big-
   name writers are no longer available only to publishers with large
   corporate backing.  The day of grassroots mass-market publishing is here
   at last."
                                        --J. Neil Schulman
                        Prometheus award-winning SF author
   
   
   How does ShareDebate International compare with other pro-free market,
   independent-thinking magazines?
   
   "ShareDebate International is a terrific magazine, well edited and
   executed.   I am very interested in the nexus between Economics, Freedom
   and technology. Add Philosophy and it is a powerful brew.  It is the
   paradigm of the publication of the information age."
   
                                         -- George Cordahi
                          subscriber to American Spectator
                                       for nearly 20 years

   DEBATE TOPICS:
   
      The topic debate areas all have a long sentence description and a
   short phrase title.  For each topic, the debate can be in the areas of
   Background Reading, Concerns, Prospects, or Better Solutions. Treatment
   can be in the form of non-fiction or fiction.
   
   Debate
   Topic
   Number Long Descriptive Title (short one not displayed)
   
    #1   Funding long-range and/or large scale projects with a National-
         Interest Project-level Stock market. Note: An alternate concept,
         FIPS, for Future-Interest Project-level Stock market, was
         introduced in issue 3, in response to Milton Friedman's critique.
   
    #2   Contrasting two representative institutions: the Olympics &
         Legislatures --or-- Why Occupational Representation may improve
         Legislatures.
   
    #3   Computer modeling cities that counter the Greenhouse effect and
         strengthen the economy
   
    #4   Is the Japanese Patent Law more just and more conducive to economic
         growth than America's Patent Laws?  A side aspect to this topic is
         the fairness and economic impact of America's patent laws. A side
         question to this debate is are there even better patent systems
         than Japan's existing - where?
   
    #5   The hidden cost and economic impact of the Business Income Tax.  An
         important subset would be "the impact on personal income tax rates
         and political impact if the Business Income Tax was eliminated."
   
    #6   Health Costs in a Truly Free Marketplace - Will Costs Be More Or
         Less And How Much? An important side topic, what is the hidden cost
         of government intervention or taxation in the health services
         industry?
   
    #7   Free speech: Unprotected now for majority of voluntary assemblies
         per Supreme Court? -- Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce March
         27, 1990 in a 6-3 decision
   
    #8   Entrepreneurial Democracy asserts "That government is best which is
         legislatively structured the best, voluntarily funded the most, and
         taxes the least".  (The voluntary funding concept principally
         refers to the voluntary purchase mechanism used in the retail
         market and stock and bond markets.)
   
    #9   Preserving economic privacy while using game theory and newer forms
         of money, such as "smart cards," to fight drug abuse & other money-
         motivated crimes.
   
    #10  The U.S. Savings and Loan $400 billion fiasco.  Could a free-market
         deposit insurance program have prevented the massive defaults?
   
    #11  The shapes and impact of electronic digital-media publishing:
         software, hardware, strategy, impacts.
   
    #12  Against Value-less Education: Introducing Denomination-Neutral
         Values Into Our Educational Curriculum To Reduce The Nation's
         Suicide and Murder Rates.
   
    #13  How should Communist Societies progress towards a free democracy?
         What kind of foreign aid can help them towards this goal?
   
    #14  What laws are counterproductive, --that is, when does a law make
         the problem it addresses worse?  What laws are unethical and or
         unjust?
   
    #15  Liberty, its meaning, and the importance of it for economic and
         social growth, including education.
   
    #16  What aspects of government negatively and positively affect or
         color economic and social development?
   
    #17  Towards a modern, sensible and ethically justifiable copyright law.
   
    #18  Given the size and growth of the existing government v. the gross
         national product (GNP), are we condemning our children to economic
         impoverishment?  If so, how much? If not, what is your proof that
         we aren't?
   
    #19  Do affirmative action programs retard or advance racial progress
         and what is the socio-economic impact on the nation?
   
    #20  New ideas for solving the Israeli-Palestinian crisis.
   
    #21  Gulf War Analysis: Lessons from History and for the Future
   
    #22  How would Winston Churchill had analyzed the Gulf War Crisis,
         starting from the period that Iraq invaded Iran thru 1991?
   
    #23  Intellectual property law & programming freedom.
   
    #24  Miscellaneous Events, of interest to ShareDebate International
         readers.

   sometimes be designated as not-copyrighted and those exceptions will be

   between shareware, freeware, and public domain is explained in this
   document.
   
   SUBSCRIPTIONS AND BACK ISSUE AVAILABILITY:
   
        As a convenience to those without modems or to those with modems who
   don't want to download nearly 3MB 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.  The 22,000 Fidonet BBSs
   around the world have access to SDN files -- although they may not all
   carry them nor carry all ever-made SDN files.  ShareDebate International
   is also on 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.  The POLITICS forum on Compuserve
   carries most if not all of the issues as of issue 9 (but search for
   SI*.ZIP in the POLITICS forum). (Note: issue 12's addendum--DBATE013--
   isn't carried on Compuserve as it only contained Clinton's legislation
   for his Health Act which is otherwise available in POLITICS.)
   
      Pre-existing subscriptions or future subscriptions ordered on the
   basis of information in old copies of the magazine will be honored and
   those subscribers will be sent the future number of S.I. issues that they
   ordered, and if their order included getting back issues, they'll be sent
   too.
   
      Otherwise, S.I. orders are only solicited for current year and back
   issue copies (for most persons, obtaining the back issues on diskette
   will be cheaper than your phone/computer charges to download all back
   issues). What you will be paying for is not the content of the magazines,
   but the packaging, shipping, time and costs incurred.  Your costs will
   vary depending upon (a) your country location and (b) the quantity
   ordered. See the next paragraph for specifics.
   
       For MS-DOS or Macintosh (see fourth paragraph below for Macintosh
   requirements) computers:  Specify the highest density diskette size you
   have.
   
       Back issues (about 3 mb worth): $25 (US & Canadian); $35 (foreign).
   (Back issue orders get, as a freebie, 1991 and 1992 back issues of
   Imprimis Online.)
   
       Subscriptions to future quarterly issues of ShareDebate
   International: $20/year ($25 foreign). (Subscribers but not back issue
   orders will get _future_ free issues of Imprimis Online for the duration
   of their subscription.  Sharedebate International is a quarterly but
   Imprimis Online is a monthly -- the mailings are on a quarterly basis
   however.  Imprimis Online is posted to SDN for Fidonet BBS distribution
   monthly however.)
   
       Mail orders (use check, or visa/mc) to Applied Foresight, Inc., 5511
   Malibu Drive, Edina, MN USA 55436. Email visa/mc orders to: Compuserve
   ID: 71510,1042; Internet: 71510.1042@compuserve.com. Credit card orders
   must include name as it appears on the card, type of card (visa/mc),
   account number, and expiration month/year.  Foreign orders must be either
   visa/mc or on a check payable in US$ drawable at a US bank (and named on
   the check).
   
       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.)   Mac users
   need to have in their possession already an UNZIP utility capable of
   handling version 1.1 and 2.04g versions of PKZIP files -- such utilities
   are widely available on MAC BBSs -- if you don't have an UNZIP utility,
   then please don't order the MAC version of ShareDebate International.
   
      Note: ShareDebate International did not publish any Issues in 1992, so
   there are only the 1990, 1991 & 1993 issues available.

   I am on vacation or away on a business trip. (I, like you, have a normal
