Yes, that happened somewhere in mid-1988. As DargonZine was a continuation of fsfnet, it took over the newsgroup, still publishing stories from the Dargon Project (some quite good). So far there has been seven issues, one during 1988, six during 1989: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- DargonZine Volume 2, Issue 1 03/17/89 Cir 882 -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Contents -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DAG Dafydd Editorial A Night in the Town Carlo N.

It is probably misnamed (but that has not been the issue here) and it suffers from distribution problems that makes some people think it is dead, but it is not dead. _______________________________________________________________________________ Disclaimer: Read what I intended, not what I wrote... _______________________________________________________________________________ _ : matoh@sssab.se / Mats Ohrman, : {mcvax,munnari,uunet}!sunic!sssab!matoh Scandinavian System Support AB, : Phone: Nat. 013-11 16 60 Box 535, S-581 06 Linkoping, Sweden : Int. +46 13 11 16 60
