Press Release, Wednesady - January 6, 1992

 ********   WORLD VIEW MAGAZINE LOOKING FOR OUTSIDE CONTACTS   ********
 ********   NEW INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SERVER GOES ONLINE       ********

January 6, 1992

AUSTIN, TX (WV) - The World View Magazine, an underground publication
distributed by Fennec Information Systems in Austin, Texas is currently 
seeking individuals and/or organizations to be remote distribution points
of access. (bureaus). The publication covers topics ranging from politics, 
to cyberspace issues, to editorials, and so on. The World View is well into 
it's second year of monthly distributions. With the coming of a new year, 
plans of expansion are dancing in their heads. Thus the reason for this 
release. Fennec Information Systems is currently looking for individuals 
or organizations to devote a minimal amount of time for writing, editing, 
distribution, and information gathering. The plan calls for at least three 
bureaus in various parts of the United States, and at least one office in 
some other part of the world. These are turbulent times in cyberspace, and 
the need for information grows. There are several reasons for this plan. 
One reason for the project is to be able to provide information to those 
individuals who do not have access to the Internet, those who may have 
accounts on smaller bulletin board systems that do not ultimately have any 
connection to the Internet. Other reasons include expanding the reader-base, 
gain access to other sources of information, and to educate the masses of 
the goings-on in cyberspace. Any feedback is appreciated. If you are 
interested in taking part in this colossal effort, please mail: 
wv-exp93@fennec.com. An info form and other information will be 
sent in return mail within one hour of your request being recieved. Specific 
cities being targeted for expansion are San Diego, New York, Boston, Detroit, 
Seattle, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Houston, Cleveland, 
Atlanta, Miami, and St. Louis. Although it is almost sure that all of these 
cities will not join in on the project, some of them already have. You do 
NOT have to live in or near any of the listed cities in order to take part 
in this expansion effort. If you wish to take part, once again, send mail 
to this address:    wv-exp93@fennec.com
 
The following items might be of help when deciding to apply for the expansion:

Are you:

1) The System Operator of a BBS?
2) Familiar with the electronic publications currently in distribution?
3) Able to write/obtain information from computer enthusiasts in your area?
4) Accessible via Voice and/or Data number? 

Your answers will not affect our decision!

A mandatory requirment:

** Must have Internet mailing address. **

With the help of some of you out there, WV will be able to expand their
horizons. If you are interested, please send mail stating your interest in
this project to the following:   wv-exp93@fennec.com

 ============================================================================

  NEW INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SERVER ESTABLISHED AT FENNEC INFORMATION SYSTEMS.

 ============================================================================

 On January 4, 1992, a new information server will go online at Fennec I.S.
 The server's purpose is to make it possible to fulfill all the request for
 back issues of the World View Magazine, as well as other documents. The 
 server's name is 'wv-serv.fennec.com' The server will accept incoming
 requests for documents via electronic mail, and mail them back out within
 one hour. With the overwhelming amount of requests for back issues of the
 World View as well as other underground publications, it has become 
 impossible for the System Administrators to provide the amount of 
 information requested. So, to make the load easier on everyone, the 
 'worldview server' has been established. All back issues of the World View
 will be online as of 06:00 hrs central time. Other publications will 
 become available over the next 6 to 8 weeks. This will provide users 
 without direct IP access an alternative, easy way to get some of the more
 popular publications. For documentation on how to use this procedure,
 as well as a list of files available, send electronic mail to the following
 address:
                  wv-serv@fennec.com
                 
 Any technical questions regarding this server, it's operation, 
 availablity, etc...should be directed to the following address:

                  wv-tech@fennec.com
