Hello Netters,

here is my small list of usefull informations,links and addresses related to the QL. I intend to post this regularly in comp.sys.sinclair and maus.sys.ql.int

ftp servers:
ftp.nvg.unit.no:pub/sinclair/ql/ , also mirrors maya
maya.dei.unipd.it:pub/sinclair_QL/
garbo.uwasa.fi

newsgroups:
comp.sys.sinclair
maus.sys.ql.int        general discussion
maus.sys.ql.c68-int    targets the excellent c68 compiler
maus.sys.ql.ger        german only

If you don’t have access to the maus.* groups, try to convince your newsadmin to carry them – servers as far as in Thailand have them so it should not be a problem for your server. Alternatively you may try one of the following newsservers:

news.uni-stuttgart.de
news.rz.uni-hildesheim.de     posting allowed !!!, works only with emacs GNUS,
        telent or rpent
news.belwue.de
news.ruhr-uni-bochum.de
nntp.darmstadt.gmd.de
nntp.gmd.de
news.uni-marburg.de           ????
news.rwth-aachen.de           ????
news.cis.nctu.edu.tw

Public newsservers are rare so don’t abuse them to get large binary files!!

To use one of the above servers try
setenv NNTPSERVER news.uni-stuttgart.de
and see whether your favorite newsreader supports this (tin may need -r option)
or try something like
telnet news.uni-stuttgart.de 119 #type ‘help’ after login message
In GNU Emacs/Lemacs/Xemacs type c-u meta-x gnus <enter> ,
now type the newsserver name

Bye
Richard
