Archive-name: hungarian-faqăLast-modified: 1992/05/14ăVersion: 0.1ăăUpdated versions of these Frequently Asked Questions of Hungarian interest ă(with some answers) are posted to Usenet and the email lists concerned ăabout every two weeks.ăă-Q: What services are available in Hungarian language?ă-A: a number of them from Hollosi Information Exchange. Email to ăgtoth@phoenix.princeton.edu with Subject: HIX and in the body of the mail put ăHELP or SUBS service-name, for getting help or subscribing, resp. The ăpostings are sent out daily in digested form. The HIX server can also send ăout archived files - use HELP SENDDOC to learn about this feature.ă-----------------------------------------------------------ăHIRMONDO -- daily news (edited in Budapest)ăRadios Hirek -- news summary from the Hungarian RadioăSZALON -- moderated political discussion forumăFORUM -- unmoderated political discussion forumăTIPP -- politics-free discussion, tips etc.ă===========================================================ă - my server ZFIX handles user-configurable email discussion: ăAGORA; to get its description in Hungarian send email to fekete@bcvms.bc.edu ăwith Subject: AGORA$SEGITS (the body of these messages gets ignored).ă ă-Q: Are there Hungarian-related services in (primarily) English?ă-A: HUNGARY@UCSBVM is a discussion group designed to provide a means of rapid ăcommunication between all those with interests in Hungarian issues. To ăsubscribe to the discussion group, send an e-mail message, without any ăsubject, to the list server address, "listserv@ucsbvm.bitnet" containing the ăsingle line:ăsubscribe hungary your nameăwith your own name inserted in place of the phrase "your name."ăOnce you have subscribed, any messages which you want to send to the group ăshould be sent to the group address, "hungary@ucsbvm.bitnet".ă ă-Q: what about Usenet?ă-A: [Glad you asked :-)] There is soc.culture.magyar - with discussion mostly ăin English, sometimes bilingual, and occasionally Hungarian posts. If you're ănot using Usenet, ask around your site - it's available on many (if not most) ăInternet hosts, normally known as network news service. If you're under Unix, ătry the newsreaders rn, nn, vn or trn; under other operation systems it may ăbe newsreader or of similar name. If you don't have local access, try TELNET ăbbs.acs.unc.edu or freenet-in-a.cwru.edu, where you can request permanent ăguest account with Usenet privileges (among other things).ă If you want to receive soc.culture.magyar posts by email, you'd get them fromăAGORA (see above) - or can request separately emailing to fekete@bcvms.bc.edu ăwith Subject: ZFIX$SUBS=SCM.ă To learn more about Usenet use the archive site pit-manager.mit.edu - start ăwith the file /pub/usenet/news.answers/news-answers-intro ( that lists a ănumber of alternative archives located in Europe as well).ă If you do not have anonymous ftp access, you can access the archivesăby mail server as well. Send an E-mail message toămail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with "help" and "index" in the body onăseparate lines for more information.ăă-Q: Are there any other connections with Hungary, such as BBS networks ă(Fidonet etc.), Internet Relay Conferences (IRC) and so one?ă-A: I have no definite answer for these (although heard mentioning them), ăplease someone enlighten us!ă ă-Q: How to contact someone in Hungary by email?ă-A: If you do not know the address, that may be an even taller order then for ămost of the Internet. Hint: the audience of TIPP (see above) is probably the ăbest - and that of Usenet is the worse to ask for help given the distribution ăof readers.ă ă-Q: How to handle the Hungarian accented letters?ă-A: There is a number of solutions, mostly based on TeX. For starters check ăout SENDDOC programs etex.Z and hion.Z from HIX (see above) and also the ăbabel system for LaTeX with Hungarian specific option, available from FTP ăsites kth.se or goya.dit.upm.es.ă ă-Q: What's the single most important tool in locating useful files in the ăwilderness of Internet archives (I realize it's not a Hungarian question)?ă-A: It's undoubtedly ARCHIE! Telnet to one of the following servers, login ăarchie and type help to get you started (and amazed).ă archie.ans.net (USA [NY])ă archie.rutgers.edu (USA [NJ])ă archie.sura.net (USA [MD])ă archie.unl.edu (USA [NE])ă archie.mcgill.ca (Canada)ă archie.funet.fi (Finland/Mainland Europe)ă archie.au (Australia)ă archie.doc.ic.ac.uk (Great Britain/Ireland)ăEmail access is possible thru archie@, putăSubject: help ăă-Q: How should I send suggestions, hatemail etc. concerning this FAQ?ă-A: I hereby solicit any additions, corrections, suggestions or questions. My ăprimary email address is fekete@bcvms.bc.edu. *Please* note that due to the ăhigh volume of email I regularly have to sift messages without attentive and ăinformative Subject: get deleted without reading (and putting "READ THIS" ăwouldn't do any good ;-) )! Begin the Subject: line with the string ZFIX$KERDESă(followed by a descriptive subject of your choice) to enable automatized mail ăhandling.ăă-- Zoli Fekete fekete@bcvms.bc.eduă"For my assured failures and derelictions, I ask pardon beforehandăof my betters and my equals in my calling." - Rudyard Kiplingă
