+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ IS THIS AN UNTAMPERED FILE? This ASCII-file version of ShareDebate International was packaged by Applied Foresight, Inc. (AFI hereafter). Every AFI-packaged ASCII version of ShareDebate International is distributed in either an "-AV protected" ZIP file format or a SDN (Shareware Distributors Network) protected SDN file. "AV" is the authenticity verification feature provided to registered PKZIP users, which Applied Foresight, Inc., is. If you are using the MS-DOS PKUNZIP.EXE program written by PKWARE Inc. and do not see the "-AV" message after every file is unzipped AND receive the message "Authentic files Verified! #JAA646 Applied Foresight Inc." when you unzip this file then do not trust it's integrity. If your version of PKUNZIP is not the PKWARE-authored program (for instance, you are running a non-MS-DOS version), then this message may not be displayed. (Note: version 2.04g of PKZIP was used to create this authentication message.) SDN is the major distributor of Shareware and Copyrighted Freeware and users who extract files from an SDN file with the current version of the archive utility ARJ, should see: *** Valid ARJ-SECURITY envelope signature: *** SDN International(sm) SDN#01 R#2417 This file is an SDN International(sm) Author-Direct Distribution. It should be verified for the SDN Security Seal by the FileTest utility available at The SDN Project AuthorLine BBS 203-634-0370. (Note: prior to about May, 1993, SDN used PAK to archive its distributions and its authenticity message differs from the above.) Trust only genuine AFI-packaged archives ... anything else may be just that: ANYTHING ELSE. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ISSN 1054-0695 SHAREDEBATE INTERNATIONAL ========================= Volume 5(3) Fall 1995 Diskette number 20 (BBS Filename: DBATE020) Roleigh H.

ShareDebate International has it's own set of Web Pages. Check out this URL location: http://www.xmission.com/~gastown/afi The symbol after "com/" is a tilde (~), found usually in the top left hand corner of your keyboard, and it takes depressing the shift key while holding down that key. You can ftp-download about half of all of the existing back issues of ShareDebate International (the others you can order by mail). You can ftp-download all back issues of Imprimis Online, which Applied Foresight has been electronically packaging and distributing for the last 2.5 years, from 1992 through mid-1995. There is a web pointer to Hillsdale College's web pages and Imprimis Online sub-page: http://www.telusys.com/imprimis/imprimis.html http://www.telusys.com/imprimis/0695.imprimis/imprimis.html This is a short issue with two new topics covered: * The current state of Cold Fusion research. * The case against the Birth Control Pill and the safety/effectiveness case for Natural Family Planning. In addition, to get you ready for the last issue of this year, I urge all readers who are interested in multi-player Chess game (3 or 4 player chess), or who are interested in Chinese or Korean Chess, to get the free word processor viewer for Microsoft Word that Microsoft distributes. If you have Microsoft Word, you obviously do not need it. If you don't, then check out the enclosed Microsoft instructions for obtaining the viewer. You also need -- it's stated in the documentation -- to update your Windows to having the latest OLE support. The information that follows explains how to get that file too. I'm working on a book that will be published and do not intend to take significant time out to reformat it for the Web. It contains many graphic illustrations and it's best to view it through a word processor or viewer for one. The actual Web location for the two free Microsoft Word Viewer pages (one for Windows 3.1 and for Windows 95) are: http://www.microsoft.com/msoffice /freestuf/msword/download/viewers/default.htm http://www.microsoft.com/msoffice /freestuf/msword/download/viewers/viewer6/default.htm In this issue, several files appear twice: once with a TXT extension, and once with a HTM extension. The HTM version is for browsing/viewing with your Web browser. The TXT version is for use with any ASCII file viewer (you can use WRITE in Windows--just answer "N" when Write ask you to convert the file; also don't save the file when you exit WRITE). A nice thing about having the ASCII version is that you can nicely print it out with the multitude of file-printing programs available and mentioned in previous issues of ShareDebate International. I've also made it possible for you to use Netscape or any Web browser to read any of the text files in this and future issues of ShareDebate International or Imprimis Online. You'll see this as the first and last line of each file therefore if you use a plain file reader: ##Those are HTML codes to treat the file as a pre- formatted file. Great Web Pages to Visit: ------------------------- The following are great, very interesting web pages to visit. They extend the debate topics covered in the past in ShareDebate International: Shroud of Turin Home Page http://www.cais.com/npacheco/shroud/turin.html Current Scientific Research on the Shroud of Turin http://www.cais.com/npacheco/shroud/curres.html Many of you, like myself, probably think that the Shroud was proven phony in 1987 by Carbon 14 dating. Yet, this page covers evidence that all that dating proved was that there was a fire in the 15th century that chemically impregnated the Shroud with carbon particles that date back to the 15th century. There is extensive scientific evidence to still consider the Shroud dating back to the time of Christ. Check out the controversy! Digital Politics 101: Is there a new political paradigm lurking in cyberspace? by Jay Kinney http://www.well.com/user/jay/Dig101.html A shorter version of this lengthy web page appears in WIRED magazine. Quite interesting! I'm sure you'll enjoy this issue! ### +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MAGAZINE CONTENTS Because this issue is quite long, the individual entries are not all collapsed into this file. That way readers on non-MSDOS computers who don't have an ASCII file reader that can read in massively large files can read this issue -- all files are tried to be kept under 50KB apiece. Also all readers can quickly "jump" to the pieces that most interest them. This makes printing out what interests a person most convenient and avoids wasting paper and time. I hope you like this arrangement. If you do not have a MS-DOS computer, then only the "TXT" type files might be of interest to you. The other three types of files are "S/W" (Software), "GPH" (Graphic Image file), and "HTM" for a HTML-coded file that is best viewed by a Web Browser, such as Netscape or Mosaic. You can browse/view the TXT files with a Web Browser too.
