                      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.

                        From the Editor's Desk:
                        -----------------------
        
             Hello again!
        
             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.
