Archive-name: hungarian-faqπLast-modified: 1992/05/14πVersion: 0.1ππUpdated versions of these Frequently Asked Questions of Hungarian interest π(with some answers) are posted to Usenet and the email lists concerned πabout every two weeks.ππ-Q: What services are available in Hungarian language?π-A: a number of them from Hollosi Information Exchange. Email to πgtoth@phoenix.princeton.edu with Subject: HIX and in the body of the mail put πHELP or SUBS service-name, for getting help or subscribing, resp. The πpostings are sent out daily in digested form. The HIX server can also send πout archived files - use HELP SENDDOC to learn about this feature.π-----------------------------------------------------------πHIRMONDO -- daily news (edited in Budapest)πRadios Hirek -- news summary from the Hungarian RadioπSZALON -- moderated political discussion forumπFORUM -- unmoderated political discussion forumπTIPP -- politics-free discussion, tips etc.π===========================================================π - my server ZFIX handles user-configurable email discussion: πAGORA; to get its description in Hungarian send email to fekete@bcvms.bc.edu πwith Subject: AGORA$SEGITS (the body of these messages gets ignored).π π-Q: Are there Hungarian-related services in (primarily) English?π-A: HUNGARY@UCSBVM is a discussion group designed to provide a means of rapid πcommunication between all those with interests in Hungarian issues. To πsubscribe to the discussion group, send an e-mail message, without any πsubject, to the list server address, "listserv@ucsbvm.bitnet" containing the πsingle line:πsubscribe hungary your nameπwith your own name inserted in place of the phrase "your name."πOnce you have subscribed, any messages which you want to send to the group πshould be sent to the group address, "hungary@ucsbvm.bitnet".π π-Q: what about Usenet?π-A: [Glad you asked :-)] There is soc.culture.magyar - with discussion mostly πin English, sometimes bilingual, and occasionally Hungarian posts. If you're πnot using Usenet, ask around your site - it's available on many (if not most) πInternet hosts, normally known as network news service. If you're under Unix, πtry the newsreaders rn, nn, vn or trn; under other operation systems it may πbe newsreader or of similar name. If you don't have local access, try TELNET πbbs.acs.unc.edu or freenet-in-a.cwru.edu, where you can request permanent πguest account with Usenet privileges (among other things).π If you want to receive soc.culture.magyar posts by email, you'd get them fromπAGORA (see above) - or can request separately emailing to fekete@bcvms.bc.edu πwith Subject: ZFIX$SUBS=SCM.π To learn more about Usenet use the archive site pit-manager.mit.edu - start πwith the file /pub/usenet/news.answers/news-answers-intro ( that lists a πnumber of alternative archives located in Europe as well).π If you do not have anonymous ftp access, you can access the archivesπby mail server as well. Send an E-mail message toπmail-server@pit-manager.mit.edu with "help" and "index" in the body onπseparate lines for more information.ππ-Q: Are there any other connections with Hungary, such as BBS networks π(Fidonet etc.), Internet Relay Conferences (IRC) and so one?π-A: I have no definite answer for these (although heard mentioning them), πplease someone enlighten us!π π-Q: How to contact someone in Hungary by email?π-A: If you do not know the address, that may be an even taller order then for πmost of the Internet. Hint: the audience of TIPP (see above) is probably the πbest - and that of Usenet is the worse to ask for help given the distribution πof readers.π π-Q: How to handle the Hungarian accented letters?π-A: There is a number of solutions, mostly based on TeX. For starters check πout SENDDOC programs etex.Z and hion.Z from HIX (see above) and also the πbabel system for LaTeX with Hungarian specific option, available from FTP πsites kth.se or goya.dit.upm.es.π π-Q: What's the single most important tool in locating useful files in the πwilderness of Internet archives (I realize it's not a Hungarian question)?π-A: It's undoubtedly ARCHIE! Telnet to one of the following servers, login πarchie and type help to get you started (and amazed).π archie.ans.net (USA [NY])π archie.rutgers.edu (USA [NJ])π archie.sura.net (USA [MD])π archie.unl.edu (USA [NE])π archie.mcgill.ca (Canada)π archie.funet.fi (Finland/Mainland Europe)π archie.au (Australia)π archie.doc.ic.ac.uk (Great Britain/Ireland)πEmail access is possible thru archie@<INSERT ONE OF ABOVE ADDRESSES HERE>, putπSubject: help ππ-Q: How should I send suggestions, hatemail etc. concerning this FAQ?π-A: I hereby solicit any additions, corrections, suggestions or questions. My πprimary email address is fekete@bcvms.bc.edu. *Please* note that due to the πhigh volume of email I regularly have to sift messages without attentive and πinformative Subject: get deleted without reading (and putting "READ THIS" πwouldn't do any good ;-) )! Begin the Subject: line with the string ZFIX$KERDESπ(followed by a descriptive subject of your choice) to enable automatized mail πhandling.ππ-- Zoli Fekete fekete@bcvms.bc.eduπ"For my assured failures and derelictions, I ask pardon beforehandπof my betters and my equals in my calling." - Rudyard Kiplingπ
