_WARNING_! Address 500:812/5.7 is temporarily unusable!
Currently using address 500:812/1.507! In the future,
a change of address is expected!

/If you have something to add, be sure to write with soap/
/If you are looking for any information that is missing here/
/be sure to write to CODE.ZX or HARDWARE.ZX and perhaps/
/the information you are interested in is not yet included in the mailing list/

ZX-FAQ Server is used for mailing via NETMAIL
in the FIDONET and ZXNET networks:

- Algorithms and source texts of programs for Z80 and ZX-SPECTRUM

- F.A.Q. on various improvements to the ZX-SPECTRUM

In addition, if you want to include new files in the mailing list
, you can send them to the server.

Files are sent as text as possible and can be split
into several letters. Some files are sent to UUE only.

FILE REQUEST RULES:

Write an email to one of the addresses:

2:5030/82...@fidonet.org
2:5030/946...@fidonet.org
500:812/1.507@zxnet

In the name field indicate ZX-FAQ, in the subj line indicate the name of the topic
and the file will be sent to UUE or in text. But there is a limit of 16
requests and 48kb per day.

List of aliases:

%help -How to use ZX-FAQ Server
%list - The latest FileList

Do not request many files at once!

_WARNING_! For users of real BBS on a real spectrum
you should be very careful about the amount of information requested!
On your BBS, the disk may be full - do not request a lot.
For /vikomm/ users in St. Petersburg there is an X-BBS
on which all of the above are available files.
(in summer there may be interruptions in work, working hours from 00:00 to 03:00)

If you have something to add to the mailing list, send it to me.

You should only send:

- Source texts of programs in the form of text in 866 encoding.
If yours compilers use other methods of storing
program texts. BE SURE TO DECODE IT INTO TEXT.
Any programming language. A clear description
of the submitted texts is required (what is needed for, requested resources,
assembly script for large projects, compilers used...)

- Schemes and descriptions of various ZX-SPECTRUM improvements.
Text only in 866 encoding and preferably only text,
but various graphic files or other ways
of presenting information.

- Descriptions of the algorithms of various programs for the Z80 or
ZX-SPECTRUMtext in 866 encoding. Graphic formats are not desirable.
