      [	No, this isn't a random crossposting from hell.  The contents
	of this new magazine are relevant to each of the newsgroups
	this is being posted to.  There are two separate postings---one
	for alt and one for non-alt groups, because I think there may
	be some problem if the Newsgroups: line is more than 254
	characters. ]

      [	Followups are set to be mailed to me. If you feel a need to
	post, please only post to newsgroups relevant to your
	followup. ]

The purpose of this post is to announce the premier issue of a new
magazine. What's it like? Well, it aspires to be something like _Wired_,
except that it's free, electronic and more net-centric. But you'll have
to read it to find out. Oh, it's called Meta. Generic description and
instructions for getting a copy follow:

Meta is a monthly electronic magazine that covers issues of particular
interest to the net community, including, but not limited to: cryptography,
electronic publishing, free software development, intellectual property, 
internet commercialization, privacy and virtual communities.

Meta is available via email and ftp, and is freely redistributable.

		meta1193.ps.gz (gzip'd PS)
		meta1193.rpl (Replica - requires MS-Windows and Replica viewer)
		meta1193.exe (Replica with embedded Replica viewer)
