The Basix Fanzine: http://come.to/basixfanzine
The "Basix Fanzine Interactive Library" at GeoCities has been taken down. The site no longer exists at all and may soon be reoccupied by somebody else.
The Basix Fanzine is posted when it is released to alt.lang.basic, alt.lang.powerbasic, comp.lang.basic.misc and microsoft.public.basic.dos. If you want it posted to any other BASIC newsgroups then please let me know.
To get the Fanzines as they are released, join Tony Relyea's mailing list by sending an email to the new address of fanzine@vt.edu with subject "subscribe basix-fanzine". This mailing list is completely separate from the Basix Fanzine so I cannot accept responsibility for any emails you do - or don't - get when you join the mailing list.
