I was recently on slopoke to pick up those font mentioned a few months back, and was suprised to see all the magick related material up there. Even a Thelema section, although that wasn't too long. nic.funet.fi (over in finland) apparantly has a mirror of the magick directory from slopoke, so we have a european distribution point as well. Glad to see the Internet brethren are finally catching up. :) Anyone else know good internet ftp sites to check for magick related files? 93, Darrin 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Darrin Hyrup Area: RPSTOVAL To: Frater O.a. 24 Sep 92 04:19:38 Subject: Re: SUBSCRIPTION UpdReq In a message dated 23 Sep 92 20:21:41, Frater O.a. wrote: FO> Got your mail...I'll get a trial issue out to you right away. 93!
