Good day to you all, great Surfers of the Cyberplanet! You've landed yourself up at the Web site of the Skynet Times Disk Magazine for Atari computers. It's a pleasure to see you whether you are a Skynet Times reader or not :) In case you're wondering, I'm Vogue, the editor of Skynet Times.
The idea of these online pages is to give you an idea of what the
magazine is like. If you like what you see, you can order
yourself a copy from one of our retailers or download it from the
'net. Click on the appropriate page links below to find out more!
I'll also be explaining what can be found in the magazine, and
why it is essential for any Atari owner. Let's start things with

Skynet Times was started in the latter months of 1994. It started
as a single file article in the hugely popular 'Power' diskzine.
I saw this as being a very restricted way of addressing the
outside world, so I launched Skynet Times Issue 2 as an
independant full-disk production, making use of the wonderful
Observer Menu System by Terry King as the shell.
Skynet Times has now been regularly released for well over a
year, and the reader-base has grown from issue to issue. I would
say that there is now a good proportion of the Atari community
reading it. Articles are contributed by many famous Atarians, and
we have interviewed such people as demo crews The PHF and the
Reservoir Gods, among many others.
One of the benefits for the magazine is the vast arrays of
contacts we have around the Atari world. We are regularly in
contacts with Prophecy PDL and Top Byte Software, to keep us up
to date on both the Shareware and Commercial software scenes.
Other links include the above mentioned demos crews, the Maggie
editorial team and 42BBS, to name just a few. All these contacts
enable us to bring you up to date news and reviews.
Of course, we are non-profit making. The magazine is completely
freeware. We are grateful for any contributions that are made
though, as the costs of general postage, disks and online time
all adds up!
Anyway, I hope that gave you a fair idea of the background to the
magazine! Now you can browse through the other pages to find out
more information........

Downloading Skynet Times from the 'net...
Downloading a copy of the latest issue of Skynet Times from the
Internet could not be easier, as long as you have File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) access through your Internet provider.
All issues of Skynet Times from Seven onwards can be found on a
University server in Germany, which has the URL (Uniform Resource
Locator):
ftp.uni-kl.de (don't forget the usual ftp://)
Once you have connected to this server, you have to get to the
correct directory from which to download the file. Skynet Times
is located in one these two:
pub/atari/diskmagazines
pub/atari/incoming
The files that contain Skynet Times issues will probably be
SKYNETn.ZIP, with n being the issue number. This is certainly the
case for the Issue Seven file. If the

The files that contain Skynet Times issues will probably be
SKYNETn.ZIP, with n being the issue number. This is certainly the
case for the Issue Seven file. If the filename is not in that
exact format, it will certainly be something similar for all
issues.
You will have noticed that the file has the extension ZIP. This
means that the file is an archive file that has been created with
PKZip, or a compatible archiver.
If you have no means of de-archiving ZIP files on your Atari,
don't worry! STZip, the most popular ZIP compatible archiver can
be yours by sending a DD disk and SAE (in UK only) to the
editorial address.
