<P>
Of all the sections, this one should be the most out-of-date and incomplete. 
Essentially this section will be all the "Electronic Magazines" or "E-Zines"
that started out on BBSes and spread to the Internet. 
<P>
Instead of losing individual textfiles in the sea of BBSes, many writers chose
instead to move to the "Magazine" model, where they would band together 
textfiles and release them as a group. This strengthened the chances of the
files surviving and also made for impressive file sizes, a sign of quality
to people browsing sites.
<P>
I defer a lot of my knowledge about post 1992 e-zines to
<A HREF="mailto:mogel@textfiles.com">mogel</A>, who has been a central pillar
of electronic magazines since just beyond that time, and who runs a companion
site to textfiles.com called 
<A HREF="http://scene.textfiles.com">scene.textfiles.com</A>. Mogel's comments
will augment and sometimes replace mine in the descriptions of the different
magazines below.
