Now that readers have decided to talk about the iS-DOSe
(ON-LINE 18 and 19) allow to express their views on the matter.
Especially, do not Recently I bought a "profiles", and then CP
/ M has something in common with the infamous iS-DOSom.
I'm not going to talk about "WAREHOUSE" e, modem support,
and similar bredyatine. As for the editor ... Many of his
praise ... Well, I do not know. I have seen and iS-DOS Editor
and "WRITE SYSTEM" on CP / M. Yes, really powerful, but ZXWord
2.5 + as it sweeter. Probably, if I need to format the text,
say, or to connect two of the text so that one was located in
the left column, and the other on the right, I'll use one of
these editors, but for normal text writing, I certainly would
not consider ZXWord - almost instantaneous load (and load editor
I have very often), the brilliant simplicity of management,
yes, and bugs all the familiar, which is also important.
About PICASSO can say one thing - yeah Who needs it?!
Its main advantage is the ability to create images larger than
the screen. Well, if someone really needed a picture and he was
able to write a procedure to use it in their program, so create
it by using the same "ART STUDIO" he is not difficult.
No, I'm not against these and other programs, and certainly
not I think that all genius is already written. But allow me to
do to create steep text or image, or, if already on
that matter, the music editors so necessary to create
new disk storage systems. Why, in fact, fuss? What does DOS has
to SOFTu? That, when using the iS-DOSa Our SPECTRUMa memory
itself or the rate increases CPU?
We have a TR-DOS, and how many would have had no glitches
and inconveniences, but I am sure that they have and will be
much less than that any other disk system! Although, if only
because a TR-DOS written a huge number of programs that allow
these same inconvenience to crawl. And anyway, who needs to
SPECTRUMe any there windows, subdirectories, and the rest
labuden so bindaskapil users on other platforms. In principle,
I do not mind the "windows", it's beautiful, but really the
system of subdirectories can compensate for a flawed, in my
opinion, the system heap any loadable driver, COM files, and
the rest of the nightmare. SPECTRUM and good its brilliant
simplicity! No need to convert "SPECCY" at IBM, think of BC,
corvettes, SEARCH, and about where they now find themselves! If
someone pulls on the IBM, and SPECTRUM he bought "on time"
"From a lack of funds", that is their problem ... Yes there to
argue: the very fact that no one wants to write programs for
iS-DOS, already said that the system is not supported by
programmer people and, therefore, doomed to extinction and the
end of the bazaar!

One of the rooms of the newspaper, I wrote a few lines of
brilliant programming tools - turboassembler MASM. So I was
literally bombarded with questions about this. For a start, I
would like to point out that I MASM to create 128 by any side
is not cling and, especially, the master of his'm not.
Therefore, I Several expressed surprise me a complaint about
incorrect operation is not known how did you obtain RAW
versions of the assembler. Wait for the official version (and
it already occurred), then catch the bugs. And with them, not
me, but to the authors. By the way, about the glitches. I
nearly fell off the chair (or rather, a little out of the chair
falling out) when I said that MASM does not handles command
DEFM! Try, nevertheless, to answer: correct, not process. And
why should he (MASMu) is necessary. It is enough that the team
DEFB expanded! So if you type: DEFB 1, # 02, "We must think",%
10101010 - This line will be compiled absolutely correct! The
same thing happened in TASM 128. If You do not know, it is
interesting, but what you actually do in MASMe? There are no
pictures ...

Until I heard rumors that someone sent me a pile of materials
for print, but I do not want to print them. Well, I do not know
... If so I refuse to print anything (for example, an article
on incorrect work of the new processor for IBM), then honestly
say to the author: I'm sorry, they say, but you're not at that
address requested ... If some stuff is really lost in the
network (or in my drives) please: call me or one of the editors
personally.

Read LIME TREE N 9. Well told you-I, it was cool
Newspaper!
I liked the article about the telephone.
Would be desirable to add that it is quite natural. Closure
between the strands cable ...
You remember how in Moscow have failed trolleybus lines
because of the watered saline solutions of roads? It was at -2
° C! A that will be in the spring, when all this muck will flow
into the ground? Here even imported cables will not withstand.
So, Lord, remember my word for spring, when the telephone fins
stick together.
