   Say what you like, but all the same good thing Fido! In the 
aria ZX.SPECTRUM every day you can find something new. Here are 
downloaded from there recently freshest "OPTRON-28", almost the 
day of his appearance, and along with a number of software 
programs. I recommend to pay attention some of them:

   Another, even more fancy version of the popular computer 
test. Interviewed almost all the nodes and peripheral devices, 
including a standard set of: RAM, ROM, AY, bus data, Kempston, 
etc. Compared with previous versions, added a test card music 
GENERAL SOUND, XTR-MODEM'a and system CMOS clock scheme Gluck. 
Particularly comfortable with this program check KEMPSTON MOUSE 
- tested not only mouse itself, but also all of its three 
buttons.

   Very often there is a need, after reading some
electronic edition, reset the desired article to disk as a text 
in order to then print them on your printer. Unfortunately, far 
Not all newspapers and magazines provide such an opportunity, 
often shipped only on-screen files. You can not mention how 
much it brings the user inconvenience. This inability to 
operational Editorial unloaded file, and a large amount of 
garbage and waste paper. 

   Utility STV (SCREEN TRANSLATER UNIVERSAL) is intended to 
help users faced with a similar problem. It takes the display 
to a text file, simultaneously filtering out unnecessary 
information. Unlike some similar utilities, listening occurs 
with a high degree of confidence. For this purpose a large 
number of fonts and presets for a number of electronic 
journals, including: SPECTROFON, ZX-FORMAT, OBERON, ADVENTURE, 
and others. The user is given wide choice of selection criteria 
the text, made in the form of window menu.

   Ordinary copyist of MS-DOS in TR-DOS, with the possibility of
conversion of the formats TRD, SCL and Hobetta. Windowed 
interface is the only advantage of this utility. Otherwise, the 
copyist somewhat "awkward" when dealing with pisishnymi disks. 
There were several non-fatal glitches.
