Probably already it is no secret that
The lion's share coming software we
get through Fido network and regular
posting to the conference ZX.SPECTRUM. That
These applets - is no exception.

             Max Dudnikov'99

           ------------------

   Sprite editor with several new that has not been implemented
functions. As the author of this program, it is ideal for 
creating toys. The special features of the editor should 
include the original interface and a built-HELP. Drawback - the 
lack of binding in such support programs kempston-mouse.




              TEXT PRINT 1.6

             Real Software'97

           ------------------

   Probably many owners of Spectrum with the printer, having 
experienced Ever need something beautifully printed, faced

with multiple hardware and software problems. Same pechatalka in
ZX-WORD'e, has long been obsolete and outdated and does not 
provide multi-mode printing. This program, though quite old, 
but nevertheless appeared with us recently, is designed to help 
this category of users. TEXT PRINT 1.6 represents a convenient 
window on Wednesday to work with virtually any EPSON-compatible 
printer, multi-mode printing texts with the ability to easily 
customize the interface type, font, interval, fields, breakdown 
pages, sheet or roll printing text. The program supports 
embedded and downloadable driver in the standard ZX-WORD'a. 
Convenient and intuitive interface of this tool will allow you 
to turn it into a reliable tool for everyday work.

will certainly find its users, particularly if consider good 
design, and of good appearance. There is a built-in HELP.




               OPERATION OIL

           Alexoft 'Berseker'99

         ------------------------

   It seems that Laura's "Black Crow" do not give rest to some
progressive coders. And such an approach can only be welcomed. 
The demo version of the real-time strategy, a good example. If 
consider only the engine, throwing ugly graphics too small 
sprites, we quite comprehensible game - a cross between "FT" 
and "Dune". Many objects are borrowed from the Bronze Glory, 
something The authors have come up with themselves, for 
example, Air Force and Navy. 

   Of course, this is only semi-finished product, which can be 
a bit indulge, but with further improvement of code and 
improving the graphics, you may have a very cool toy. Here are 
just a not decayed to the matter at the very beginning ...
