                  If you see in the sky, manholes,

                  Do not be scared - it's glitches.


   Hi World! This is my first and can be
last article for the newspaper. Since I do not
Leo Tolstoy, then do not expect me to literary masterpieces 
such as "WAR AND PEACE" only for ZX-SPECTRUM 128K, and not much 
surprised inarticulate (or kosnoklaviaturnomu:)) account of my 
thoughts. After I wrote a wrapper for the newspaper STINGER 
began to bother me with proposal to write any article

in the newspaper. So I had to portray
of a writer. But then came the question:
"And about what I write an article?". After
much deliberation I decided that I can write a small 
masterpiece on the subject of glitches, and more accurately 
tell the world about which I Gluck found in some programs and 
not were still described in the ON-LINE to 56 rooms

(This last issue which I have)

   Well, the entry is completed and is now perhaps time to move 
directly to the subject of this article, I mean to bug: 

        UFO 2.10 - during the war when your fighter will be 
just above or under alien program hangs.


        ZX WORD 2.5m - the program is not possible to set small 
Russian symbols h, m, n, e, w, b for encoding YAVERTY

(Hint: type them through the mode of Command).

        MS_PACK 01.96 - not always correctly decompress the 
file. Probability of error by 15-20%.


        PCD 6.01 - more buggy compressors I have seen. 
According to the data to be received from VG normally 
skompresirovat can block length # 6500 bytes and the length of 
zapakovanogo unit should not exceed 4000 bytes # (16K). DO NOT 
use the given program RECOMMENDED!


        BETA-COMMANDER v.5.02 - as you do not want to write 
about glitches in their program but so be it write. If you have 
any errors and the appearance of the inscription: Disk error ...

after selecting Abort can happen memorization errors when you 
select Copy or Move command you all the time will receive the 
comforting inscription: Disk error ..., although the drive, you 
do not error. I have this bug occurs with a probability of 5%, 
but apparently still need to fix it (If it is not laziness.) 

        STS v.4.3 - very buggy team
COPY. Sometimes it works fine (very
rare), and often resets the machine.
It all depends on how, where and how many bytes you've decided 
to copy. 

        CONVER COMMANDER 4.50 beta vers. -
sometimes likes to break the format of the track or
simply remove the information on a couple of sectors.

        C-DOS - as someone wrote in ONLINE: "C-DOS - it is one 
big glitch." I describe here only two Gluck - one fatality, the 
second - funny. So the first bug: in mode VIEW, SECRET FILES 
and even in a couple of mouse you can drive up and

down the computer's memory, including the screen,
BASIC AC and TR-DOS'a himself C-DOS.
And if there's something to try to collect nubud
a C-DOS can you say C-DOSvidaniya.
And the second bug: if the call to the server and
mark files in its directory, and then
choose TRANSMIT, then the data files
not written to your drive, and the server
ie they are duplicated.


   Well, that got me this crap. Three o'clock
typed, and can be read in three minutes.

   BYE!
