Has become a tradition to open this
My appeal to the people section. Yes, citizens of the readers,
something you are not very active, especially in his native
town of Rybinsk. Though, probably, programmers per capita in
Rybinsk largest number. Therefore, probably no one itches do
something. All of a steep believe (Rather or very steep, or
think that they have nick). Citizens of readers, we
even for someone working? For myself chtoli? Is it hard to sit
down and drop a line a couple of lines like "... the whole
edition - lamer, nefig not know how. That must be so de lat ...
"Do you think we have to not heed your advice?" I also have a
question for readers: what do you think is it easy to do in the
provincial town of Computer magazine? Who thinks that it is
easy to let Try it yourself and not two, not three rooms, and
at least six. Yes, so that the whole
country read. Well, it was all a digression, let's start our
review new products and starinok :-).
Free Format version 8.3
Author: K. Teterin
ETC GROUP 1996
Yes, 'brother, has changed the version number and
change the number of authors, but the
program will not be harmed, but rather
even won. The most significant difference
from version 8.0, is the presence in the option Format
single line, which I am very pleased. This is a team to create
a system
sector, or rather, a switch that allows you to create or not
create the 8-th sector for TR-DOS disks. More differences from
the previous version does not. (Except for the wallpaper ...)
STEALTH MACRO ASSEMBLER-DEBUGGER
(ALASM v 2.8)
(C) ALEM
Wait ... No, not the end of the world, and
only a "very tough", according to
Stalker'a, assembler (I wonder what he
had in mind ...) If not resent
I was the author and the lads from the Ukraine, but this
product is not cool. Turn to the subject matter.
Having read reklamki in "ZX-Revue" and help'ah to
STS'am, I'm pretty much wanted to look at the latter-day
miracle, and perhaps move it to XAS'a. No miracle occurred, the
system I strongly did not like. Launching ALASM, I was hoping
to see
something cool-window, in the manner of a new assembly for
Scorpion'ov, or at least would XAS'a. Yeah ... dreams. Appeared
on the screen saver in the harsh style with Tasm'a Masm'om with
inscriptions, Make the font too looks like a Tasm'ovsky. Not
shell happiness, some would say ... Nuno, you're ever in GENS'e
written? But Okay, it's not the point. Going into the editor, I
very quickly discovered that he was like two
drops of water similar to the one that was still in
second Tasm'e. Well, nor any difference! Having decided, I
filled the program from a hundred lines proassemblyal and her
... (That's what I Owned did). For ten minutes it took to
pererugivanie with ALSAM'om about the team INCBIN. I filled the
team in full compliance with Instructions:
font INCBIN "size.fnt"
As you can see, I just wanted to download the font file. Who
knew that this ... ALASM not stomach point in the
file name (actually digests, but
Text-only format ALASM'a,
see instructions). Rename the file to me
it broke ... But there was a way out. It turns out, ALASM in a
file name support (*)!, star and the only way, in my
view extrim way I was able to download your font. In general,
the impression of ALASM'a I did not have very good ...
Well you can change the font (64-42 characters) and the
number of rows is different. Well, working with 512 K. So what?
Management is still uncomfortable. And why it was necessary to
insert title word DEBUGGER, if this is the
DEBUGGER appearance? And what we have in mind
the word STEALTH? The fact that he sits on the
pages, but in the main memory only a resident? So it was back
in TASM'e. Macros ... So it made macros in the same way as in
MASM'e, but I'm on this subject I think you might have read in
previous rooms. That's such a sad story ... But
honestly, ALASM much steeper than TASM
with Masm'om and easier to use. Very much
service functions (raskidka pages
at assembly time is only
ALASM'e).
My opinion is: ALASM like
adherents TASM'a and Masm'a and possibly
people peresevshim on ALASM with GENS'a. But
I like XAS. At work, he
(XAS) almost does everything for you (therefore
sometimes comes something like LD B, (ADDR))
and error notes. A ALASM making errors is the same as that of
TASM (and it's sad). So let us drink to the assemblers are good
and different!
Supplement ELF'a: When held
the final version of this article, we
already been ALASM 3.8, and in this regard, I
I would like to express your opinion about this
program. For a start it should be noted that
CAV Inc. it seems that bad to read the instructions ALASM: when
INCBIN in the file name is that is after the point is
file extension, so it is first and
could not download the file size.fnt. Generally,
rather, it should be attributed to the merits,
than disadvantages. Now about that
ALASM that may be on the pages
128 (or more) of memory - this is not the
same as in TASM. I PENTAGON
512, so I threw the system
page ALASM and STS on the 512th memory
and the 128th memory is completely free. By placing the text on
the 512th pages, I can get out of ALASM, work, for example, in
the ZX-WORD, and then enter in ALASM and work with the old text
is not restarting them. In general, I think,
ALASM now the most powerful assembler. Of course, it has no
such tricked interface, as in XAS or ZX-ASM, but I
completely missing and the fact that there are (more
would work with binary numbers was). So far I have found only
one glitch in ALASM 3.8 - Working with multiple drives are
normally only on the TR-DOS 5.04T (maybe higher) on my old 5.3
buggy (seems like the transition to another drive must produce
more and tune in disk).
Omega COMMANDER v 1.05
(C) HACKER GREY of OMEGA HACKERS GROUP
In this program before it even
one look at the "Commanderie. At this time
There was another attempt to make the resident boot. In the
author's description written that Sia Gizmo sits resident on
any machine with a 128-1024K memory the truth is on 128K
machine to make small improvements ... zapiralku top memory.
Yourself Commanderie "refers to a class two-pane, ie, on a
single panel drive "A", on the other, for example, "C". Options
Commanderie selected in the drop-down menu.
Frankly, to manage this Commanderie
not very comfortable: a lot of functions
raspihany and they are different menues (although
menyushek with only two functions - to the Caps
Shift + 1 and the Caps Shift + 2). Many of
"O.C." I have not worked, and what may have missed interesting.
More I say about him nothing.
Perfect Commander v1.52
(C) by James Advent
Probably many have seen PC (not
confused with the IBM PC!), so that they can compare their
experiences with mine. Frankly, PC somewhat similar to RC_128
(by RST # 7). Those who have seen what I understand, but
those who have not seen the need to believe me
on the floor. Immediately list the shortcomings of the
version, which I have. The first drawback - poor performance
with two drives on the TR-DOS 5.03. The second disadvantage -
fine print (I think, 64 characters). K sleduet advantages
include: 1) the selection of files for operations, ie
when copying from the already copied files mark is removed (the
same applies to all other operations on the files).
2) catches the eye with option "gluing"
files. Such a Commanderie not often
meet.
Actually, in RS fukntsii as hell
stuck (much more than in Jemmini),
but as they say "someone like that ..."
So, I do not like 64 characters in
line. In my opinion, it's time for the standard
to 42 characters, and then not at all good "otobrazhalki
(monitors, TV). To summarize: PC is a good thing, Custom it is
possible, although it copies the sectors at a time somewhat
less than Jemmini and built-in help, in some cases, crush
(though warned about this).
F Commander v 4.02
(C) 1993 Vadim Eremeev
(C) 1996 Max Vasilyev
I present to you FUC ..., I'm Sorry,
F-Commanderie. Why the "F"? And to no one
have guessed! Generally, you can do
one line of this boot'e, but I decided
poizvraschatsya. The first thing that catches
eyes, so that's what Commanderie strongly
looks like the interface in Instrument 2.x!
Looks like virtually everything (including icons).
Commanderie has a standard set of features. Frankly, not very
conveniently implemented control: climb
constantly arrow icon is not very
convenient. But all in all, a nice little programm,
but most likely only be made to
what to do, nothing new.
ChemneBase v 0.6
(C) ChemneSoft 16.06.96
How many good and different ... This is me
of the disk databases, rather, on the bases
data on the disks. Here's another one of the prog
class caught my eye. In fact,
Version 0.6 can be considered as beta-version of the system,
because Some functions are not implemented and quite a lot.
Greatly pleased me a description of this system
practical advice on improving the work and
joyful footnotes almost every
command is not implemented. " No, the system
really cool, (especially if all
will be done). For management, you can quickly
get used to the small font, too (?)
Now let's talk about the advantages of the system, although
everything is in such opisanii.Standartny
program instruction set of the data capture
prog, ie the new drive, the new file, etc.
New feature: edit data
Playing: the name of the disk's real name
(255 (!) Characters), what version is
Do CHEAT and AY-maintenance and much more. And this is done
simply enough. Pleased me rezhim view the catalog. The file
names are issued with a three-letter extension, and this means
that this program their files are not to be confused with
someone else (for example do not have far to go "M" in the
modules and Digital Studio Pro Tracker'a). Declared but not
implemented mode reset the entire database into a text file.
Like I said earlier, the system is very,
very good, so look for the full version (maybe even us).
We turn now to the compressors,
atmospheres, such things at 40-80. In winter, however,
run them hard. So, something I do not speak
those compressors brought it ...
MaxSoft SCREEN PACKER v 1.0
(C) 1996 MaxSoft / SPEED Co.
As you probably already knew the name implies, this
program compresses the screens about as well as ASC Crasher,
and can say a bit like ASC (for ideology). As a result of this
program will become a full relotsiruemy module that runs with
the load address and, theoretically, nothing poganyaschy.
Perhaps you are interested in the phrase about "theoretically
poganyaschy? More all - yes. It was like this: I packed eq
wounds usually ASC Crasher'om ... And so, when
the fifth number to be released, I had to do the menu (almost
entirely). I normally packed picture ASC'om and
then I grasped bummer! Once everything was normal, but when
re-extracting spoiled the table, and the cursor to the left
edrene hair dryer. Remembering that somewhere on your disks
with "novem" was even a compressor with the parameters I need,
I found MSP. Screen it stings a little bit worse than the ASC
Crasher, but no bugs (I was about five times
repackages this "Predator'a" ASC'om and
each time it was the same). So now there is an alternative to
the old days the ASC and sin she did not enjoy.
We finished talking about compressors
small comparing different code compressors. Comparison, frankly,
complete. Compress the code file
length of 31,828 bytes. The file structure was
heterogeneous. In it were: the screen
uzhaty ASC Crasher'om, sprites, tables
and code (the code was the least). All this
was well mixed in razultate
obtained the following data:
file name length of time
Compressor
PACK 2.2B 17,664 less than a minute
LZSS NEW
(ASC LZPACK) 16,543 more than a minute
LZH PACKER * 1 13 855 more than a minute
LZH PACKER * 2 14 147 longer than LZH P * 1
TRUSH 12,355 more than 5 minutes
KSA LZSS
(C.C.) okolo 13 144 minutes
DSQ-4 12 145 more than 30 minutes
MS-Pack 12563 for more than 10 minutes
As can be seen from this table, cooler
all tucked TRUSH. But I stopped in the end for MS-PACK'e.
"Why?" - Tells user, who had not seen MS-PACK. Because that
MS-PACK'a most convenient, in my look, interface, and it does
not scare anyone obscure messages while driving is about the
size of windows or similar, and thus quite cool packs.
At the time of this writing has not yet
had PCD (by KSA), and he can make
compete with DSQ-4 and MS-PACK.
SpriteLand v 1.9
(C) by Flying / Digital Reality
What can I say about this program?
Cool! No, really cool. Of all
spraytodrateley, this is really steep.
And then it just does not (no generation mode mask for sprite)!
Why no one has not yet made a complete editor
sprites with these features? Each
distorted as it may, as a result of
we have a bunch of "kusalok" sprites and only
a worthwhile sprite editor, I think
1992. That's me to the fact that I rarely
ART Studio sprites draw, I am more
SPRITE Editor'om use ... Well,
we digress from the topic. So, you've drawn the sprites in the
ART Studio, Artist (I / II) or chalk on the pavement (:-)) and
you think as it is a disgrace to drive into the cultural
block for future use. The best (except one case) the choice may
be SpriteLand. He removes the sprite
rows, columns, and familiarity (for fans all over print RST #
10), attributes and not to generate a sequence of mask / sprite
(byte mask byte sprite), make rolling sprite on 1,2,4
piskela (needed for fast graphics). There is a possibility of
both manual and automatic taking pictures of sprites and masks.
Previous sprites observed. In general, many What navorocheno
and quite well done. There are detailed instructions that
only adds to the weight program. Look for
SpriteLand, but better to order it from us (it would be better
for all).
Independent FARAON (STEEVIS) Music Bank
version 1.01
(C) 1996-QUEEN-Software Inc.
Here is one more feature-rich player was born. He looks
normal (mode indicators, scrolling, window under the info on
Mouzon, etc.), but does not work very much. No, he certainly
plays all types of compiled files that are declared and
determine their correct (Almost). But the files ASM v 1.11 y me
he did not identified, not all Sound Tracker'ovskie
files too, and the rest all right.
And a lot of types: ASM (v 1.12),
Pro Tracker 2.xx, Sound Tracker'y and even
Super Sonic :-). More about the player
nothing to say. Player he was in Africa Player.
And now present to you something terrible. Snimalku
Microprotector'a! According to the author - krutennnnnnnuyu
....
AntiMicroprotector v 1.00
(C) 1995 Alexander Korolew
As the author writes this stuff: "Hold on,
protection, we have arrived "or something like that.
And protection, to be honest, to spit on this
snimalku. I do not know against what version
Microprotector'a snimalka writing this, but
Logically, it should have been removed version 2.02 1994.
Snimalka together with the author screwed up! And how many
ostentation was in the info, type "SHRSoft, you can
throw out your computer, I de, your Microprotector one left
...". And at this time our city goes either three, or four
snimalki who really do the authors of their curves are not # $%
Xia. And snimalki remove more than one version, at least
three, or even more. Therefore, I can give
Board namesake (even then bananas
I will cast): "Only deal with issues not build ourselves out of
a steep, always there is a man or woman you cooler. "And
before you say that the MP's time to throw away the dustbin of
history, to do anything chtoto the same useful and reliable
(most protected disc can not be restored, and the disk, closed
MP, you can!) I hope this rebuttal will benefit
all.
And now to introduce you to the program, an analogue which
was not on the Speccy. It appeared I had quite a long time, but
as the arms did not reach ...
Disk Level
(C) John Doe
The largest gripe TR-DOS'u have pishishuschih (depicting)
the user calls limit of 128 files on disk. With this
restriction is removed applets. Ie in the presence of short
piles of files and a large empty space, you can use Disk
Level'om and write on the same disc is 126 files. Why so much?
Because it creates DL file, which stores information about the
directory. I want to immediately draw the attention of people
rushed to look for DL and Counting work with both
directories. Disc treated with Disk Level'om can be considered
archival. In the second directory (formed after the command
Level on) you can safely write, erase and compaction (except
File RETURN.R), but costs you only make the command MOVE for
remote files in the first catalog (Level off), then after the
transition transition in the second directory, you can not
again to recover the first (I do not
failed). In general, the program can be used, the main thing to
remember about the above.
And now I will tell about the new (?), In
Anyway, a little-known editor
for the Speccy. He caught my eye in
fifth ZX-Format'e, and then appeared
full (?) version.
MicroEditor
(C) Yuri Kovalevsky
The first thing that catches your eye when zagruzke
editor, is its similarity on Tasword or TLW. But this,
according to the greater account, such as spit. So much so that
the description says that in this package
have the ability to print text with illustrations. But I'm
trying out this function I could not, not on anything.
Opportunities for editing torus in bulk, much more than the ZX
Word'a and even more so than Khokhlovskiy editor. Here and
formatting, and a calculator, and bookmarks, and check for
transfer under Formatting and AutoFormat for
editing. Well, everything does, just
not singing and dancing. Nalazavshis of descriptive text and a
little defiled the author for not really a convenient way to
work with the disk (I once more to the window, as in the ZX
Word'e 2.xx used), I decided to upload
the article in the MED and append it to him.
Go to download anything failed. And not even because of the
expansion (especially since MED reads the files with any
extension), and because of that file was not in a format that
was used MED. That's really what I never expected it from
Kovalevsky - so is that in a text editor will own format! "What
sort of format could be an ordinary (ASCII) file?" - you may
ask. But this - I will say I. Usually at the end of the line
put the code # 0A, # 0D, or # 0D, and this is the World
standard, and in MED'e (not to be confused with honey,
are two different product) code end of the line
# 09! The same vaaasche! None of this printer will not
understand. True want to point out that MED has issued a board
with a request konvertanut text. What spurred me on some
searches that were unsuccessful. In MED'e by pressing EDIT + X
found out I need a team. List of proposed format impressed me.
Emerged only Nah question # RA had to do not like people
(Still # 09 - is that something is not right)? In conclusion, I
can say that MED - powerful word processor (see the difference:
ZX WORD only editor), but that he has such a text format I do
not Like totally, and do not really like the disk menu and
control (and the Replica not like it - do not use "I
I say "but I do not use"). I hope that
Kovalevsky sees this article and listen.
May Be My Bank v 5.1
(C) Atlantic Group
I want to bring to your attention yet
Player one universal thing that is
in the world. What separates this player from
IFMB, so it's normal playback
ASM'ovskih 0.hh Mouzon on the version, as well as "quick" listen
melody. Of all the players I've seen -
this is the most easy to use (at least
the case for me). Control is only five buttons and a joystick,
everything is clear and cool. In this player turned out to be a
function that greatly amused me - namely, brute force files for
search for music. When the disc is made
now fashionable mode, dragged to an Amiga, and
namely: avtodetektsiya disc (an operation in
general, simple). Generally, in recently
time on the Speccy drag everything that came with
other platforms. Demos more like
some effects on the Amiga demos 1993
year, with sistemkami generally features a leg break: the
Amiga, and IBM. What if tomorrow someone any idea with MAC'a
Stribro, I no longer surprised. And as for this player,
he liked me more than MAFIAzny.
FLOPPY FORMAT UTILITY v 1.00
(C) Ivan Roshchin
That's another peretyag with our
enemy - IBM PC. The program itself
rather pretty, with ample opportunities for disk drives for both
TR-DOS'a, and for MS-DOS and iS-DOS. There are a lot of formats
for each system (All valid). Generally, there is one
funny, I've long wanted to say
world. All the PC, on which I worked (XT, AT
286, AT 386SX, AT 486DX) formatted
Drives DS / DD is much slower than it did Spectrum (MS-DOS
disks). Which implies that the IBM PC ..... (Instead of the
points put the right English word out of four letters). This I
mean, if you itch to format the drive, that way, twenty (or
five), it is better to done at the Speccy (if the disks DS /
DD). A that the reliability of these drives ...
If you drive, not the f @ # $ for the drive, then everything
will be OK (I MiniDisk at 720 k has lived for almost two years
under continuous use on both machines (Speccy and PC), and
while I'm at it do not complain). Yes, something I digress, but
it was in the case. FFU - a good thing, there is a description
(but to him I have a gripe - I I do not know what to do garbage
shell descriptions, but in the end lost to an unknown
direction. What is a Help without end?
This is a eunuch). We were pleased with several
Context sensitive help. So, guys,
use on health and do not format
drives on the IBM PC.
We conclude, we review programs from year
1994 (?). I long to examine it, but
First there was the time, then desire
then ...
Afrodita v 3.0
(C) Alexei Evdokimov
This program, like the Free Forma'ty
designed to format disks
arbitrary manner. But this is only one
of the functions of the program. She also
copies in the light of the format (order
which is included in its operating tables).
There is a disk doctor, editing
parameters, etc. When you format you can enable / disable error
correction. It is possible to store data on
disk file. The program is navorochena, but I still do not quite
understand the meaning of some numbers in the mode of editing
pattern, and why not always listening data from the pattern to
handle, but this is easily remedied. Importantly, this program,
you can try to use it. I tried to recreate for the interest
distribution format Disk ZX-Format'a (let the guys from XL
DESIGN for me not to take offense, it was
only experiment). Afrodit'a famously read data from disk (Load
pattern). When watching could see what great
data is written about one of the sectors.
When I try to format on these data, another drive, tried
Afrodita'a correct data on the sector (natural, not like I
needed). If you try again with the already disabled
adjusted externally everything went smoothly, even
data on the sector were almost identical, as in
distribution, but the length of the sector, it is not
able to recreate. The moral: a fancy copier is good, and fly
program from the authors even better!
While this article was written in my eyes
caught a few more sistemok true
some of them were described in the journals "OBERON"
and "SPECTROPHOBY", but as they say, is
been there, and we're here ...
Digital Studio PLAYER v 1.0
(C) 1996 Kvant Soft
Finally, although some people thought of the player to
make the compiled Digital'a modules. Can one say about
this program - works, ie plays.
There is a description (help). And frankly,
I do not keep in his compiled Mouzon
DS, much smaller store song'i.
More about this prog have nothing to say.
ProTracker Player v1.10
(C) Alex Norman / Sliders group
The main feature of this
player is to work with blocks. Not to
concrete, or even what, and with blocks
ProTracker'ovskih Mouzon. Gruzanut much more convenient to the
player unit and listen to him, no climbing on the disc. Now, if
done
versatile player who could pachit
in blocks and ASM'ovskie Mouzon, and Sound
Tracker'ovskie, and even what there is - this
would be cool. To join in Mouzon
block is used utility ST BLOCKMAKER.
UNRECOGNIZED FORMATTING OBJECT V1.01
(C) A. Korolev Stars of Keladan
So there is another program
designed to solve the problem of replication, and
also restoringa and formatinga. A simpler
speaking, another fuck ..., sorry, track
kopirovshik. What distinguishes it from the pile of similar, so
it is possible to specify from which to track a copy (or
rather, I something I do not remember any more in one such
possibility). Copyist could copy the disks MS-DOS, iS-DOS and
TR-DOS, a Also compatible with its structure (eg
something like ASM DOS). There are a lot of options
etc. The only thing that I did not like
moose in it (and it outweighed all the good qualities), so it
is that in the regime copy from one drive (one he's
me, what is there to do) happen
Read on track. That is: consider the source track disc,
recorded on the destination disk, once considered the source
drive and so on ... That is such a thing is absolutely no good,
better MCOPY old copy (and better Next Copy).
ZX-WinWord v 1.0
(Oberon creative pack)
(C) Paul Atrides / Stars of Keladan
As you probably guessed from the title - this is another
text editor. By design it is very similar to Khokhlovskiy
editor (ZX / IBM Text Editor). But it is only for decoration.
As stated in the dock, the enclosed to the editor, under the
text assigned to 49 kilobytes, and in addition
have thirty (!) a kilo at the schedule (!)
Works sort of thing, of course, only
128-x machines. Unlike MicroEditor'a in WinWord'e graphics and
text simultaneously present on the screen that quite cool. Yes,
add to this font 6 * 8 (42 characters per line) and you get the
editor of your dreams. You've probably already felt an urge to
get WinWord? I hasten to disappoint you, not all
steeply in the editor. So, in order: brake output text to the
screen (in Khokhlovskiy editor twice as fast); end of the line
marked only code # 0D (Preferably a switch # 0D
or # 0D / # 0A (as done in Khokhlovskiy editor)); bad that you
can not choose when reading a file from a directory (as in the
ZX-WORD). That's, like, all I have noticed shortcomings after
brief use WinWord'a.
And now a few comments on
subject editors in general. Why I almost
all compare with Khokhlovskiy editor?
Yes, because almost all the articles I
I type in it. What I like it, so
This convenience and speed dialing, ie, he
receives and prints the characters with the speed with which I
click on the button (With both hands and almost blind).
All other (except ZX-Word'a, perhaps,
Writer on UKNC) did not keep me
(Meaning editors)). And as for the convenience ... The few
functions available in Editor'e Khokhlova, can someone not be
enough, but I is missing only the formatting.
ADV: A small addition on the compressors. We have never met
such a useful features, except in LZSS
NEW (ASC LZPACK) - only in it (I think)
You can download the file from, say, address
27000, and after unpacking it will be placed, for example,
24,500!
