ENLIGHT'97: preliminary information
(C) RINDEX
Actually, I did not think to insert this article in the
newspaper. This file can be found in the conferences, which are
on the ALEX BBS. But I I see them downloading not many, but in
vain. I just have to SisOpnike many people asked how can Mouzon
and pictures from one person can demonstrate to ENLIGHT'e.
That's why I and decided to include this text in this number.
Here you will find the answers all your questions, and not only
on the Spectrum.
P.S. And it seems from Moscow ENLIGHT'97 go a lot of people.
AND this is correct!
