(C) MERLIN 05.04.97 [16:30]
Phew! Hello! If you read the 28 th NICRON, you probably
already aware that I was prepared for you to HELP, but I ruined
the disc with him. Tell - do not believe me: I'm on my
GRANDROMMAX'e on which is a turbo SH, formatted disk, recorded
only, without backup, the text HELP'a brought WLODEK BLACK'u
and decided to transform it from a type "W" in type "C", the
result also tried to write on my turbo - drive ...
Who tried to put such experiments - posoboleznuet who do not
tried to say: "And do not try!"
But today I climb to screw up the disk, found the text,
inscribed by hand in a directory file settings, and that the
text before you.
Keep in mind that the text you will find one inconsistency:
The first full version has already been used in 28'om NICRON'e
for of which was preparing the text below. I left him without
changes.

Big hello to all! I was asked to write to you more - more
HELP to reader, as it's enough - yet ponapichkana all sorts -
different tricks - dryuchkami.
Well, firstly: ALL EXISTING AT PRESENT VERSION - BETA! Before
you - The first full version. Issue buggy beta - version due
the fact that the guys wanted to get a new reader is already
the anniversary, 25 rooms.
Thus, the list of bugs: 25 - improper printing of images, non
Vilna output to a printer, an abnormal install the
printer driver glitches with flowers at the
beginning of the text. By the way, color curves glitches in it
entirely on our - my and the editorial board of
conscience, they are wrong races set the color, but I forgot to
warn about Some features that distinguish my
reading room of the same. You just have to give them
time, let people get used to!
26 - abnormal function key "B"
plus all the above listed. By the way, of
responsibility for this lies RUSSOS, which in ry this issue
nakarkal that des Cach, the removal of one leads to Gluck
the appearance of another, more serious. Dokar kalsya.
Speed up loading, missing "B" ;-).
27 - INTRO plus the same glitches that in 25
except for proper installation
printer driver.
In fact, many complained about the slow speed, I was wondering
thought, and decided that probably will try to speed it up
(there are ideas).
And now a little HELP'a:
In the reader there are two control buttons, which lacked
place in the built HELP'e. Eto CAPS + "A" and CAPS + "Q". What
they do figure it out.
"W", "S", "FIRE" - smooth scrolling: off color (for pre
dotvrascheniya kleshinga attributes and gently stretch those
QSC with a click. Click can be disabled by turning off the
sound. Output is done by pressing any * nd klavifi (keep in
note: survey keyboard is scrolling through 8 on
pixel, so you may have to press a bit - a little
hold).
"DELETE" - Recording settings to disk: this is completely
analogous same function ONLINE'ovskoy reading room and is
compatible with it. When start NICRON'a from the disk,
"processed" ONLINE, switch off chitsya proyzoydut color and
other settings accordingly that state, which was ONLINE
when recording. When a start-up disk with ONLINE treated ORCA
Viewer (for those where you are now reading this) also has
no problems, except: in hiding ONLINE bug - if the ship
state with the brightness turned black - white
(Press "t"), then ONLINE will include more and flashing
lights.
"GRAPH" - recording charts to disk: write to disk graphical
cue file in a format in which it uses the reader. To use
the conversion program "DECOD_SC". Not tell you where like,
but WLODEK BLACK'a RABBIT BBS on it there really is.
"TRUE VIDEO" and "INV VIDEO" - printing the entire text or
only visible on the screen of the printer. If you're lucky
owner ZX LPRINT III INTERFACE, then you do not to bother with
the driver, but if not - please accept my sobo leznovaniya:
write a printer driver does not exceed 50 bytes so that the
first two bytes contain the JR INIT, followed by the driver
itself. Here's an example embedded Driver:
DR_IN JR INIT
DR_PR PUSH AF
LOOP IN A, (# 7B) <
BIT 7, A
JR NZ, LOOP
POP AF printing
OUT (# FB), A>
NOP bytes
OUT (# 7B), A
NOP
OUT (# FB), A
RET
INIT XOR A
RET printer
For accidents that do not have the printer, I suggest NADI
write a simple pseudo-driver, like this: DR_IN RET
NOP
DR_PR RET
for the insurance of dependence for random keystrokes
"INV VIDEO" and "TRUE VIDEO". Codes are written driver
on the disc under the name "ORCADRVR" CODE.
"I" - the inversion. For those who do not like to read white
on black and black and white, just like any normal printing
of induction. It swaps the only black and white, others she
did not touch them.
"Y" - initially conceived for a normal question vozmovnosti
Motrya text in reverse mode, but later estimated by dignity
and built and not the inverse mode. Useful at work, for
example, with the modulator. Due to the monitor, I burned Sheha
with him and work and trust, often could not read more than
half of the edition in API'evs Coy reader.
Well, sort of, and everything else should be clear if there
will be questions, call me, or better not to me, as a technical
editor newspapers - WLODEK BLACK'u, or better yet - write it on
the BBS. ;-)
I quite forgot to tell you that up to 28 NICRON'a errors
crept into them: they are looking for loadable driver on
another name climb up to redress the disk-doctor (I recommend
the MASTER KEY, but someone more like Pleischner, it is not
critical) in the first Sector NICRONxx file and change the
sequence of "ORKADRVRC" on "ORCADRVRC", just do not do it in 25
NICRON'e, but it is not be able to run it from the disk on
which there is loadable driver. In the other rooms (26,27,28) -
boldly change.
YET!
