Gluck

someone to the electronic edition. Nevertheless, in my vzgyad
she bydet useful "Optocouplers" for several sobrazheniyam:
- Why open finally arrived drygim known,
wasting precious time and money. Agree, unpleasant after a few
hours with the new program yznat that dealer service tools for
kotoryyu was assigned as hope works not quite correct (if
Too bad not say yet :-)), and only
a reward for your work bydet disappointment and a few epithets
to the author;
- People who know the code yourself smogyt "finish"
programmy, rather than wait until the grace of God shall come
over as a new "Corrected" version.
Today I hochy zatronyt very aktyalnyyu temy for our region -
the software for organizing modem network. It's about CDOS
v1.32, courtesy of programmers from Belarus. First of all,
hochy noted the positive aspects of the program - setting for
the different types of machines (split / total memory field),
the correct management HISTORY, ny and most importantly -
individyalnaya password e-mail system and a built-ZXWORD.
And now for the glitches. The most "innocent" glitch
This software - a field phone number
(You) must be completely filled out.
If your city's phone number consists of 5 (6) digits, then all
non-significant bits must be filled (but not spaces). Otherwise
slychae (if BBS enabled SELECT USER) you are constantly
bydete They take joy notification of the
that the honor list, BBS users
you have not noticed.
The second unpleasant moment in dvyh words and
can not explain. Dopystim, calls the user on the BBS. The
program reads from the disk A file MEMWR, determines that the
subscriber "a" and allows raboty. Member for joy download
directory on drive B and a few dozen sekynd probyet note all
the interesting files, for which he punishes BBS poveshaniem
its trybki (in instryktsii ykazano, 90 sekynd in practice So
why is something much less). Povtorno burst on BBS, the user
achieves what CDOS again reads MEMWR (Disk A) ystanavlivaet
tekyschy drive A, and merges nothing podozrevayuschemy user
files with the names of the disk in, but with "Stuffing" drive
A. I hope it is not necessary explain what the final reward for
bydet.
To combat this scourge mogy offer one of the options - read
MEMWR only once and keep a copy in the memory (of course this
is only possible after completion of the program).
Next. If the secret files hosted y
you do not have the "system" drive, then there is a very
greater likelihood that they will quickly
lose their sektretnost, as this
So why a regime pertains only to the
one disc.
It was also ydivlenie work with gryzynom in the embedded
ZX-WORD'e. Virtually no odny from the menu options can not
call, yes and klaviatyry characters on the screen only after
the motion manipylyatorom, ie after changing vnytrennih
registers KEMPSTON MOUSE.
There is another bad moment in the
CDOS, although I have not just make ydalos
zakonomernots his appearance. Sometimes,
file transmission time count transmitted
sectors, changes direction and begins
ymenshatsya to nylyu. The implications of this
Gluck predict fairly trydno as
this can take place at the beginning and
mid transfer files.
In conclusion, hochy throw nebolshyyu
ideyky willing to "refine" CDOS. Catalog
transferred completely, ie all 9 sectors.
In practice, the "clogged" always on the strength of 3-4.
Predlyagayu transfer or transmit
only "employed" sector or compress any simple method.
