To begin with, that this version of AC Edit released on 2
November (date within specified for the beta). Version intended
for applications to our magazine ZX-Guide # 4, but could not
fit in drive due to bloated. About this below.
While newer versions do not exist: I've been collecting
magazine wrote term papers and take tests. The next version of
see beta testers, then version will be disseminated through
ehokonferentsii ZX.SPECTRUM in FidoNet. We have to admit
that access to the Internet, I have no idea why I can not timely
deploy new versions of the website dedicated to ZX. My request
to the holders of these sites - to distribute the program to
measure the forces.
There is a special category of user - the beta testers. This
those who liked (or disliked) my editor, who
try to inform about the shortcomings of the program and express
thoughts its subject. I try to distribute new versions of ACE
among beta testers, sending them after the release of an e-mail
with UUE-file. Because nothing complicated about sending
letters for limits FIDO not, beta testers can be among
inetchikov.
The major difference in this version are from the previous
modules, or "plugins".
I did not aim to create an open architecture editor
(It would increase its size and only), but because
with 0.56 the opportunity to download the executable and
resident music files, it was easy after making some changes in
code editor to use this opportunity as a testing ground for
development of new features. In the future the most useful
features will be placed in the editor. This will happen because
I projecting a compact program, and plug-ins on the disk is
occupied more space than in the shell, because the loadable
modules inconvenient to use, because in the end, that mishmash
files on the disc prevents live peacefully.
Editor since the first version works well on computers with
48k RAM. The volume of both the edited
Text goes down to 16383 bytes. Therefore, approximately the same
length is HELP.
In the 48k memory there are about 150 bytes on the
development of the editor. Of course, this is very small. Many
useful features are not implemented for this reason. Now I'm
releasing another KBytes due to some deceleration mode 512x192.
Therefore, this is not the last version that supports 48k.
Developing, Editor fills the lower memory, and take a free page,
used for access to the Real Commander 1.9x. More precisely, it
is this page will load music. In the first place
48k users will lose their built-in help, then these
computers will be ignored.
Appears impossible now (due to lack of memory for
font) status bar, Auto text and character by character
selection. Font 4x8 will be available for download. Support
printer will be fully delivered to the plugin, because I
I still can not write good support, with no printer. For
simultaneous editing of texts will be used 03.02 driver
upper memory.
To the program included its full source code. His presence
is not means that I bring to the project in someone's hands. I
just am not afraid distribute their source code. You can see
how it works editor, and copy the successful ones, in your
opinion, the procedures in their program. Good plugin is hard
to write without source. Of course, the plugin should not call
the procedure for absolute address. But the editor has already
implemented some desired method of data processing, and easy
with minor changes in the copy module. The authors of many
programs use kernal calls standard procedures and distribute
Only kernal. But the kernal takes up too much space in RAM and
your hard drive. The problem is compounded by the fact that
there is no AC Edit standard procedures;)
Compile the source code in assembler ALASM 4.x with the
following settings: System page = # 41, Symbols page = # 43,
Disk buffer = # d200.
For a more complete acquaintance with the ideology of the
editor you have to read all the numbers Came to him publishing
AlCo News. The first 5 numbers collected in the annex to the
ZX-Guide # 4 for they gained eternity;)
