(C) NEXT-STOP
ANOTHER BIRTH
Now, when everything is persistently repeated, that the
Spectrum is dying, and the number of fans INTERNET'a approaches
the number of Spectrum Fan:) a couple of years ago,
Spectrum acquired in ordinary life in a network
INTERNET. That's what I am now a little bit and
tell. On the Net several years ago began to emerge whole page
devoted to the most popular, most beloved of home computers.
First it was a modest informational sections, but after some
time they were transformed and multiplied, now their number and
the quality is shocking. In the INTERNET Now you can find
almost any program that virtually any emulator for the ZX any
platform, any utility. Very pleased that our domestic fans are
not left behind, and often among the branded program skips and
domestic developments ...
Currently, the software market for the Spectrum appeared
many programs with notes "Restoring
from Internet ". This can only be welcomed. For how much more
enjoyable to play din with a beautiful screen saver, animated
scenes and all reloading. A many afflictions brought in the
past, these "Castrated" multifeysnye vzlomki,
where instead of screen saver - the menu and music, and
additional levels of non-existent. : ( Now, all quite
different. Conventional, unremarkable in the past the program
flourish with new colors and pat servants great music and cool
effects. And where is the charge these programs? For starters,
if you are connected to the INTERNET, please try to visit our
domestic pages devoted to Spectrum. You can certainly get into
the same ALTA-VISTA, and type in the box SEARCH familiar shaped
as letters ZX-Spectrum. Just do not faint, got in the box
KOLICHESSTVO "five-digit number, where the first of figures are
not one. For a start must something simpler (if
you are not the first year online, the more you can do not to
read, feel free to click the "E" new you do not know, but maybe
it's worth and read ...) First, try to climb
on this page:
http://zx-museum.org.ru/ZXlinks.html
This page is a launching pad for trips to other sites in all
parts of the world. Here, collected dozens of addresses in
England, Germany, Russia, Norway, Holland, Poland, America and
even Africa. By the way, one FTP from South Africa (!!!), I
found some interesting programs ... In order to get to one of
the sites need only to click myshoy on its name, and you're in
another country. In general, I I recommend finding one of the
following address and going there (and incidentally, it already
depends on you - for what purpose you climbed
in the INTERNET). If you are interested in the program, it is
better to choose some FTP and Dig it. We'll discuss this in
more detail. For an example, two of them:
ftp://ftp.gui.uva.es/pub/sinclair/
ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/sinclair/
After waiting a while (it depends on
subjective reasons), we find ourselves in a sea of programs
and information Spectrum. I am sure that Your eyes gaze at the
following picture: (My comments, date and time taken from
lantern ...)

Going into any of the above
directory, you'll find subdirectories in
which is not difficult to understand. :)
All programs are sorted alphabetically
or by type of protection, and on some topics:
demos adventyury etc. Sorting occurs by Manufacturer. In short,
the necessary program or utility could be found without much
trouble (most importantly, to my eyes not run) ...
About this directory structure of most (emphasize most)
FTP - country nichek on the Spectrum. Catalogs can be changed,
but the basic structure will remain. I would also like to say
that almost all the software, which lies on these pages is
SHAREWARE, that is a nonprofit, so shake your health!

download exactly what you need. Information about sites and
storage formats of programs for the Spectrum in the INTERNET,
we will talk next time. Also in the plans of a purely
informative articles about the attempts to hack INTERNET and
