Hello dear All!
Here at last I met and wrote his second article in
everybody's favorite magazine ZX POWER, with than themselves of
course and I congratulate you. Whitelist is worth mentioning
that if today I'll write something that is not appropriate
moral traditions of our society suffering, I ask especially me
this is not to blame since the time of writing
article on my favorite and the only clock in blue on black
burning time of 00:47, and also
just finished night alumni, and I certainly hope that everyone
reading this the product of my naughty
Hand and buzzing sounds of marine
head will understand me completely and
completely ;-).
So here's what I would like you
today in this wonderful evening
tell such an interesting and
Perky, that you do not fall asleep
Still in front of your screen
Loved monitors. This course
same will apply to continue
my work on the idea of Speccy +

currently frosty day ...
About the idea of connecting the modem I think talking to
Last time, namely in the first
room of the same ZX POWER'a.
There was the same in a few words said about the terminal
program, which was written, and written up to some certain
point will be written by your humble servant. Here I am this
issue and would like to Finally submit demo
of creation. Immediately I will say that if something is
present in the full version does not work in the demo, you
should not immediately try to load the STS or press the button
on the Scorpion, in the hope of correct position. Just these
parts were not included in object code at compile time and
here you have them hardly find in
sober.
Briefly describe the features
Full Version:
- Work in advanced mode
graphics 512 points in a row, the scheme which may be included
in the second issue, support the normal mode is not
done for one simple reason - if you already had the pleasure of
working in 256 pixels per line (64 characters), then
you will immediately understand everything, and if
No, you still have time to try ...

ANSI sequences, completeness of implementation is limited
only the possibility of the platform;

and it suffices to choose only the type of
protocol (X or Y);
- File transfer window appears with a list of all files
on the drive with a possible three-letter extension (two
characters extensions are in place
unused in many cases the starting address), and in

wish them luck, and advised
as soon as possible to purchase a modem (if
you have not already done so) and enjoy every day from work

modemizirovannymi friends. After all, much easier and more
enjoyable for 20 minutes to download the file and do not spend
a lot of time, nerves and money on travel.
P.S. A few words about the other
projects ... Are now in
stage of reflection and the start of things like:
* Zip for Spectrum (archiving /
unzipping);
* Arj for Spectrum (archiving /
unzipping);
* Rar for Spectrum (unzipping);
* Ha for Spectrum (not yet
know);
* E-mail system for Spectrum (not before the next version
terminalki);
To be continued ...
