Surveyed Denis Tokarchuk
Unfortunately, the last time on the Internet
Golden Max was three days ago, but not downloaded all the
letters, unfortunately. Therefore, some letters were not
included in this review: (. Never mind, they fall into the
review of the 5th room:). After all, as I said, most of the
letters is only through Internet. But also by regular mail it
two response. Okay, let's start ...
One of the first three to respond to ZXTime Nuts:
Nuts: "Write a Nuts from the city of Dzerzhinsk (Nizhny
Novgorod Region)."
Yesterday downloaded ZX-Time3, today it
read it and immediately was born a lot of thoughts,
you try to write:)
1) Appearance - Font I LIKE! This
gives a special style, if not to say -
chic. Brings only the letter "S".
I think the use of only large
letters are very comfortable - to read 64 characters
so I feel better!
A special moment I will note 6bit encoding
well that the crude through it once was in the annex. In short,
in the viewer himself can shove it going, especially if there
is no loading text. "
DWT: Nuts - the only one who liked shestibitovaya encoding. But
too late, because we have decided to use it
not only harmful to the eyes of readers, but also impractical
because text of the newspaper has not exceed 67 kilobytes, and
6bit encoding planned only as a way to save memory.
Nuts: "2) Management. The emulsion buggy
arrow keys. This bug occurs
with many prog on stealth, but if so
criticize - try to change the order of the survey, I recommend
all of Claudia (8bayt) zababahivat to clipboard (times per
interrupt) and work with him. "
DWT: Shestibitovaya encoding bent and
pulled for an entire old code. Now the code is completely
rewritten. And a poll Claudia's changed - in particular, was
hanged on interrupts.
Nuts: "3) TRIP! In the 3 rd issue of intra always loaded, but
the viewer - for example from BestView only! Probably what
vanity in printer buffer, and 128y Busick does not like -
Actually, too often ubiquitous bug. "
DWT: Maybe we could shoot this bug still in its infancy, but
... We have instead 128 th BASIC sewn Gluk ... And he does not
care that there rushes into the buffer printer ...
Nuts: "4) Multi-tasking and running! Recommend to look at my
Disk Trouble (is on Virtual TR-DOS) - as an option for
consideration.
5) Read the description here PTsshnyh utilities - and
I saw that there is a Vladimir
Zorev (Decruncher) from Nizhny Novgorod.
And I live 45 minutes from the train it,
but Spekovschikov in Nizhny not seen even once
(Outgoing), and the clubbers with a radio market (unsociable)
did not see long time! So nice to read "my countryman
from the Lower ....). So, if not more difficult, throw it to me
the address and / or my - Him to establish contact, stalobyt
... "
DWT: They cast the address we Nuts'u. I hope
they make contact ...
Nuts: "6) At the expense of music and graphics! We
people here have thrown out our old stock: the muse, and convert
graphics and articles. Nothing so far no one
used. So that I have something vozimel
the desire to throw you a sample of the above - can be useful
... "
DWT: Thank you, come in handy. The picture appears in the
second room (on the 5th already scored:)). But the music is
playing now.
The following letter came from Eugene Grigoriev. What
city-country, unfortunately, is not known ...
GG: "I read your newspaper I - Table of Contents
interesting, but the font encoding advise
change. From there the next ZXT
funny: she refuses to run from under DOS, though perfectly goes
under the Real Commanderie. "
DWT: encoding is changed from dos
already has to go ...
GG: "Now, at the expense of Guess the melody. This
you come up with cool, they decided to do
this game. I'm sorry I can not help you
graphics, codes, and music, as I know more than just BASIC. I
will wait appearance of this game. "
DWT: Thank you even for such moral
support.
The following letter came from Alexander
Pehimenko, all the way from Kazakhstan.
AP: "Hello, Dear Editors ZXTIME. I downloaded the third issue
of the magazine. The first thing I want to thank: Well done -
quickly and radically so. Steep curb effects, cool music. "
DWT: While reading these lines, VNN
as much kinder :-).
AP: "Now the small glitches. Newspaper in
emulsion is run once, the second time
only through usr0. On a real Spectrum
curb-saver was not in sight, at once went to a picture with
Yenakievo. Spreads to the Spectrum with AMD. And so want to
really look! May had to dig the archive - but there is no
extra time. "
DWT: The fact that the intra-to curb
effects is designed only for temporary
characteristics of the Pentagon: (. And to the owners of other
Spectrum was not observed in their colorful rubbish has been
made a "bypass".
AP: "As for the cries for help from the" Guess
melody. "I do not figure where to draw the screen saver. A draw
from memory - dreary affair. If who ever anything should
something like that threw the soap, I would perekonvertil and
(or) to finish. "
DWT: In my opinion, selling chewing gum "Guess the melody". If
we find - scan and send.
AP: "Now about the music in the newspaper. I,
For example, in Leningrad is Kovoks.
Do you have a desire to stick something
to him? "
DWT: The desire is there. Maybe in the intro to
the next number will be something like that. There are ideas.
AP: "On a multitasking operating system. I believe that
Spectrum is very, very necessary to the normal
-Tasking system. The question arises: for whom and for what
configuration computer do it? In the first place
OS needs to be done for real
Spectrum, and not for the emulator. Emulator
- He even an emulator to emulate. Now sit on the Spectrum or
the fans (well, koi dragged a little in the gland, in the codes
and have a less powerful machine), or "green" (which may
have completely different machines, except
BASIC and the game is unlikely for something to reflect, and
will compare this with the OS Windows, in what the OS is
naturally lose because of the weaker power Spectrum). Minimum
configuration: Spectrum-128, drive 5.25 ", AY, may
be Kovoks. The most advanced configuration: RAM - 4MB Cache -
32kb, Turbo mode, extended screen mode multikolor, 3.5 "drive,
hard drive, CMOSchasy, mouse, some kind of music. Map, and term
CDROM. Maximum configuration to collect real benefit schemes
missing, but rather long and complicated. Therefore will have
to stop at a certain medium variant: RAM - 512kb, advanced
screen, CMOS-clock, AY, cache - 16KB, turbo mode. "
DWT: OS must first be flexible
and universal. Universality of its
should be just as possible
its reconfiguration for any requirements - ranging from
hardware requirements, ending with specific tastes user.
AP: "A great memory is desirable that different
applications do not load every time.
Part of the OS (block initialization, the initial
download, install) should be in ROM
instead of 4-th of unused pages
the bulk to be loaded after
reading units, respectively, to either a floppy or a hard
drive. Advanced screen required - must go to the standard 80
characters in line - the cache and turbo mode desirable
various sound effects in the OS is capable of
implement and AY, and let muz.kartami involved application or
overlays. For comfortable working with the OS need a mouse, but
without it you can do. Also for multi-tasking may Spectrum
will have to remake the system interrupts.
If we take as a basis for a minimum
configuration (although maybe it most), then something powerful
and comfortable we are unlikely to create. We must move
forward and not stagnate on the spot. A
let's do a poll on what
kofiguratsii computer running the people.
DWT: OS should be, I repeat, universal. If the most competent
naveshena a lot of improvements, then they will deal with
appropriate driver. However, of course, be necessary to
determine a minimum. Assume they will machine the following
configuration: memory above 128 KB mode, the turbo cache at
least 2k. Already on the machine of this configuration
can be used for transactions,
necessary for more or less quick work as the OS, and
multitasking in it - that is, high speed information exchange,
increase speed of other procedures. And this minimum, assure,
will be enough ... At a time ... Short ... So as time goes on
and the progress fortunately, is inevitable.
AP: That all for now. If anyone knows how
turbocharged Leningrad - soap (well, not
plowing my scheme, but why not vedu).

DWT: Help spektrumistu!
The following letter came from DJ
Hooligan'a.
DJH: "Your newspaper only has a regular column on utilities and
emulators for HRC. And about internet resources no one
wrote. I've been riveted article for SE # 4 as
times - "review of Russian Spektrumresursov" and with a similar
system estimates for clearance, etc. But there was
about 20 sites. Given that it was written several months ago
(eg WOS site during this time is 2 times changed the design:)),
by the time SE # 4, all information is hopelessly outdated
and will be biased. "
But from foreign resources, I would recommend www.raww.org -
a news foreign ZX-resource, which except for news, you can
learn about the latest updates to the Spectrum site.
As for your review:
Small fonts on my site were
made of the fact that many climbed on
Internet at a resolution of 800x600 and
640x480 in our institute. But when I
was on leave in the normal network
ie from home, I realized that the standards in
This plan is much higher. In this regard,
very soon will be slightly redesigned
site in the direction of increasing the font;)
DWT: Golden Max is really more
correctly answered on the site Hooligan'a DJ and he admits it.
Read the section PC and Spectrum. "
DJH: "What can I say about the archive: Even with the creation
of my site its goal was to provide New titles Spectrum scene
than I in 1999 and studied. Also, I thought it necessary to lay
out the most needed programs, ie ArtStudio, etc.
But there is a special service in the department
orders. Ie if anyone is looking for kakuyunibud prog / game /
DeMouy but never could find, he can send me an order and there
could be, I'll look for it in their inexhaustible HDD-archives
and published on the website at discovery:) "
DWT: Just perfect. Thank you for your letter.
The next response came from RGB/P7S, from
Vinnitsa. His letter was a "paper":).
RGB :"... In regard to your newspaper - see
that went to Manka some: universal at
these newspapers. All just slander, but
high-quality material they have little. As for your newspaper -
well, some of which I even like it - article on selenite, UFOs,
etc. Yes, funny little article about the poor Leh with chicken
for x ... :-))). Conclusion - read this number (N2), I'm not
wasting time, and hence the authors of the newspaper received a
large thanks from me :-)), well and wishes to make it even
better! Well done! "
DWT: Thank you very much for the nice words
our address, it is nice.
RGB: "But there are different" informal "and they
like - cool me Kumar - a
just SUPER SHIT! And I'm very big pleasure to wipe floppies
these pieces of music. This is my opinion, nothing better do not
to write than to write such crap! "
DWT: Well ... Opinions vary. I, too,
do not like to read all the small stuff such as
Informals. These papers are, to my
view, only to make a statement about yourself -
like "we are there!" And we the coolest!
You see how we can swear!. "Generally," the taste and color -
no friend! "
The following letter came from Igor Butyrleva, the Zaporozhye
region. Letter come by regular mail ...
YB: "writing to you, your reader. Call me
Igor (Ihor). Internet access is not
I have, so I refer you to drive (I hope
he comes).
The first three numbers I've read - good
newspaper. I would like of course, that the text
chosen from the main menu, and then long
turn over to the right place, but it
still nothing. Struck one match.
4 months ago I did my paper "The White Raven." So, as soon as I
began her to do, began to collect texts and you
do not believe it - the first text I had
about those astronauts who have been toli,
toli nebyli on the moon. It was packed with about
70%, but then decided to do a sense of humor, and
The text of the moon and remained unfinished. But that's not
all, the second text that I would like to reprint, and the
sheet was lying on my desk was as again about the Loch Ness
monster, which you promised in 4 rooms. As seen your newspaper
I wanted to do and zagadachnoy mysterious, but then decided
against the background of humor, these articles are not much to
look at. "
DWT: There just are no coincidences.
Thank you for your letter.

On this and will the current review
letters. I'm very sorry, if someone does not
got here. Easy access to the Internet
gone long ago. Rather, Golden Max climbs the Internet, but
because of the limited number of babasikov (hryvnia) does not
had kidanut writing to disk: (. Well, yes nothing - in the next
issue, as promised, unpublished letters will be published ...
