Surveyed Denis Tokarchuk
Today, as promised, will be considered as a response to the
third and at number four ... Well. Let's go!
That's what Alexander wrote Fisun.
AF: "I recently read your new
newspaper! No he could not understand why such a small font.
Then, when I read article, I realized - for a good memory.
Well what can we say about this newspaper?
In my opinion, good design, volume
newspapers, too, what we need. Vobschem me
Newspaper liked.
But I still propose to introduce into it such
headings, which would be considered
iron and a variety of new items, both in terms of
Hardy, and software. Category in which
discussed the plans for the establishment of a softiny, or
something wrong game.
But this proposal and wishes: keep doing what you are doing.
Thank you you for the new newspaper. "
DWT: Thanks for the suggestions. On suggestions:). The fact
that the authors kakihlibo projects prefer to remain silent
about that they are preparing for the draft, did not even speak
about the genre! Apparently, people have superstitious ...
The following letter came from Oleg Cherednichenko (Vir
ExCite / Myth Corp).
RON: "You privetstvyet Dnepropetrovsk
gryppa Myth Corp. and I personally - Vir
ExCite. In recent years, widely
ykorenyaetsya view that, say,
Spektrym ymer - / A ~ echo times and
People ~ ZX.SPECTRUM byystvyyut nostalgiryyuschie
emylyatorschiki playing in ZXigry on your favorite PC ...
And so enjoyable after a separation
from spektrymnoy life yvidet horoshyyu gazety, and yes even
ykrainskyyu!
The second issue of ZX-Time has an article about
multitasking at Speke .. Hochy to announce that our gryppa
developed OS cooperative multitasking, even with
multiple windows. In this system really poyuzat many good global
ideas. In addition to this, laid down some
prerequisites for perspektivy ~ ~ - posledyyuschego for
development ... "
System dokymentatsiya and a few small programs in their time
were put into ZX.SPECTRUM. Alas and yvy - vvidy weak reaction
of the public project MythOS now frozen.
But at least for myself, we have learned from the project
polzy MythOS, have revised their views on osestroenie, gained
valuable experience ... "
DWT: I heard something about this OS, but
myself, to my shame, never saw her again. However, the cause of
its failure, in my opinion, lies in the weak "promotion".
After all, was not written about it in any
newspaper or magazine ...
RON: "Personally, I have also developed a pilot for the
spectrum of YAP working title Coloss \ U. Language
zadymyvalsya as part mashinnonezavisimy. Advantages: modylnost,
the highest efficiency, using the native language (as long as
the assembler and Forth). The relics will add yazyky modern
ideas: invariance contexts. There are some outlines of the
implementation of object-oriented ... "
DWT: Still, no one I am infected by such
ideas. Hurray:)
RON: "There is a print publication - beloryssky zhyrnal ~
Radiomir. Your Computer ~ (formerly known as
Radioamateur). Was once more than half
zhyrnala was devoted to eight-
platforms, and most of all - ZX! So
Here ... They have now more than ever with tygo
good articles. Our gryppa sotrydnichaet with the editors, but
would like to turn the pages of ZX-Time: Gentlemen
coders! Help with the materials! E-mail
zhyrnala "Radiomir" - <rl@radiopage.by>. "
DWT: People! Help the magazine!
RON: A ZX-Time - pylit "Very, very
remarkable in that it has information
and for coders (generally a rarity in newspapers). Elegant
myzaki. Disadvantages - fine print (might be worth still make
51 symbol / page?) and the inability to vygryzit of shell text
articles file (it is - a big disadvantage.
I appeal to your conscience: ny as
I otgryzit ponravivshyyusya article to print it? After all, it
is not even in the ASCII :-().
We wish you continued creative yspehov in this project and
drygih =) "
DWT: Thank you very much for your letter!
The following letter came from Maxim Letts (Maxony). Piece of
writing devoted to OS published in the "Discussion" and
part - here.
LM: "What can I say about the ZX-Time # 4 ...

DWT: Well, thanks for the "positive developments". We used to
have it bad? AND Music Khrenova been? ..

DWT: I'll tell what costs
Internet to us. The road to Gorlovka (or
Center Yenakievo) at one end - 0.75 UAH.
per person, one hour in the I-nete - from 3 to
5 UAH. (Usually 4.50 UAH per hour) plus
way back. Total: 0.75 +0.75 +4.50 =
6 hryvnia. Still worth considering that the time
free us quite a bit - basically, to "visit the Internet," we
are spending the weekend, but very few of them ... Here this
arithmetic: (.
LM :"... Well, just DO NOT like it when the finger vysosanye

DWT: Hmm ...
LM: "In the rest of vsem vpechatlenie DO NOT

DWT: Shaw? Again?

DWT: Sure it up! Read the "Discussion" ...
The following letter came from Nuts'a ...
N: "Yes, the newspaper was full of trite: (
Listalka seemed awfully fast
because they ran under Shalaev (scroll
32LDI - as I understood, but pechatalka what?). Design - is
also quite trivial and important - too bright: not focus
attention on the text, and slides on bright frame (that is the
color of it, say, blue ought to do). And if the new
engine is the color, sprites and other
pleasures of life (you can write in
ACEditor'e compile and how to please - the encoding is sent to
me:) And so - very much like a ZX-(again
same ZX) Pilot, which seems to have long slept ....
The content of course there is still some novelty: at least
the same argument about which operating system worth it. But
the review of software results in a banal: that's such a thing
razrulezneshaya. Straight all the cool ... A Th it tough -
not reported:) By the way, the release date
Trouble is possible to behold the next in the first
its sector, the balance after the BASIC ... "
DWT: Why is "banal"? Damn, the reader just can not understand
... One Like the newspaper in 62-s characters with
shestibitovoy encoding, and another - 42 characters with the
usual ASCII! May issue two ZXTime?:)
N: "On account Osov: repeat - keep your eyes peeled
Traubl - as an example of a real system. A
voobshe OS people need - as DOS.
Winds from ISDOS been written and
PinkFloid and ending VCRP Windows (in November 2001 came to the
web!). And most authors want windows, and the arrow Icons - a
list of such casks - names 10. Plus console 04.03 system. Some
of these systems claim to have serious technology: memory
allocation, kernel driver. Zakochennostyu have very few: in the
sense so that its AFM was (2-3), or at least
large set of programs (or at least adapted) (XDOS) - upon which
the author understands the uselessness of (his work ignore -
every interested wrote his VasyaPypkinOS, not interested - the
maximum blame foreign) and dumps by Windu. Vobschem it's a long
story ... "
DWT: That's why I and all razvozhu
this fuss! We must first decide what
necessary, and then translate it into reality!
N: "To write on spec - only AFM, any other - will not work
psychologically and Latency to work ... "
DWT: say nothing:).
N: "Hmm ... Actually, a pancake should be less talk, and at
least occasionally to do something pens - at least once a
month. Moreover, a major project on Speke now not to raise: one
person fails, more than one - not converge in the ideas and
opinions (it's OS particularly the case). And the hardware
capabilities of simple spectrum still have not been used: in
our town (Rumored) one of my friends wrote in
time multi-tasking OSes (have not seen, but according to
rumors) in It was formatted disk and at the same engineer was
played. And he was a programmer although steep (3D to Speke,
and the LABAJO in C + + written (according to rumors:) doom
engine - that came running polinstituta smotret_) but painfully
pedantic (all of it should be done by standard procedures
PZUshnymi, frames of windows DRAWami - that he on PCs and
dumped) and not an artist (The design was slop). But wrote
again, especially not talking (or especially:). "
DWT: Well, where is this system?
N: "On the bill: Target # 9 - I have yet seen the second
number. Compared with him, and all other
the press is extremely original and custom shell to tomuzhe
hypertext. Here I have long been this: if you look a couple of
publications take the wrapper of a newspaper (Target9) and
take the materials of another newspaper (say,
ZXTime) and combine - that it will be
rulnaya press! So in fact even if someone
reunify: (
Pro: Decruncher was emulyatorschikom, yes to tomuzhe from the
region, but not out the lowest: (In addition, he was mistaken:
Last Spectrum Navigator version is not 1.33 and 1.13 - the
author himself has confirmed. "
DWT: Thanks for the info.
N: "On zhelezyachnyh Extensions: Do not
mean? And the MP3 Speke who wants to listen? A HIColor'nuyu who
watch porn wants? In INET svezhak rock and letters
write (on paper to write something too lazy) who
wants? Here are bought by people navorochnny
PC hardware ....:( why buy that
in Speke this will never happen. Will not be because people in
Speke to create Themselves, for the soul, because they're
interested. And for other people to do - nothing good can be
obtained.
Damn, what nabredil ... But perepavlyat
I will not ... The idea - no one
increase does not force, the expansion is done for fun, not for
the sake of progress! .. "
DWT: Interesting opinion.
N: "And voosche conclusion of this I have now:
realschiki only breeds like bazaars
able, but emulyatorschikov rude because
them envious:) At least all the rabid
Spekovschiki-realschiki whom I knew personally was piled up on
the PC (and thus extrim Makarov - PC either at work or a gift),
while they are screaming all sorts of Speck rulezy.
My real Pentagon now stands at

anything new at Speke is less and

Well, who among us now Spektrumschik?

Here's the real realschiki who dream to buy a PC and played
there until opupeniya. Coder, engaged ASMom for their own
entertainment on the PC is nothing particularly not attractive:
only iron, which can be adjusted without soldering yes all
sorts of pictures and Mouzon. A write chtoto, knowing that the
compiler is your idea of a thin distort and nagruzet sorts

for all is already written - work was simply lost in the mass
of faceless unique ... "
DWT: Nuts, you say so, if all
realschiki - hypocritical bastards who
only dream of a powerful PC at home. Although myself and know
that you write nonsense and insults all spektrumistov that
"Pospektrumistee" you, at least for
fact that they have a home Speck. I do not have the HRC
and lack of special I do not feel it. A

And anyway - spektrumist - is the one
who ever is doing something for the benefit of the Spectrum!
Even if he cries "Speccy rulez!" and nothing else does - he
spektrumist!
N: "Damn, writing these words is harmful.
The more I criticize HRC, etc., so
less time I spend coding,
himself becoming like those who abused .... Such is the
quagmire - this PC ...
Well, something came over me. Nabredil
a lot. Please do not publish all too -
only quote :)..."
DWT: With joy did not comply with a request
Nuts'a and publish the entire letter.
The following letter came from DJ
Hooligan'a - our regular readers.
DJH: "I want to say thanks for the interesting content.
Especially a lot of it was different surveys. And
Internet-sites, and Spectrum Press, and the new software.
Keep it up!
Only now have to "wrap" corresponded to the content. No
offense will be said, but updated a little shell
differs from what has already happened. On
my opinion, the best span of DonNews.
Must be immediate transition to the desired article and mouse
support ... "
DWT: Will all this and more. But
later.:)
DJH: "So, improve, and if
periodicity of the newspaper will not
"Float", the "ZX-TIME" has every chance
to win the 1st place among the emerging now Spectrum newspaper.
"
DWT: Thank you.
That's all today's review letters.
By the way, the section "Mail" came the largest section of the
newspaper (by volume).
