A dream or what will the new MMD be like?

ZXNet echo conference «code.zx»

From 812/08.11 To Alexandr Majorov 12 October 1997

Greetings, dear Alexandr! After calling you at the station, I decided sit down with this letter and write a couple of lines and IMHO maybe a great ALL something d will add. All SPb users have long been familiar with ZX-NET m and they widely use MMD 2.xx, but in time does not stand still, and that one is not far off the day when the new version of MMD will be released, n What new things would you like to see in it? And I decided to take on the role of "rationalizer" torus", i.e. offer a couple of ideas for everyone her consideration... 1. Slightly change the file view, create just as it was in MMD 2.1x, namely: when The user will want to view the same image again ile, then do not read it again from the disk, but output appear on the screen from the buffer if the file is at the beginning le, otherwise re-count. 2. There is such a thing that when I called " BREAK" menu, selected a submenu and suddenly... with decided to change the disk, then as expected, if and there is "automatic disk control", I fall out in the disk change menu, and after it I drop into terminal, and you can also see a piece of the eye in it I was in a box in which I pulled out the disk. 3. I offer it especially for people with "Vinta" mi" organize the work of the MMD in the following way zom: a) In the settings, set the section that th will be used as a system one, i.e. all service files will be stored in It will not be accessible to him or to the USER, i.e. The USER may be provided with There are 4 disks and it won’t find LO on any of themG-files ;) and you don’t have to pay for space for them you will have to be afraid, otherwise sometimes it happens that there is no space on the disk for LOG and it dies, and SYSOP has troubles. b) Overlay file, as in Dos Navigator, d Where: the program body and settings are saved in case of launching a file, for subsequent work ot after resetting the running program, that don’t worry about the safety of your data and performance of MMD after running the program gi, leaving in memory the code that provides the download and continue working, otherwise in MMD /BBS 3.xx when the program is launched, everything is lost and I have to boot again :((. Also e keep a log of visits, in which, in addition to everything else, as in BBC, enter the time presence, which files were marked/ska planned, but also, at the end of the session, inform the Ossetia with a mark in the LOG total volume in sectors of uploaded/downloaded software from/to station disk. c) Provide for "control of the catalog tions" i.e. after I/O operations (ne sending files to the selected station disk) automatically offer the visitor accepted ь modified directory of this disk. d) Use the clock on SMUC as ve system timer, in case of absence of this DEVICE offer to enter the time manually nova, as before, and use prevaniya. 4. Create downloadable ones for all types of machines th driver for working with memory. 5. It would be desirable if after the shift the drive era, for the modem, as well as after changes inthere would be no need to restart the external SETUP turn on the car, but continue to work in treason this configuration. 6. For MMD/BBS, provide, if possible oh, something like a language for setting the p mode station operations - script language. 7. In MMD 2.2x there is such a glitch, after ok ending a file transfer session from/to a disk with tion does not turn off the file viewing mode in by mask. 8. If the driver file is not found The memory will work like on the 128th machine, but when about If there is no modem driver, display a message information about system error and HALT machine (DI ,HALT). 9. For Scorpinites, provide, if in It is possible to enter the shadow area using MAGIC, when starting same program, and reset using RESET+CURSOR LEFT, and in cold restart mode.
