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.
