ZXNet echo conference «code.zx»
From Paul Falcon → To All 20 April 1998
Hi All!
and so the subject is ripe, the network needs software.
This is what Yura (Gutnik) and I came up with, first we need an editor + database +
converter from/to editor/database.
You can borrow an editor to start with ;) for example, disassemble ibm editor
a little. correct in some places to 64/42 characters (driver) work
with disk (driver)
the program occupies most of the disk, the main piece is the base, externally
a bunch of files of 255 seconds each, they contain a simplified tr_dos disk model
+many files in the directory+subdirectories. the program should be able to:
take the file from the tr-dos disk (is dos/ms dos), process it with the driver (in
depending on the zxnet/pkt format) and at the driver output we get
letter in internal format. type:
#01,10-10-99 00:00:00 rulez Vasya Pupkin,#00,Fedya Dupkin,#00,zx.spectrum,
(several bytes msgid)
the program writes a letter to its virtual disk and edits the tables (letters, read, not
I read...) if you need to edit a letter, we send the file to the editor and write there
exit) the program processes the letter and marks it as supposed to be sent.
when the program says 'give me mail' it takes it out and passes it through the driver
and writes to disk in the required format (zxnet/pkt)
Naturally, if possible, the system can run on is dos/ms dos.
I’m personally thinking through the details and maybe I’ll start writing something, but not before
what to expect from Yudin Emulator 0.32 with 70 hertz, 49 hertz Masdai Forev.Actually this is due to the lack of a monitor for the spec.
if I write, it’s free, if someone else is willing, then you can
raise money for software and pay this guy extra.
That's what you say.

I have a proposal: you give me the database format, and I’ll write a converter for youfido<->base + tosser + ... + in short, I can give you complete information about pct files
(I pinched most of it myself)
And in general, I want to pee on the software, otherwise we are planning a 3rd demo.
P.S. By software I meant programs of the style not games & not demos.
P.P.S. Folks, do you need PSC 1.06 (freeware)? If anyone needs it, I'll throw it later
him in the echo.
