From 500:812/08.14 To Paul Falcon 3 February 1998

Hi Paul! PF> here are the questions: And here are the answers :) (immediately: don’t kick me, I don’t know at the proper level, what is OS. But comrade DARK knows... He is an Amizhnik... The Amiga probably has one last advantage left in front of the pussy is her Axis. So, he enlightens me on this topic. Although I feel (subconsciously) how it should be...) PF> 1. what is the concept (cool said :) like that Make life easier for programmers. Programmers should get rid of headaches on the following topics: 1) file system and disk work (completely!) 2) machine configuration (memory and resources, access to them) 3) work with devices such as mouse/keyboard/printer/joystick... 4) add your own hemorrhoids :) I will note that, it seems, all this is in the isdos. Only here's why dedicated programmers have persistent headaches, I don't know... PF> multitasking/filesystem/extensibility. multitasking... hehe, I wish I could. explain to me what this is... a) a la Windows. you can run several tasks (window ones), as well as tedious tasks in native 640k emulation. Everything works at the same time or some are sleeping, and some are working at the same time. ( !!! I could be wrong, correct me. I don’t like the work of MSDOSA/Windovoz, I try not to interfere anywhere and do only what is necessary directly). tasks are switched using a timer (msdos) or something else...(plz correct me if wrong). b) amigoos. the problem of emulating any other disappears systems, there is no memory problem, everything is simpler... tasks can be returned extra (for them) time for each other, a flexible system of priorities. I won’t go into more detail - I don’t want to get into the weeds. so, there will be no correct mode of the tr-dos task (gee-gee, there is no MMU on Spec, as well as a supervisor stack :) and there is no timer hanging on NMI) We will try our best. Own tasks... I think, as in b) :) (I repeat, the main ideologist is DARK; if you are interested, I can ask him to describe everything... if really interesting) file system... its own. 1) built-in support for all spec systems and msdos. 2) the main system is our own, existing us not satisfied. It will be easy enough to do: a) arbitrary device size (although, probably, 4 gig will be enough) b) arbitrary file length (or 16 meg, haven’t thought about it yet) c) lack of the concept of “cluster” d) absence of the concept of "veil" e) 16...32 characters in the name (and maybe a comment) f) naturally, segmentation and subdirectories... possible (I have ideas): a) an indestructible disk. If all directories/subdirectories/ are killed bit map of blocks/part of files, it will be possible to restore the file system and surviving files. b) a small sharpening for floppy drive is possible, like a root/bitmap near the middle of the disk...extensibility... Maximum possible. Programmer can expand the system at its own discretion (one time! and not in each of its programs). If I'm not mistaken, on the pussy there is such a file "DOS4GV" or something similar... In my opinion, this is what it is, i.e. file complementing the system and written once. On the Amiga it’s even cooler - there the whole system consists of pieces (libraries)... PF> 2. how will total control over what is happening be arranged? No way. But something can be foreseen. For future hardware gadgets. PF> 3. in these words, please, what will be in the operating system inside. Everything is in the pages. In memory of the resident. Pages for the system We won’t regret it at the expense of performance. Optimally - not lower than Scorpio... You'll have to struggle with portability... But it's done perfectly, and it seems to work well. And so - I don’t know... As I already said, so far everything is at the concept level. If there was a backbone, the meat would grow... All that remains is to decide... Just like that. What are your thoughts? You seem to be quite familiar with the pussy - maybe you can tell me what? I think that we should take it from the pussy too all the best he has... All the best. Dmitry aka -=LD=- / X-TRADE GROUP. -+- ZXASM 3.0

Hi Paul! PF> in short, you can take the dock using ms-dos or even just using int21h PF> this is like on the RST spec. and, if possible, implement the commands. But no... It will not be a system, but an ersatz! Hehe, I only found out yesterday what exactly Uncle Vitalik wants to do... Have you seen AmigaOS? So, he wants to do even better... where possible. The whole point is that I want it too; I also see that there is nothing here there is no unreal. And I didn’t even talk about half measures... The main question remains: will we be able to support the system? enough software for it? But, in principle, I don’t care. If it is GOOD, then we will not be the only ones writing this software... Multitasking - nada... Object orientation is convenient... UNIX-like sophistication - very good... The graphical interface is familiar to Amizhniki :) Tasks both in the window and in the whole screen; Possibility of frame chips in windows... Supporting all available resources is an eternal problem... Adjustment for Sprinter-like monsters - suddenly it will be in demand! Etc. Etc. We sat and dressed up, which is useless, for example, without frame pixel-by-pixel/line-by-line scrolling in windows... And it seems There are no fundamental obstacles. And got tired of fucking - you sit in STORME, you write something, and then the mouse screen - bam! - and move it away... Or launch another STORM in another window...And it’s possible! "Our goals are clear, our tasks are defined - let's get to work, comrades!" PF> coding for Amiga OS or Windows PF> the order is more complicated without the so-called visual (c++,basic,prolog...) I don’t know, I haven’t tried... But guess what, if there is a system... you need a file one panel open - everything is already there, you need mathematics - there is, you need memory - get back the logical page number and address, you need to suck in the file - catch it, you need to scroll the image - yes, display a car of pictograms/inscriptions - yes... Probably easier than without a normal OS. Where did you see the big one in MSDOS? part of it? DL>> so, there will be no correct mode for the tr-domain task DL>> (gee-gee, there is no MMU on Spec, as well as a supervisor stack :) DL>> and there is no timer hanging on NMI) DL>> we will try to do our best. PF> here’s the question, are you going to screw the piece of hardware? no, it’s better... It would be necessary to provide for the connection of any piece of hardware... That is, there should be nothing fixed in the system - only kernel (multitasking, file system, command line and all). DL>> file system... its own. PF> ы :( PF> is logical, but it’s difficult to re-write an operating system that is not similar PF> (especially with such a main ideologist ;) That's right, you need to make poultices/lotions for isdos! :) DL>> c) lack of the concept of “cluster” PF> is correct in principle, there will be no large files on the spec. You probably didn’t understand... Minimum disk unit space is a sector, not a cluster, as in MSDoS. Essentially, a cluster is always equal to a sector. Hence the savings disk space. There's one more feature here. This is best. We need to make sure that in the middle it was possible to add not only a sector to the file, but also bytes/bytes without scrolling the entire file across the disk. We already know how. (I always liked the isdos - you edit the file for 200 seconds, you add a byte to the beginning, DRY EXIT - and off we go, for half an hour...) Now DARK is drawing an interface in the image of some black and white MAC sample '84 (soulmate in two colors), and I'm getting close to the file system... The process has begun. We may have started in the wrong place but it’s more interesting this way! And we temporarily scored on STORM, perhaps the next version will be for the system :) All the best.

Hi Paul! DL>> Object orientation is convenient... PF> this somehow relates more to programming. Of course. So what? The programmer should be comfortable. The system should help him, not force him to fight with you. So, an object is convenient... PF> well, of course, but it doesn’t look like coding PF> in BC++ 3.1 under Windows, you sit and remember “what’s the procedure PF> does this??? " ;) Yes, it will be more difficult in places. But there will be opportunities difficult to implement without a system. In addition, you can write an interactive help to each system library. Have you seen, for example, help to TP on the pussy? Shine! It will be in Russian :) DL>> no, better... It would be necessary to provide for the connection of any piece of hardware... DL>> That is, there should be nothing fixed in the system - only DL>> kernel (multitasking, file system, command line and all). PF> no, well, it’s cool, but it works out. Yesterday an idea appeared. Three hours on the phone discussed. There will be a hellish memory allocation mechanism. Moreover, the allocated piece for the program will be continuous, be it at least 100 kilos long. Naturally, working with memory will only be through the system. Let's come up with a bunch of functionsplus user_defined, it will be cool. Structure of a piece of memory - object Memory will be cut inside the system by page and have your own "FAT". It will be possible to add bytes in the middle without scrolling and much more. Only when writing to disk it will slow down - will have to pick up the pieces. But the brake is better once than a brake during the editing process, let's say, big text writers. Pressed enter and wait until the line is inserted into memory... all sorts of things interpage scrolling, etc. Hm. It will be possible directly... PF> well, the steering wheel! Don’t forget to post something about the system here. hehe. I can throw the screen on which they are drawn all sorts of windows... DARK designed the design of the graph. shells. I like... A cross between an Amiga and a Mac. System font - 51 characters. Very beautiful. Best wishes. Dmitry aka -=LD=- / X-TRADE GROUP. -+- ZXASM 3.0

Hi, Oleg! DL>> Not decided. But they decided - 20 characters in the name, 40 comments. DL>> It turns out 32 bytes/descriptor, probably 128 at the root. OG> What is the format of the descriptor? 20 name, 2 download address, 3 length, OG> 4 coordinates on disk. And 3 more? date and flag? 20 - name 3 - length 3 - pointer to the first block 4 - date 2 - flags The address starts in the garden. For what? If the file is trdos, there is 8 name, and 12 extra bytes. Let's put it there. OG> Well, let's assume there are 1024 files in the subdirectory. 32*1024=32 kilos. I OG> I want to mark them all and copy them to another directory. How is it OG> will look like? Catalog loading? 1024? I beg you! But still: 1) all free memory in the system automatically used for disk cache. If some the task wants memory, but there is none - part of the cache is deleted. 2) if the entire directory does not fit into memory, we will process it in pieces 3) if the catalog doesn’t fit and you need to mark everything, this is a problem program that does this option if there is no memory: during the marking operation, the files are numbered, the directory is processed in parts. Next, the files are copied one by one (re-read directory, the buffer is filling up, etc.) If there is no memory, yes, there will be a brake, but it will work.If there is memory, everything is cached and flies. How else? Attach 1M memory to some composite is very simple, no one does it, because it's not necessary. And that will be an incentive. I lost track of 1M. It is planned to work at 128. The layout is as follows: 25k low_memory 96k high_memory (or 90 without the 7th screen) The core will occupy, I think, 32k high and 10k low. If there are no other tasks besides the commander (16k high), 48k remains > 0 :) It will work. DL>> Everything is more cunning. The first sector of any file is judicial. DL>> and the path to itself (text like TRASH/LOW_TRASH/FILE_NAME). OG> No, no, no! BYTE/WORD/WORD. Pros: fixed length. Lots of problems. If the directory is deleted - number release? Where to store the list of exempt numbers? How to associate a number and a name? Where to get the directory name if everything crashes? DL>> In addition, it contains specific identifiers and DL>> CRC 16 itself. So everything can be restored DL>> simply by scanning the disk and finding the first sectors of the files. OG> idea rulez. but speed? it will be terribly slow. speed of what? Roughly speaking, you need to read the extra sector. Where does the brake come from? DL>> (and we also thought about how to add a byte to the middle of the file. DL>> each element of the FAT file has a "sector length" field. Need to add OG> Limits on the number of segments? No. Besides the brakes. Once every... do a defrag. The first sector of the file stores part of the fat (256 bytes free in the sector, 4 bytes per descriptor, 64 descriptors, max. 32k described. It's over - the next sector of the file contains another piece of veil.) If you need to insert a byte: 1) see where to paste 2) if in the middle of a certain sector - the sector is divided into two, the total length 513, the first one is trimmed length in descriptor, tail merged with the byte written and received the sector is written somewhere. The whole veil is moving. 3) changes are written to the directory and to the bitmap free blocks. Anything is faster than scrolling, say, 128 seconds (64k) across the disk... And simple recording, although it will be a little slower, than in trdos (long directories, veils, bit map), but there are a lot of advantages. OG> By the way, how do you implement relocation? How in Izze? Yes. We take STORM, broadcast to different addresses, compare, supplement with a correction map Only the process needs to be automated, so as not to write at the end of the program DW label, label, label...

From Paul Falcon To Dmitry Lomov 26 February 1998

I’m sitting here, reading, and suddenly I see Dmitry Lomov writing to Vladimir Larkov... Hi Dmitry! VL> 2DL: let's really go there? It was made for that echo, I’m not the only one here VL> what can I tell you. It’s not about how it looks on the outside, but about what’s there VL> I don’t know much inside. DL> You can. But I think it’s possible here too... DL> (hehe, only instead of "Amiga" you need to write a code word, say, DL> "screwdriver" so that Pasha doesn't swear :) I understand, you can discuss anything, but what about Spectrum as it was. and Larkov got excited and in vain. VL> This is exactly why SPBZXNET.AMY was made. But for all the time there DL> there were VL> exactly two and a half questions. They were answered, more DL> there were no questions. DL> incomprehensible echo... Well, if you specifically need it, I can drain it all, zip it up, and throw it to you soap (currently 90% of the letters are about my harmless joke about renaming spbzxnet.amy to spbzxnet.tormoz :) DL> For a question about the system, it doesn’t matter that this and that was done on the Amiga. DL> It is important that there are some good opportunities in nature DL> and I would like to implement them. definitely. ps. I’ll hold off disabling Larkov for now, since it might come in handy :) ▌█▐▐║▌█▐▐▌▐ W!7h 7he Be$7 W!$he$ fR0M CREATOR product ▌812/03.00▐ Powered by Cyrix 6x86L 200+/16DIMM/S3TrV2 2mb/SBpro/Q1.6Gb/USR28.8

I’m sitting here, reading, and suddenly I see Roman Alexandrov writing to Dmitry Lomov... Hi Roman! VL>> By the way, you can hang _this_ plus on your wall. Awards and remarks VL>> in conferences are distributed on behalf of the moderator or comoderator, and not from VL>> subscriber Paul Falcon. DL> he is the moderator... RA> Letters from the moderator in the "From:" column contain the word "Moderator" I would add it to Fido. Our policy says nothing. Moreover, I didn’t turn it off, but warned it. and he is immediately ambitious. ps. let me register with you as a code.zx moderator? ▌█▐▐║▌█▐▐▌▐ W!7h 7he Be$7 W!$he$ fR0M CREATOR product ▌812/03.00▐ Powered by Cyrix 6x86L 200+/16DIMM/S3TrV2 2mb/SBpro/Q1.6Gb/USR28.8

Hi Valentin! PF>> they freely modified the ROM, but the spec remained with the beta version. PF>> there’s nothing to tell. VP> well, the Spekov method has a big plus. There you can VP> use ROM not only at entry points. Yes, and there are not very many of them, VP> for those writing in ASMA. hehe... There's nothing useful there.

Hi Dmitry, In a message of to Paul Falcon (), you wrote: DL> The Amiga probably has one last advantage DL> in front of the pussy is her Axis. If this is the last, then there are no more left. and please don't engage more overkill, it’s better to at least read smart books (not Figurnova, Windows for idiots' and the like). agree that on ambition alone, above dullness and You are unlikely to do any limited positive advertising for your favorite toy. Bye, Michael.

Hi Dmitry, In a message of to Michael Kondratyev (), you wrote: DL>> The Amiga probably has one last advantage DL>> in front of the pussy is her Axis. MK> if this is the last, then there are no more left. DL> Come on, come on... Continue the thought... Otherwise it’s somehow unfinished... Enlighten. I hope you've heard about os/2, nt, linux and others. it just so happens that when talking about "wasps on the pussy" you have to take into account a little more than just the old grandpa msdos. so that the “advantages” are not so unfounded. DL> If we talk about pussy... DL> What elements of which axes on the pussy do you see DL> feasible and desirable on the Spectrum? DL> It would be interesting to know your opinion. To be honest, I don’t know. and first of all because it gets up first The question is about the minimum required configuration of this abstract spectrum. It seems that this is exactly why you need to dance. and, of course, depending on what you want spectrum of application software. DL> And so - I’ll tell you where exactly it was done DL> good/convenient/correct - whether on an Amiga or on a pussy... So try to be more correct and objective. and, of course, have your ownan opinion supported by one’s own knowledge of theory and one’s own practice. not the thing is, when an advertising video is already reflected in beliefs, life is more complicated: and The stains don’t all wash off, and the dandruff doesn’t disappear, and cats bury their whiskey... DL> It is important to me what is done and how to distribute DL> this is on Spectrum. again: it depends on what goals to pursue. the most general ideas may turn out to be universal, but if we go down to the specifics, then almost everywhere we come to dilemma about utility and costs. By the way, a good example is the same isdos; you can see what is distributed and where it comes from, and at the same time try to find explanations why this way and not otherwise? DL> I agree with this florid verbiage thought. DL> Do you want to take her to me? Please, arguments. arguments are just a selection of your own letters. no offense, but well, very, very similar to “Akimov’s vision of the essence of inlight96”. Bye, Michael.
