Tired of it?
ZXNet echo conference «code.zx»
From 812/10.00 → To Paul Falcon 23 December 1997
Greetings to you,
O Venerable Paul
12/23/97 Paul Falcon sent a letter to Denis Parinov:
DP> And the main problem of writing tosser under isdos is that k
DP> problems of implementing the algorithm will be additionally added
DP> problems with the "isdos" system itself.
PF> I’ve sketched out the basics here, and I realized, it’s a bummer. first
PF> means the procedure checks each byte for the presence of a header or
PF> origin. when found, you need to compare it with the list of points (we load),
PF> if there is such a person (at the address in the origin) then don’t look
And then look at the from field to see if the name is spelled correctly.
Otherwise people started making pseudonyms indiscriminately, or they forget
put your name there.
PF> is it disconnected from this conf (you need to load something with the list),
Can be disabled by some icon (date) in the point list
put down.
It looks like things are moving forward!
And then you look and the soaper will appear under the isdos;)
Or maybe we can move even closer to fido-technology:
a letter is sent, immediately after the point leaves it is attached to
echo and a number is assigned to it.
In a separate list, a record is kept of who, what letter is the latest
I read in which echo.
Then the task of the tosser will be significantly simplified: know, check
the letter is in good working order, and stick it to the echo.But these are all dreams, dreams...
Goodbye, Boris.

Greetings to you,

BS> Are you saying that all your Windows disks won’t boot?
BS> In addition to branded ones.
DP> Well, in general, yes, it’s true that I forced them to load, but this is current
DP> using force ;( (by writing a track-by-track copier)
Come over, we’ll treat you, we’ll write down something.
Just first format the floppy disk with ISO. For the test
drive.
DP> I'm generally lucky with isdos, then unzip won't let me speak
DP> error: 250, they did it, damn half of the archives are no longer available
Here's a help for you:
How to remove a check
to the checksum.
Use the DEMON program to find the code sequence
activity - 3E FA 37 E1 C0 in the is_dos.sys file,
in which you need to replace C0 with 00.
P.S. True, sometimes, as Kondratiev says, instead of C0
there may be another code, but I haven't seen it yet, so
enable sequence search in the previous 4 bytes.
Goodbye, Boris.

Hello Denis!
Thu Dec 25 1997, Denis Parinov concocted a letter to Paul Falcon:

DP> I don't know where it ends. But in the system at the top
at the beginning of the cache area. the latter can be reduced at the start up to 6 units.

no one has abolished disassemblers yet
