Beta Commander

Hello Lennon Ver. 1.3 by Turbinov on 01/05/91 This commander was widespread at Baikonur. This is the first commander which I saw, and at first I even thought that he was the only one in the world. All the disks that were presented along with the computer to my friend Tim were equipped with this particular commander. Long years (by children's standards) at first Tim, then I used this commander alone. In addition, those the disks that I took from my comrades were also supplied by this particular commander. And only a few years later I met another one, someone against a black background. which I dare to conclude that the commander presented was part of subculture ZX-Spectrum in Baikonur. Although it may have been widespread in other cities, correct me if this is so! I don’t know who Turbinov is, By the way, it would also be interesting to know your heroes: v2_rolley. For me and many of my Baikonur comrades, the interface of this commander is perceived on a subconscious level and is also associated with the Spectrum as inscription: <1982 Sinclair Research Ltd>. Or also as Norton Commander for early users of the IBM PC. Description: The commander's interface is designed on a blue background. At the bottom of the screen is command menu, in which the command keys are highlighted in capital letters: Home T start; Mark T switch to file selection mode; ReName Ts file renaming;d C change disc; dOs C output in TR-DOS; Ver T description of the version. In selection mode, the command menu is modified: All - select all; Copy - copy selected files; Erase Ts delete selected files; Ret Return to file launch mode; Enter - assign selection. It should be noted that the commander has two file display modes, the first The mode only allows you to run files, and it displays files which can be launched. The second mode is for working with files: copying and deleting. It displays all available files, including files of the commander himself, there are two of them: launcher (base loader) and code. In mode Selected marked files are moved to the right column by pressing enter. Selected files in the right column can either be deleted or copied to another disk. Two bars appear on the screen when copying progress, the first bar indicates how much has been read from the source disk, the second shows how much is written to the receiver disk. At the same time, the stripes change color from yellow to red. In addition to progress bars on the screen horizontally four letters ABCD are running, apparently you need to navigate by them, is it frozen? computer or not when copying, if the letters run, then everything is hockey. The sounds that characterize keystrokes are generated using a speaker.Moving the marker through the file is carried out using arrows or a joystick, command to be executed by pressing enter. I would also like to note one feature of the interface. I don’t know if it was on purpose intended by the programmer or so it happened. However, it turned out very beautifully and unusual. The fact is that the file marker is white and the background is blue. With such color combination on all TVs and even on many monitors highlight marker It doesn't look white, it looks pink. I used to think that it was really pink and I liked it I couldn’t get my head around that he was actually given white, although I perfectly I knew that the Spectrum didn’t have that pink color But it was so natural done that it simply never even occurred to me to think about it. I turned I noticed this feature only when I changed the monitor to LCD and saw white file marker :v2_blink; .; I remember now, I remember when I tried to set it up image, in particular the color of the TV, I still could not achieve white color, he constantly gave me pink ones, but even when I achieved this, white letters on a blue background there were still pink ones. Then I attributed everything to our backwardness technology. But when it began to appear on the monitors, I realized that it was connected with the very principle of image formation. :v2_wacko; File:; boot.jpg http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=3838File: boot.rar http://zx.pk.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=3839
