Real Commander

Hello All! As I wrote earlier, since work on subject 2.0 is progressing slowly, Due to difficulties encountered in organizing the modular system, I decided release another version of the 1.9 series in which the existing ones are corrected shortcomings and known glitches. If someone's subject doesn't work with what or DOS, RamDisk, etc. write to me. Make a full-fledged bells and whistles do not offer text viewer, since version 1.9 has no memory for this (I mean for the ROM version). All the bells and whistles will be in version 2.0, By the way, I would like to know All's opinion on this matter. How are you You could find out from electronic publications that version 2.0 of the subject is planned with an open architecture and modular system, the commander himself will be absolutely “naked”, no add-ons like a doctor, player, viewer, formatter. All the bells and whistles will be implemented in modules and loaded through "Autoload". Thanks to open architecture it will be possible connect the HDD driver, General S. player, etc. to the commander. I’m still afraid that version 2.0 may not catch on, for example ZX-ASM 3.10 with its overlay system, especially for ROM version, it’s easier to press a button and get into the team with all the bells and whistles, Why else wait until it loads the prescribed modules (although they can be also load from RC RamDisk). Boot from flop (with basic modules) it theoretically should not last much longer than the younger version, soas when loading modules there is only one access to the zero track, and then all the modules are read in a row, the most optimal would be place the command at the beginning of the disk. In general, write what you are on think about this score. Bye! Pawel@nm.ru realsoft.nm.ru [RC 2.0 25%] [ZX] [Real Software]

Hello, Denis! 01 Feb 80 0:00, Denis Kitel -> Kirill Frolov: MZ>>> Single-panel for files is bad. ;) KF>> Agree 200%. Optimally - 2-3 panels. DK> Why the hell do you need 3 panels? Right! 3 panels are too much, but 2 are just right. Look for example at commanders on large platforms, they (commanders) there are all two-panel, and if there are single-panel ones (well, for example, Windows Explorer :)))) then this It’s shit and no one normal uses them. I don't really understand why Spec didn't take root with two-panel? I only saw two commanders with 2 panels: Honey Commander and, like, Beta Commander. All. [I.ZX][DnB][ASM] Let's write again, Denis!

PK>> That's what I'm talking about... Of course! There is no need to do anything. TR-DOS interface is a dream user. I understand the dispute 2 <--> 4 panels, because with 4 panels It’s a pleasure to work with (disc gnaw 4), but the symbols are crooked, and 2 panels - beautiful, but not so informative. Although, after sitting for some time under the Light HDD commander, I I was convinced that 4 panels with their functionality are much more cover the inconvenience when reading small text!!! And what about the 1st panel..... When people also had no HDD there was 1 disk drive - it was relevant, but guys, it's time somehow develop!!! YN> What, lazy to do? I understand! Most likely. ─ ── ───═══════─── ── ─

Hello Eugene! Eugene Palenock ==========> Pawel Kislyak: EP> What is the latest version of the subject for flashing into ROM? RC 1.96 EP> What fundamentally new things will RC 2.0 have? Fundamentally new - two-panel, modular system. The design turned out well, I even like it myself ;), There is no longer a 32-character printer. I'll try to post screenshots on realsoft.nm.ru in the near future. EP> Will it also be flashed in ROM? Yes, there will be a separate program for generating roms with modules. EP> There seem to be some additional modules there? I don’t know if it will happen for sure, but they promised: Formatter, HDD driver, Turbo Loader, General Sound, SCL, TRD, Hrip, Tetris, scripting language. Well from me too PT3 player, Doctor, maybe something else. At the request of the people there will also be a utility that allows you to generate in one BASIC RC file with selected modules. EP> And what of what is in 1.9x in ROM will not be in 2.0 in ROM? The only question is how many modules will fit in the ROM, of course the version 2.0 will be larger in size and it will no longer be possible to cram it into 16k RC with modules for doctor, viewer, formatter and player. I'll have to sacrifice some module, but there is also 32k ROM. At this stage there is already a fully functional two-panelversion, now I’m starting directly to debugging and optimization modular system, I will soon be sending it out to everyone who has submitted desire to write your own modules beta version of RC.

Hello Pawel! 05 Mar 01 10:54, Pawel Kislyak -> Eugene Palenock: EP>> What is the latest version of the subject for flashing into ROM? PK> RC 1.96 I started making a ROM disk in page 4 27512, and arose next question. Like a standard subject loader does "basic128" work? #0000 DI LD HL,#0068 LD DE,#71F8 LD BC,#3DC5 LDIR LD DE,#5C00 LD BC,#0173 LDIR Well, that's understandable... XOR A LD HL,#71F8 LD BC,#3DC5 M1 ADD A,(HL) LD E,A INC HL DEC B.C. LD A,B OR C LD A,E JR NZ,M1 SUB #95 LD (#5D3F),A is this what the CRC considers? Why such a delay in the form of reading? Is CRC needed before starting from _ROM_? In case the ROM floats? ;) Or maybe it's better this way: D.I. XOR A EX AF,AF' LD HL,#0068 LD DE,#71F8 LD BC,#3DC5 M1 EX AF,AF' ADD A,(HL) EX AF,AF' LDI LD A,B OR C JP NZ,M1 SUB #95 LD (#5D3F),A LD DE,#5C00 LD BC,#0173 LDIR After all, the subject will start almost twice as fast.By the way, the ROM version will work if it has this ROM page will not be available after startup? Best regards, Evgeniy.
