Fidosh software on ZX
ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»
From Michael Orehov → To All 20 May 1999
I don’t know if anyone has already made such a discovery:
I try, if time permits, to read fidosh news
those that are “The newsletter of the FidoNet community”... or
as a last resort, I look through their table of contents suddenly something interesting
they will write... so in “FIDONEWS Vol 16, Number 20 17 May 1999"
I discovered that they sometimes publish "FIDONET SOFTWARE LISTING" -
- a fairly large list of Fidosh and near-Fidosh software.
the names of programs for a bunch of operating systems on PC are given,
_and_also_ for Amiga and Atari... And then I thought “why is this
actually ZX Spectrum is not on their list?!” but there is software
and people actually work. In short, we need to correct the situation, don’t you agree?
Someone who knows a lot - collect information on fidosh software
on ZX, eh? I myself don’t know much about this, because I’m not a realist
and a provincial, but if you’re lazy, maybe you can at least describe the software
that you yourself write/use, and I’ll put the information together
and try to finish it with the person leading this list, huh?
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ?

Thu May 20 1999, Michael Orehov squeezed the keyboard, hoping that the following words would reach All:
