I beg you! :-)
the _journal_ engine, by definition, cannot occupy more than 16k.
or does the phrase “the engine works with any memory” mean that the text can be
pumped into the ram-disk? oh, how difficult ;)


All the best.
Dmitry.

that’s exactly the whole text that is sucked into the frame disk
or for example, there was once “Land of Myths 256”. So she
worked on scorps, atm and pros from one disk (after SoK processing). Although in
the original there were 3 different versions

DL> me. because this is the size of the can ;) .
maybe I don’t understand something, but what does the size of the can have to do with it. After all, if I, for example
do
smoothing from #6000 to #BFFF, then this is already more than 16K, but the text buffer
really should be at least 16K

From Evgeny Milun To All 28 July 1999

Have you ever published magazines? ;)

Good luck! Evgeny.

MS> maybe I don’t understand something, but what does the size of the jar have to do with it.

He-he, it’s just an estimate.
you need to name a number that is more than 10k, but less than 20.
our person, of course, will name 16k :-)

MS> After all, if I
MS> for example, I do a ironing iron from #6000 to #BFFF, then this is already more 16K,

it must be a very fierce stare - multitext, hypertext, windows,
access to the Internet :-) Windows, in short, otherwise why would it borrow 24K?

for example, a bunch of conversion tables, support for music
files, in general something like BestView

this by definition is not an engine.

yes, yes, but it does not fit with the scope (magazine).

We've arrived. :)

With respect, Alex Noman.

EM> “Packed” - is it on disk? Just the code itself, or just the “engine”
EM> ?

code, of course. I don’t remember, maybe there were fonts there, and some kind of graphics.
code - five kilos, probably no more.

From Evgeny Milun To All 11 August 1999

DL> code, of course.
Only, you know, it was not about the “code”, but about the “engine”. This is first of all.
Secondly - if I haven’t already forgotten, we were talking about initial memory testing and
loading articles from the RAM disk.

DL> I don’t remember, maybe there were fonts there, and graphics
DL> of some kind.
These “fonts and some kind of graphics” together with the code and ideology
control (keys, arrows, etc.) is the “engine”.
