TZX to REAL TAPE...

ZXNet echo conference «real.speccy»

From Alexey Voskresensky To All 29 May 2003

Glad to see you again, citizens!

On Wednesday, May 28, 2003, at exactly 09:16:52, the connection was unexpectedly
broken, I heard only a half-strangled:
-"TZX to REAL TAPE..."... I hope you will understand what will be discussed below:


There are 3 problems:

1. Maybe you know that some tzx files (there are very few of them!) use a feature - 'Select Block'. (In general, when
the emulator encounters such a block, at the right moment it displays on
the monitor screen a menu with items for selecting loading options,
and the user can use the cursor to select the desired one from the proposed
options.

QUESTION:
Do you have tzx-s with such a block? I want to test
the program on it. I can dig this up on the internet myself It’s a problem, because
I’m still on the real world... I’ve already
written the processing of blocks (with menus), according to the documentation, but I still want to test them
in practice in order to avoid glitches.

If you have _such_ tzx files, is it not difficult for you to send them
to me, by the way?

2. You need any tzx files with blocks. 'Direct Recording' for
final testing.

3. Well, in general, send any _tricky_ tzx files :))

Thanks! Good luck!

P.S. My spbzxnet address: 500:812/19.6

P.P.S. The file can be packed using pkzip (without long win-names).
P.P.P.S. Direct FidoshnyI DO NOT have an address - address 2:5030/x.x
is substituted by the boss's gateway when it passes letters
from spbzxnet to fidonet, so DO NOT write to the fidosh address - I'm not
sure that the letters will arrive normally.

Captain Trueno left ZXNet's soap. In addition to the block switches, there is another interesting point. In any case, this TZX did not initially work in my namesake's emylator and he fixed it only after I sent him the same file.

The file has not arrived yet. When it comes, I’ll test it and report back
the results.

Good luck!
