Do you like the new editor? Do not find that too big? :) This 
is a It fit all the features that have been in its history, 
except Is that the screen 384x304. Version with the screen I 
for myself I will gather the flick of a finger:) You have such 
an opportunity will be next time. Yes, SMT ordered for viewing 
at 384x304 include Unreal Speccy wide curb.


Today we celebrate the sixth anniversary of the meeting Alone 
Co. and Invaders Gr. It can be regarded as a holiday base 
expanded Invaders Gr., While not yet i8. We then prepared for 
release Guide, and then also the material was not enough:) 
Generally speaking, I used (do not know how John and Basil) to 
share all the events on the Speccy as occurring before the fall 
of 1998 (to ZX-Guide) and occurred AFTER. Old people, who 
managed to release something before, there are few ... But they 
are there:) 

So, the first version of AC Edit (v0.03) was released before:) 
Then he had simply called EDIT, and went into the source code, 
but without avtosborschika, unlike, for example, it is v0.87. 
How I managed to achieved over time in terms of the editor? 
(Look at the version number - appears to him to complete was 
exactly year!) In fact, achieved something, but it is difficult 
to enumerate all positive side. I will take the trouble to list 
the differences compared to v0.59. That "AC Edit'u three 
years," remember?

In general, ACE is the tenacious project at Speccy. He never 
stopped more than 2 months. When you do not write the editor, 
expands todo list, thanks to which, for example, in one 
yesterday already made 17 changes. True, we should not say that 
for the sake of yesterday had to stretch to 4:20 am to 
midnight:)

John gave up and quit smoking again smokes like a chimney. If on

Through the efforts of KSA-7G to the so-called pentagon 
Dissonatora connected first CD-ROM, then HDD. HDD have earned 
only one of the two, and then - only when connected to the same 
cable CD-ROM. And the CD-ROM must be a Master, or else the 
program CD-Walk is not working. For HDD, except for the iS-DOS, 
which I do not want to put, I while there are only programs 
Storer by SAVC (cleaning) and Hard Disk Search'Test 0.05 by 
Breeze (the definition of parameters). 

Dissonator promised to come this week to see, but did not come. 
Liar. Works not say where from morning till night. 

Ldir wrote an infinite number of new Last 128 (already 
forgotten what:). Went to internet. Chapa, who returned from 
the hospital, said that Last'ov come out at least another 2.


Ldir in early September took me 2 CD (and yet another - all in
August), all promised to return in a week, and has not returned 
yet far. Certainly bent and smeared, is ashamed to admit it.


Vladimir Bogdanovic from Krasnoyarsk sent a double CD on ZX, 
which I have not even 1% could not make out. But it promises to 
be a lot of interesting ... 

I fully decompiled and Perfect Commander. Very bad
optimized. Kind people sent HELP, according to which, v1.7
from v1.52 is not very different and.
