Glyukodrom - glitches determine whether the mouse - an actual procedure from Stranger'a.

  That is, damn it, I sit and think of Claudia as well
Still bad, when programs written by people kotorum absolutely 
poheru user-friendliness! Mouse on sinter already at least 
three years, and until now very few people have learned to 
correctly identify its presence. Because there are components 
on which the presence of absence of a presence of this device 
of the ports, the corresponding read just nonsense, and if the 
poll mouse is not disabled, the user poimeet totally non-work 
prog, and the author poimeet mass absolutely foul language in 
his address (from this user). So today I start popetalsya

some program called "BRED_512". Do not think something bad, so 
mysterious the name of the author dubbed the level editor for

"Black Crow." So, the number of nerves that we spent at the 
same time, can only be compared with the amount of vodka drunk 
for the entire last year (what I mean?) Accordingly, the amount 
of foul language against author of the BRED-a (:)) has exceeded 
all reasonable predely.A problem was

the above-described glitch, which, incidentally, to avoid not 
just a very prosto.Eto done something like this: 


           LD B, 100, and may be less
LOOP PUSH BC

           LD BC, # FADF

           IN A, (C)

           CPL

           AND% 00000111

           CALL NZ, M_OFF

           POP BC

           DJNZ LOOP

           ...
M_OFF; here per cent, breaking

           The poll mouse


  Total 17 bytes - and the problem is gone! "Something like 
that used in the shell our zhurnala.Stavitsya this Mulk in

the beginning of the program, work out in front
starting the main bloka.A better yet put it already in the 
LOADER-e, then the procedure (;->>) M_OFF should make it clear 
to the loader, that after unpacking the need to disconnect 
survey of the mouse. 

  Now, to the holders of particular powerful
intelligence brief everlasting essence of the above progi.Vse 
simple - it 100 times polls port mouse buttons, and if at least 
once considered a number other than # FF, then This 
demonstrates the instability of mouse ports, and a survey it 
will be brutally (ruthlessly barbaric, well downright brutal) 
disabled. It is assumed that juzverej will not press the 
buttons during the boot (well and if - as a reward poimeet 
disabled myshu - Nehru poke fingers where no should be and when 
not!). By the way, the number of 100 (# 64 or% 01100100) is 
taken (as you might think from where?) Course from the ceiling. 
When desired number of repetitions cycle can install anything - 
from 2 to hell knows what values, even up to 10 ^ 64 (if you 
have enough patience organize a number of cycles). Once poll is 
not recommended - may be that just at this moment the port is # 
FF, and will glyuki.Esli someone does not have enough 
imagination to imagine how this looks like a bug, it can 
briefly describe it (emphasis on A !!!): cursor jumps wildly 
screen daily activities, including all fall under his will, and 
absolutely does not respond to attempts to control it.


  Someone may say: "hanged himself would
myshu and agreed to all the problems, and people nefig
shipping its bredyatinoy ...". My answer: it
not that I've got a mouse or not, I somehow myshu all available 
pathological prog zarezal.Delo already that I'm not the only 
one with such perverse computers and without myshi.Navernyaka 
there are people who also want poredaktit Raven Black, and 
break someone else's prog they can not because of his noble 
upbringing (;)). Add a few extra bytes in the program is not so 
difficult, why spoil the nerves of the few users who still have 
(I hope ...) for the Spectrum ... 

  The above procedure was tested on
all available to me myshoy companies with and without
her, and has a 100% guarantee rabochesti. Maybe this is not a 
masterpiece, but it works, and reliably.


  And said "BRED_512" I'm broke
(Sorry!!!), Myshu slaughtered, left to decide
let it free distribution or
No (it is still in the internet for a long time is
- Drop-I do not want).

  And odno.Kto I can explain why the REAL COMMANDER ruined my 
disc my favorite Mouzon, which I had so long and hard 
vyTASKival of all that is possible? This hrenovina somehow 
found it empty disk, and skopnula 500 sectors, starting with 
outset drive, scoring on that directory at the time were about 
three dozen faylov.Koroche, half Mouzon hvost.Mozhet flew under 
the cat, I'm a fool, and nifiga simply can not handle it

Commanderie?? Who has something to say
about it, write. Address under "Author".
