   Hello, again. By this number, Buzz, I again naryl for
You have a couple of new software programs that would not hurt
describe, in order to bring you, our dear reader, up to date on
the creation of useful (and not) software programs. Not in vain
the authors try? So, enough bytes to waste, go-ka
we have to digest.


                      Modern WorD v1.00b

                      -----------------
                        (C) V. Eliseev

                   (C) 1998 Demiurge Ash / EI


   Personally, I was unspeakably happy appearance of the 
program (although I realized this only recently). This, as you 
may have guessed, the new version of the old and known to all 
ZX-Word'a, modified Demiurge Ash'em. While this is a beta 
version, but she already knows how to listen music in the 
process of writing the text, which can be optionally disabled. 
Speeding up printing of text, slightly modified design (the 
best), and I think now there is no bug with the MWD survey 
keyboard. I decided that because we have had in ZXWD stubbornly 
refused to press the right bracket - ')' - had enter the code, 
and now everything's just wonderful. And polzoModernWorD'om 
became much more pleasant. 

   But do not forget that this is only a beta version and exit
continuation of this excellent and necessary program in the 
offing. The next version of Demiurge Ash is planning to do a 
lot all nice things, we also help than we can. Unfortunately, 
this (Beta) version of the MWD is intended for internal use 
only, but the full version will be available to all. So expect 
to continue and watch application for Buzz;) 


                     Global Commander v1.1s

                     ---------------------
                   (C) Alex Kerman / Global Corp.


   The new commander, created Alex Kerman'om of Global Corp. Ot
other similar programs, it features a very high speed
work and a number of useful features. But first things first.

   Most importantly, perhaps, is most interested in any
Commander - is the buffer size for copying. So, hurry
report that in 128-m mode it is 423 sectors, which imho
very well. In the process of copying Cmdr first download put 
the files in the buffer, and then ask for a Drive them to 
merge. It is possible to copy files in the order their notes, 
which sometimes is very necessary, but for some reason is not 
implemented in many existing Commander. During disc changers 
(Which, incidentally, is automatically controlled by, using a 
RC method) checks the checksum of the last schtannogo (or 
recorded) sector, which avoids entanglement discs. Is a 
function of bonding files (as in Perfect Commander), but the PC 
does not have the function of cutting files, and GCom it is! It 
is also noteworthy original-made screen viewer - you metite 
pictures and then watch them in order of notes, moving to the 
next just by pressing ENTER. Convenient, is not Is it true? It 
is possible to view text files, but if in the process of 
copying or movleniya disc was used the entire buffer, this 
function is destroyed. 

   Future versions of the author intends to do:
√ installer with the settings;
√ Disk Doctor;
√ text editor;
√ formatter discs;
√ potrekovy copyist;
√ 'smth. else

   GCom v1.1s can be called one of the top commanders at the 
moment. We just wait for the release of new versions. Do you 
recommend should try GCom work. Suddenly it is the commander of 
your dreams. :) 


                       MacroAdapter v1.1

                       ----------------
                        (C) Magic Moon


   A very interesting program to create interlaced images (as 
they are called by the people). Wt so, converts the display 
file that the point is replaced by a shadow color. Principle of 
operation this effect is a constant change of the two screens - 
one, you downloaded, and the second created MAC'om. Its you, 
and can unsubscribe to disk and then use the interlace effect 
in their works by placing, for example, one image at nuleyvoy 
screen, and second - at first, and kept snapping these same 
screens an times in one int (something I clocked; vobschem will 
understand - There is nothing complicated).


   Download to wt picture, you can "adapt" it, look at the 
result, and then unsubscribe the second screen, if the result 
you like. I want to add: the effect of interlace looks very 
nice. 


                         ReTRiCK v1.3

                         -----------
                (C) Dr.Codex / Light Future Group


   And again antiprotekt, and again to my defense, and, of 
course, created Dr.Codex 'om, the author of a program such as 
DePAP, described in the last issue of Buzz. Now you can easily 
remove my defense called TRiCK v1.3beta, but in the case TRiCK

v2.000 programmulka you this will not help. I, as the author 
TRiCK, nice kind of attention to my program, but knowing 
Dr.Codex 'a personally, and being with him on friendly terms, I 
can only praise him for work done and for giving me an 
incentive to improve their protect'a. But those who are 
interested in the problem of protection on the Spectrum, the 
program should be like. 


   At this obzorchik system software is completed. Until next 
time on the pages of Buzz. C Ya!



                                         Sincerely, Alexander.
