(C) UnBEL! EVER ^ XTM

Software lately, as it were diminished, so that
speak plainly about. By this, the present review will
ever completely chaotic, diverse, and at the same time
it's not that short, but not such a volume:)

Before I had time to BD # 0B hint about gfx with DOXY'98, as 
there collections of the most graphic, and as in the past, and 
for This year at once. Worked hard on our good friends from the 
group 4D, that leads to pernicious ideas - from the bourgeoisie 
that forces remained, to make a primitive viewer works with the 
party itself?? All is What then 20 pictures? This is for you, 
sorry, do not E'97 with 150 works that cock in one memory 
zapakuesh. 

From the same DOXYCON'a received two demo of the second and 
third place (see the results in BD # 0B). A sick fan

of bourgeois demomeykinga I even diskofitsiroval this stool with
elements of the package. So you can safely look for in network 
and markets of their cities:



             MINDCONTROL CLONe

         (C) CRAZYTRONIC'99 (C) ZERO TEAM'99

        Size: 529 sectors Size: 47 sectors

Talking about the content of these demos I absolutely do not 
want to, so protect from uncontrolled eruptions of various 
liquids on the screen. CLONe somewhat more interesting - 
although there some effects have ... Besides propaganda BORN 
DEAD'a! :) Still, there are two 4k intro, the first (4K INTRO) 
and last (ZOOOOOM) place, respectively ... Well In general, not 
a sight for the faint of heart ... Almost the same situation 
with the level of work on PHAT9. Both the demo work: CRAPMO-2 
by Yerzmyey and BoA by Raww Ars have virtually no right to 
exist. The first general written in BASIC'e, well, a second, 
though sometimes causes a no interest, but clearly not 
something that we all lacked. Yes and the size of BoA with 16k 
intro (my version of the disc - 62 sector) as well, and CLONe 
... I do not want to say that the demo should necessarily take 
a lot of disk space, but not in vain exists separately such a 
thing as 16K intro?! 

Work with other party in the past too methodically to do, but
look at them like less and less. More precisely, we look
almost at that - of all as the finger to suck,
and from the same, but still ... Although there is a demo, about
which can not fail to mention! Of course, this


                              NAPALM

                 DI: HALT: 99 democompo 1-st place

                          party version

                    (C) ETERNITY INDUSTRY'99

                       SIZE: 717 sectors

I just could not get in today's review by this new
demo-operation from the very probably productive of the Russian 
group. NAPALM's first this year, indeed, a revolutionary

work for the sake of what was worth all this time to live ... 
Fundamentally new style for the Spectrum itself demo is taken 
from the Amiga / Pc, where such things are now predominant. 
From the first seconds you brought down the mighty world of 
modern 3D effects, which did will not let go until the very 
end, and only podgruzki will give opportunity to relax a 
little. It is not excluded that you all not impressed, since 
there are no scenes of sexual aggression, drinking 7 * UP'a or 
damage pastry on the faces of people out there no. And 
especially not in NAPALM'e dancing ARTY! All demo it is 100% 
without any impurity effects animation, well, almost without 
the slightest ... 

You can endlessly argue against NAPALM'a as
demos chunk'ov how technology and 3D as the theme for the 
effects. Yes, we still remember well the good old days of 
scrolls, Multicolor stripes and digital sound. All this was good

but in the past. Time to open your eyes to the present and then
even the blind will be obvious that with the release of 
NAPALM'a SPECTRUM moves another step forward on the road as his 
death, and to his greatness.


Say that the new job Eternity Industry - SUXX, can only
those fatcat pseudo-sceners who themselves even to the level of 
blizko these effects can not come up. However, a loyal friend - 
a work as NAPALM, should be the sole and repeat

develop or improve in this area has demomeykinge
sense. "Net" effects will be good for the first time, but
Their second appearance, unsupported by any meaningful
will only lead to very negative results. It is like
my opinion, although it is possible that ...

                                ... You behind the scenes for 5 
years! 

                                                       Arty / DR

By the way, you'll see much faster NAPALM, especially graphics
Paracels'a, which was used in this demo, if you look
it from start to finish on a black and white monitor. That is, 
in those original conditions, which was established for this 
work ... 


                             DEVOTION

                  CAFe'99 democompo 1-st place

                          final version

                        (C) ANTARES'98-99

                      SIZE: 889 sectors

Not quite flattered, I said on last ANTARES'ov
newspaper, and how would have their reasons. However, now
DEVOTION when finally assembled and distributed across the 
country, I had a few change their minds.


I will not here describe in detail where you are coming in that 
same demo. Surely everyone can find and watch DEVOTION, making 
at that their own conclusions. However, one thing is clear - 
the demo turned out good. After leaving not so far from the 
level of effects and "Semantic" load a previous work (ECSTATIC 
DUB), ANTARES'ovtsy created a natural example of a purely 
Spectrum demo, with high-quality color graphics, uncomplicated 
and easy listening to music, and good old-effects. This is just

what awaited tired chunk'ovymi bump'ami fans
classical demomacking'a. Well, all graphics FIL'a led
I have a deep admiration!

NAPALM and DEVOTION, as it were two poles in demostroenii, and 
it was would be very nice to see them on a party and see what

more people would have liked. And that, at that party were
ANAMNESIS and JAM, and the same 63 bit 3 / 4 .... That would be 
compo! It's a pity only that the number of deer do not 
understand: ( 

In contrast, high-quality demo surveyed for something more
another example here is a useful softiny as


                      USER FILTERS V.002 ALFA

                            (+11 Filters)


                           (C) SYNDROM'99


            Size: 13 (shell) + 25 (filters) sectors

Very, very simply decorated program that is designed to
all sorts of perverted over the images. The main span is
only for loading and recording images and the actual activation
filters. There is also a function UNDO. All the same malice 
lurking in modules with extension "F", which are separately

written by utilities, it is and deal with all distorted. Well,
In general, modular architecture, such as an open system. The 
truth here no explanation on how to write and attach their 
filters (at sense, memory allocation, and in general) is not 
given. And it is not surprising, since the program obviously 
home version and for distribution was not intended.


Filters, and their 11 different pieces, all different, and the 
farm is quite suitable. From simple shifts and turns to a very

original effects, which are words to describe it is very 
difficult. Published in due time OBERON'e # 5 program SSO, as 
well well then sorry, a small number of filters available in 
Excess DeLuxe Paint (demo), now is more than compensated. It 
would be desirable only hope that the authors do not will throw 
the case and will bring the program to logical end and the end 
user in a more convenient and complete form.


-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Oddly, but increased post-party activity in the media
media is observed. Although, perhaps, just everything
write pushut and write ... While you can only talk about the 
exit KrNews # 10, # 9 Polesie and three rooms NICRON'a - 
110/111/112. The latter, incidentally, is devoted exclusively 
to the Review CC'999 photographs of the famous, and in their 
original Bulchukeevskom style. Well, in the 113-ohm NICRON'e 
already reports from the CAFe'99 ...


In Samara did not hacked, not just morally
outdated, but still logs - ZX POWER # 3, VOYAGER # 3
MIRACLE # 3. About the first I have in the room you love to 
confess, and second in general, as the journal, the thing is 
ambiguous. It seems like there is what to read, but as you look 
closer .... However, speaking as flagship computer enthusiasts 
PROFI - this edition justifies its purpose. That's just a shame 
that people are absolutely not learn, even at their own 
mistakes! Again in the journal all spoils Kempston mouse, which 
is enabled by default. Switch off it certainly can press during 
the intro one, according to authors, it is quite natural key. 
That's just to learn about this key and the very possibility of 
disabling the mouse can be from the very magazine, which, of 
course, no shit will not work if this the mouse itself on your 
machine there. A vicious circle! Or authors it seems that all 
such mozgany and find themselves mute button This nasty 
rodent?? Generally, I came up with a brilliant idea protection 
on the basis of the mouse! Will work perfectly on all machines 
where this device is not implemented. Delatite simple: take a 
protected program inserts a very zaglyuchenny mouse driver and

doing it by default enabled. Everything! For the same money will
sell that combination of buttons that the mouse otlyuchaet!
Absurdity ....

By the way, here's a program that from the annex to this
most VOYAGER'u:


                       TEXT UTILITY v2.8 +

                       (C) Doctor Dash'99


                        Size: 21 Sector

Softina like thin, but life is very useful -
converter of texts from one end of the marker lines (# 0D, # 
0A, # 0D / # 0A) in any of the other possible standards. Prior 
to that, the world enjoyed the previous version (1.1) which is 
just as publikovlas application to one of the rooms VOYAGER'a. 
Well, some individuals advanced comrades generally used for 
these purposes assembler, in which each time have written a 
small piece of code. 

See a new version of this program was like a double pleasure,
since in the process of creating BORN DEAD'a occasionally come 
across very unhealthy texts that need to quickly bring to

state # OD / # OA, and according to this, TEXTUT we enjoyed, 
using and will be used. Well, what the user gets?? The new

version has it all: built-in viewer, a breakdown of the text on 
the line more inhibitory control, naipolneyshaya information

directory of the CD with errors in simple English words. How 
would everything in its place - no one only - to work properly!

Therefore, using TEXT UTILITY any version ...


                             REMEMBER!

... That the processing of text, more than 16Kbayt, the output
file strictly through 16384 bytes from the beginning you will 
find very an interesting character with code "0", which earlier 
in your text has not been noticed, and indeed to the symbols in 
the usual way text files, has nothing to do! The conclusion 
from this one, did program - use it to at least learn how it is 
buggy! 

-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Here is another phenomenon of our time - frivarnye reading room 
and the system to create magazines / newspapers generate dozens 
of new publications. AND is a completely innocuous children 
become publishers "Polesie" with them forever glyuchaschey 
KEMPSTON mouse ... These gods for able to write "in Russian, 
but do not know assembly, steel The authors of Page / Text 
Maker. And how can we not recall with KAN0 him famous: "In this 
country everyone loves to just write ..." 

Various publications under the authority of the above-mentioned 
shell appeared so much that I just can not right now

list all names. And, as expected,
woke up that same is not occupied in the overall mass of users,
which is ready to write about anything and not for others. 
However, the most interesting in the other - what a shell is 
and the newspaper / magazine! AND here's a great example that 
characterizes this statement. 


                              FANAT # 1

                         (C) MELTED SNOW


                      Size: 649 sectors

A new electronic journal from the city .... Carpet! Let all the 
swelling envious, but in a small provincial town could still

squeeze out one more electronic edition, with
continuing to produce the light and others.

The orientation of the magazine and its format is new to the 
Spectrum. Author argues that this "magazine without censorship 
for enthusiastic young people," at the time, it seemed to me 
that this publication doth make "Emulyatorschikom" and focused 
on the same "emulyatorschikov. Is this good or bad, certainly 
not up to me, but degradation I think, is obvious. By the way, 
do not be afraid of the lack of censorship, as shown by the 
experimental reading, nothing like that obscene what was, for 
example, in the same HERESY # 1, you do not found in FANAT'e 
... In short, the publication in its original, find and read it 
does not interfere with each, and Here you'll be pleased with 
this most content is already another question! By the way, the 
rest of the disk, appended so-called "Application" which the 
bulk of its oriented PC!!! Is not that original?? , (



                          FANAT # 1 '# 2

                          (C) ICE GROUP


                     Size: 115/121 Sector

But that does not really original, so it is to publish more and
newspaper with the same name and same reader. And I
it seems it's not a coincidence! Just wretchedness surrounding
authors apparently leaves its mark as the name,
as well as to the content.

FANS newspaper published in Dimitrovgrad and is made 
specifically for enlightenment local spektrumistov of modems 
and networks. Free space in the newspaper is filled with 
diverse and very funny nonsense. Particularly instructive about 
the product DEMON'a dangers of drugs and substances similar to 
them. But against vodka DEMON has nothing! I remember that junk 
in pyanku dorm, which I somehow got ... Case that

Marshal Dimitrovgrad spektrumistov - FIDGET - no longer
the first year of hanging out in Samara, ostensibly to get 
knowledge in the institute. But in his spare time he makes 
forays into the local spektrumistov in order to devour / stock 
up on software, and sometimes arranges such here 
vodka-pyanstvovaniya. Appearing in Dimitrovgrad, on vacation, 
FIGET shakes the local people as well as the duration of the 
summer vacation was great, the people rastryassya and this 
begat a newspaper. 

In short, the publication recommended that fans of plain and
obscene text. I hope that I personally until the third number 
is not live to see it!


-------------------------------------------------- -------------
Well, at bedtime, I would venture to describe to you, dear 
readers, really nice edition, which appeared recently. This

most perfect justifies its name


                          PSYCHOZ # 1-3

                         (C) TRIUMPH'99


                     Size: 500 sectors

So what happens if we take all the darkest and nezdrovoe of BORN
DEAD'a one usushenny MIRACLE # 3, so we add to this a bit
HERESY, stirring heat to simmer, and pour
dye to taste!? Here it goes out - utter
Psychosis! There simply must understand one thing: "If the deal 
took IRONMAN, then there is nothing to healthy does not work, 
no matter how cool. "On the one hand, PSYCHOZ not add to your 
skill, but on the other ...


What is this newspaper? Well, in appearance (# 2)
like HERESY, but the color! On the content - MIRACLE # 3, at
As in the chase IRON'a and reprints of PTYuCh'a ... Well, in
Otherwise, clearly felt sepulchral breath of our modest
Combat sheet:)

Would not want to pre-praise, but I personally almost daily
liked (at least # 2 which I caught the first). As
least one of the few electronic editions after SCENERGY and
MIRACLE # 3 that I read, though not with such interest, but from
beginning to end. And this despite all sorts of different bugs 
and glitches in the still emerging only a shell of the 
newspaper (it's hard to read texts, where instead of a comma is 
the point!). 

The greatest pain give the newspaper of course texts and
Music from IRONMAN'a. "It's just a fact .... shame (ecstasy),
not without the jitteriness to start I'd say. Can this 
nonsense, I not very long ago used to read! Well, music from 
"Iron" has always been unconventionally advanced.


In general, see Psychosis, turn layers, swallow with decyl 
yellow and will clean cool lads:)




                             HERESY # 3

                         (C) DEMIURGE ASH

                        Size: 801 Sector

Third issue without delay to wait. Maybe with time
Newspaper and lapse of the first issue, but high-quality zoom in
Ash'a is always! Here and there, again he does not sleep either
Arty, nor the organizers of the DI: HALT'a, not even his former
tribesmen - Enternity Industry ... In truth Bezbashenny
Comrade!

The most evil of the whole newspaper - is the initial intra. 
Further it is already possible nothing to read - the intro says 
it all. Not that as part of supplement to the newspaper, not 
just with her subject demo buduyuschey amusing logical game and 
a new (2.1) Modern version Word'a. That's all I do not have 
enough space to write, but it is necessary - all BORN DEAD 
written from start to finish in the Modern Word'e! And if 
you're someone said that BD is in WinWord'e, WordStar'e, DN 
Editor'e, LEXICON'e or anything else - safely spit in his face!




                         DEMO OR DIE # 2

                           (C) SCENE

                   SIZE: 1005 853 sector

And then, when the entire review has been completed, in light 
of his second issue for young demomeykerov. What is there in 
the magazine interesting? Well here we must first know what the 
most interests you, dear reader? If you wanted to read the 
entire life interview with the creator of the language "C" or 
learn how everything is right play QUAKE, then DOD # 2 most 
likely you will like it! Neprodvinutye in demomacking'e 
comrades certainly looks become familiar with a whole selection 
of materials to create various effects, the benefit in this 
room except the words, there is also deal - sources.


Application again, not bleschit - where all the Scene 
Photoshop'y obyaschali that since the first issue? It is true I 
personally was glad to found on the disk with the journal Lazy 
Pack v2.0, but it appeared that during the release of this 
program in the world, it is hopelessly outdated and does not 
stand any competition with Laser Compact v4.0/5.0 no for easy 
interface, no quality package. But, say to me the authors of 
the journal, in our application, there is a steep Editor 
Digital music - DIGITAL DESIGNER. It is nice to more, it 
becomes a good tradition to release a new version The editor 
for each number DOD'a. That's why only about D. DESIGNER this 
was not a word in the magazine?? Or he is not part of the 
application?? 

In general, do not be surprised that the total amount of all 
the texts of the journal equal to the volume of material on 
QUAKE'u, and can be slightly more than one number BORN DEAD'a. 
"So is it worth doing separate log? "- for the hundredth time I 
ask, why for example, by the same authors DOD'a not subscribe 
to conduct pages of coding in which some major magazines, such 
as SCENERGY. Both the magazine will get very interesting, and 
forces need to spend on its publication much less. Co-operation 
....!
