Program, which we choose - About noticed irregularities in some programs and suggestions for future versions.

    Now about the irregularities seen in some programs and 
suggestions to the following versions.



    ZX-WORD ver 2.5m. When formatting the text does not 
distinguish hyphen, dash, minus and hyphen. If the dash is the 
latest in a line, it is removed. 

    It would be advisable in this case
suspend formatting
and ask the user for permission for its removal.

    When you format text
remove empty lines that
sometimes specifically inserted
between paragraphs. To avoid this, before
formatting can be inserted
gap in each blank line
selection.

    Hangs when disk errors.

    When you load correctly identifies the absence of 
Kempston-way controller, but this and limited. Then begins to 
interrogate him and hangs in the simultaneous "pressed" all the 
buttons. 


   Ed.: Indeed, some incorrectly written programs do not work 
in the absence of Kempston-joystick. In this case, usually you 
have to manually delete the program team IN A, (31). But now 
there is utility "NO_KEMPSTON", which performs these steps 
automatically. With its help, "ZXWORD" corrected in a few 
seconds! 



    CONVER COMMANDER ver 4.22.
When sealing disk corrupts the zero track and saved on
80 copy of the directory path. If
is not a bug, but a way of protecting
against unauthorized copying, it's just indecent
with respect to the users. Y
I then came a persistent distrust of all of the following
versions CONVER. Such errors
should be identified at a stage
Copyright testing. And
for almost three-year fellowship with
CONVER COMMANDER ver 3.02R no
never had any trouble.



    McDONALD COPY ver 2.0. If
on the disk is bad sectors,
after recording "OLD CHECKSUM" drive source to fixate on
reading the same plot.



    XAS by Max Petrov. Would not prevent the command recover 
accidentally deleted line and the team mark of

rows for block operations. It would be nice to add the 
information at ZX-ASM 3 of the directive conditional

Broadcast on the use of
previous text name tags
allows you to create the library routines. Impeded
other directives of conditional compilation. Perhaps it makes 
sense provide a complete set of symbols of the Russian 
alphabet, which can be used in DEFM and DEFB. Editor XAS is 
very convenient and do not want to leave with his

something else.



    FIND EDIT FONT. Since the
It is now widely distributed decoder using the table top
symbols and codes # 00 - # 1F, has
sense to extend the editing window of up to 256 characters. 
When recording a font to provide the ability to save any number 
of characters.
