Mosaic - UFO-2 circulated in Moscow. A small note on Alex-BBS.

                 MOSAIC

   Today, I am, as promised, continued the theme begun by letter
JOKER'a and my postscript to it in the last issue of ON-LINE.


   We begin with the "hot" - UFO-2. My version, hacked VIRTUAL 
BROTHERS and for some reason I seem to have JOKER'a too ... 
Unfortunately, I have not had time to thoroughly test it, but I 
noticed that it is impossible to read in the encyclopedia 
section "about this game ...", all the action takes place in 
February and several times the game hangs after I shot down a 
UFO (based on everything on the disc no maps of some objects). 
But by According TITUS'a, who spent the game long enough,

glitches in the game much more than evident at first glance that
most unpleasant, the game can not go, she's just unfinished ... 
Last I heard from other sources. So, I do not would suggest so 
pleased "to the publication of" UFO-2, and users wish to at 
least humor relate to advertising new games ... By the way, 
have access, look in FIDONET, there certainly a lot of 
information on this subject, it is no secret the same indeed, 
Glory Mednonogov that released the beta version, it is it would 
be "bad" ... 


   More ... I do not understand what so many did not like the 
discussion of the video processor. All the same, not every day 
in the pages ON-LINE occur long debate in several editions. 
Although sorry, of course, that they have not joined the people 
really versed in the subject matter and discussion, in the end,

Timeout not practical, but rather on ethical issues ... A
That's what I do not agree with is our helplessness in "doing 
the weather on the market of iron." Ultimately, development and 
popularity of a "glands" depends on us, users and programmers. 
And where else to discuss similar questions, if not in the 
computer press, and not online? Not scroll same musical 
demonstrations. And here ON-LINE as computer publication is not 
in last place.

   Small tip about the work of ALEX BBS.


   Gentlemen, when communicating via the phone line listen, if 
you do not meet C-DOS modem, then call back in an hour. 


   The fact that e-mail from the outside world was adopted more 
quickly and a higher priority than the pumping Freestuff toys 
(who were on my server is almost never occurs). And I do not I 
can ignore the requirement to post the top station. All the 
more so for information storage are charged separately. 


   Incidentally, this also applies to calls to other stations. 
Many call from the modem is not on schedule, and when angry 
sysop or their relatives off hook, the line is a modem signal 
to the user, do not even bother to listen to what is happening 
at the other end.                          ALEX (Research)
