        Well, now little more about what you can read in
the first issue of ZX POWER.

        In the "Desktop":

        "The direct purpose of this utility - digitization of 
sound using the ADC for the DAC (or COVOX) ".


        "Shadow mikroassembler debugger ALASM v.2.8. Summary
features ... "

        Under the heading "LIKBEZ:

        "In an environment novice programmers constantly 
circulating rumors that someone managed to throw the screen in 
less than one interrupt. Understand, is it possible ?..."


        Under the heading "IRON":

        "It's about connecting to the IBM-Spectrum-native 
peripherals: multicards, internal modem, sound card, etc. 
Through multicards, in turn, IBM-connect-native: hard drive, 
mouse, printer, COVOX, external modem, 1.44 and 1.2 MB of disk 
drives, CD ROM, network adapter, etc. ... " 

        Under the heading "Miscellaneous":

        "Survived - and has already begun to appear on the

and fantastic and humorous stories you read in these and other 
headings of Kharkov Journal ZX POWER. And in the annex will be

Disassembler", written by Ukrainian programmers. Waiting for
