SPbZXNet

Network News - MMD v4.00 - tested on the BBS, gate SpbZxNet <=> Internet is gaining momentum.

 MAS continues to test his MMD
4.00. Several people strongly "yuzayut"
program, and the entire network looks after them
observes. ;) Although the "prog" finally
completed, the most impatient MAS is ready it
sell. Those interested - please contact him directly.
 For those who do not know: MMD 4.00 a
programmable terminal program. Then
is all you had to do
manually - dial up BBS, enter
password, download email and ekhi etc.
automatically! At that time, as
your computer "sucks" with a new number ASPECT'a BBS, you can 
safely snuffle in his bed. ;) In principle, when all

network nodes installed a new system
network life much easier. :)
Poor sysops will not have to for an hour
dial in to the hub for the mail - for them
this will make the MMD 4.00. :) Well, for simple
users generally come paradise. :) Just want to
remember: if you want to fully utilize MMD 4.00, set the modem 
to "can" dial! If you have XTR All problemma gun disappear, and 
if You "naked" ViComm, either immediately buy

XTR, or make up the weight on a special modem
Gadgets. Scheme is one of the options
this device was published in the newspaper
ZX News # 15.

 The network introduced another innovation. Now ekhi lie on the 
BBS is not a single archive, and individual ZIP-packages, 
according to the principle: one file - an echo. Convenience is 
evident - now You can "merge" ekhi only those who

You Interso. But also there and inconvenience - if you have 
remains on disk, for example, yesterday's mail, ZXUNZIP 
unpacking bestrasstno writes "File exists!" And you have to 
enter the new name of the file. Summary: Do not hold on drives 
an old post. 

 Gate Internet <=> SPbZXNet sly
"Picks up speed. More or less was adjusted
Moving mail from other ZX Net. In ehokonferentsiyah constantly 
hangs sinkleristy from other cities, and all take it

granted. :) Arty (from Digital Reality)
simply does not get out SPBZXNET.DRINK. ;)))
 Theoretically, in a short time each
SPbZXNet user will be able to write on the Internet and get out
letter. That is, in fact, receive his
e-mail!!!

 Doprygalis, gentlemen networkers! In some BBS'kah our vast 
network of steel appear remarks commercial programs, adapting a 
map GENERAL SOUND. What do have shady characters, such as 
laying out "Prog" on their station? And they have

quite a natural reaction of people who
involved in adapting games under GS. Mike
Blum (from ZX-MASTERS) ceased production
VULNERABLE adapted versions of "toys"! Also, any subsequent 
modifications will be calculated at GENERAL SOUND with RAM 512K.

 Well, gentlemen, comrades, we will chop bitches
on which we sit? : (

 Perhaps in the near future will
Alternative SMM. LD (from X-TRADE) recently
presented his new program - Echo
Viewer. At the moment this "prog"
lets just see what ehokonferentsii. The program is quite handy, 
51 character the line does not hurt your eyes in contrast to 
SMM, block letters are highlighted, so that

read your mail by using this program is quite nice. :) 
According to the author, perhaps in the future, this viewer 
will become a full-featured mail editor. Well,

will wait. :)
 But this program is not the only "ehovyuver. There is also 
SPbZXNet Mail Viewer, written in Petrograd encoder Jaroslav 
Kozlov. He recently finished SPB_MV version 2.00, which 
appeared some new regimes. The author has kindly provided

us his program, and you can find it in
application. :) I think that it would not be superfluous in
your bank's network software. :)

 Vyacheslav Mednonogov started to develop the second part of 
the bestseller "Black Crow". According to him, this heroic step 
it pushed a new game PTseshnaya - "Star Craft". :) In the 
second part you will meet all of the same military truck, but 
the action will occur not in the Middle Ages

And in the future. About antediluvian catapult
can forget - now you have so
also skillfully managed the antiaircraft guns, fighting off the 
air kung! :))) Well, wait - Do not wait for part two! 
Presumably, it will be ready no earlier than October months.


 Creative team DISCOVERY, that is us;), soon to be released a 
new dial-up game - chess (we briefly talked about its last 
issue). In fact, it was assumed that GAMBIT, namely the 
so-called, our program will be annexed to the this number 
ASPECT'a. But it did not.: ( Now we are making every effort to

finish the game to the tenth number. In fact,
Indeed, the game is at 90%. :) It remains to finish some of the 
interface and thorough test program. So what

lets do this "prog":
 1. Play chess on the modem. :) You, sitting in his favorite 
chair, you can fight in the world's oldest game with his 
friends living in the other end of town. :)  2. At any moment 
in any game mode, get a hint for use by all

"Button" and regimes. If you are still very "green" player, the 
program tells you how to walk one or another figure.  3. Save 
to disk and, accordingly, load the game.

 4. See the whole lot. During the game
all your moves and the opponent's moves Program
remembers. Then, during battle, or
Conversely, in between battles, you
can "browse" the whole battle front.
 5. Torn terminal. :)

 Also is supposed to implement one arhiinteresneyshy regime, 
but until I disclose our cards - let it be

a surprise. :)
 As you know, we DISCOVER'ovtsy already
played in GAMBIT. Although my opinion, of course, can not be, 
in this issue objective, I declare that this Samyang "cool" 
dial-up game on ZX! :))) 

 By the way, is supposed to release a version
GAMBIT'a supporting GENERAL SOUND. :)
Mike Blum - Chief GENERAL'izator all
times and people;), agreed to produce
over our game a kind of "plastic surgery". :) Now we are 
waiting for feedback from you, Owners of computers with GS. 
Tell me, have You mean? And then the person will be plugging 
away, wasting your time, and that will be a game need only a 
pair of users. Do not be lazy and Contact us! :)


P.S. For those who forgot: GAMBIT will be distributed free of 
charge! :)
