<b>News</b> - an overview of the computer press.

    Today we will tell you about the two computer
magazines published in Russia and no doubt
noteworthy, since new on
"SPECCY" - a kind of event.

    So in our field of view of Luhansk and
Chelyabinsk with their journals for
Spectrum-compatible computers ...

    Ukraine, like Russia, but surely
working in the field of Spectrum, thank God, so far
even in Russian or in the worst case
English. That's the news from a distant Lugansk -
Russian-language magazine "ZX-NEWS" (the title only
leads). In general - impression of the magazine -
good. Just look cool like
"Spectrophone. On this occasion, the truth brought
an apology from the authors of the journal "ZX-NEWS" edition
"Spectrophone" for the use of some ideas
schedule and service.

    Released the "ZX-NEWS" Lugansk group under
entitled "ACTION GROUP" in the face of a programmer
Klubov Vladimir and his teammate Burlachenko
Novel. Well, of course, in the intro of the journal
was listed copyright "GALAXY" which is familiar to you by
to the same "48-IRON" ... Looking ahead, we want to
say that the guys from the Ukraine made profitable
decision of his publications: Branded version is equipped with
application on paper, where there description
two games, a collection of utility commands "ADM" and
assembly code of the music demos
"YES DEMO".

    That's it for "YES DEMO" and should pay
special attention to those who wish to learn
program in assembly language and can not
learn the specifics of programming in spite of the
too clever book INFORKOMA "giving the notion of
on the basics, but difficult to understand for Dummies, y
which were then-else and the drive does not wish to
work under the tape `SAVE" "CODE ', and
requiring "RANDOMIZE USR 15619 ...". "YES DEMO" -
complete program - muzykalka with
numerous effects, it is literally a thorough
dismantled on the shelves: what, where and how. And to
It shall be accompanied not only the description and the text, 
but all associated files: the screen in two kinds of

(Regular and compressed), harvesting sprites
as a screen recoder screen sprite
format, ready to table sprite file object
code and that the same file in a text format, ready
code block, and recommendations for combining it into
BASIC-single file ... In short, we can first
design of prefabricated "building blocks" and then,
sorting out what's what, to try yourself
create these building blocks and put them out
result.

    In conclusion, we present the editorial office
"ZX-NEWS", for those who wish to receive this magazine. True, 
we do not assume any liability for advertising, because we do 
it ourselves, or rather have an address from the magazine 
"ZX-NEWS": 248033 UKRAINE. Lugansk: kv.ShEVChENKO.

    Now about another journal, which is
the proud name of "SPECCY" and is produced in the Urals
Chelyabinsk-known programmer
NV Velichutinym, author of "ANIMATOR'a and other
useful programs, as well as mythical
scanner for "SPECTRUM", which unfortunately
yet none of all of our friends have not seen and not
able to appreciate ... But on the scanner in
another time, and now talking about the magazine.

    Unfortunately, to say about "SPECCY" no
good or bad you can not. Probably number one
intended as a signal and he came to us
slightly "bruised" other drive, which, incidentally, is not
prevented it to restore the pristine glory. In
its application contains a pair of rollers
created a new version of "ANIMATORa" and "the teacher" in
creating a beautiful display of text and screen saver windows
reports on the assembly. In addition, many
good graphics and text. Would be desirable to see
on the following numbers, as Considering his talent
author, you can expect something very interesting in their own, 
treasured ...
