Gate - Description Gheit SPbZXNet -> Fido, installed on Centronic Station: geytovanie SPbZXNet -> Fido, how it works and What is it.

                   GATE



                               From the Editor


  Yes, a nasty piece befallen ... The most interesting thing 
that no one noticed - the delirium that has been written about 
the gate in 22nd Newskah ... : (



  In general, the story is, and it proves once again that size 
ZxNews over 30-40 kb of text per week - this is me

one does not pull ...


  And it all is this. I have used in-board
there is a directory named
"Archive". It is a mountain of material "on
Future "that had accumulated during the existence of Newskah. 
They caught and draft articles, and no paper, and features know 
that some texts, extracts, fragments, in short, rubbish. Caught 
there as well and ready-formatted pages on

for some reason deferred to the future ...
When just starting gate saga,
I wrote an article Newskah how it all
likely to look. Since by
Top no gate, no one else knew
this is over, the article has appeared in
"Archive" - ​​do not throw the same ... :)


  Before exiting ZN22 I pulled out insolently
"Memo" the most FAQ on the work of the gate,
who has already thrown one into the inner
echo ... Well, designed as an article, a few words
add from myself ...


  When it came to linking ZN22, it turned out that the seats 
available for the FAQ on Gheit has not appeared, but the 
benefit is not such urgent information, as a continuation of 
the adventures Shtirlitsa:) I decided to put this article in 
the ZN23. Well, of course, "put" it in the "Archives" ...



  The rest - business equipment. ZN23 preparing for two days 
and two nights - Tuesday and Wednesday. On Wednesday evening, 
with the Reds after three hours of sleep eyes, I'm with a clear 
conscience insert the first article in Newskah and more to

It did not come back. Those who at least once in
Life edited 64 kb of text in two
day by hand, I understand ...


  Well, I - in a state of, uh,
close to the "zombies." But what about everyone else who 
Newskah read to link? After all, nobody even mentioned the word 
no! And only two weeks later the author geytovskogo software

reported "glitches". "Glitch" spodvig him to write a new FAQ, 
which is published and below ...



  That is because as it happens ...
