           PREMIER



   Today we open our
Journal of a new section. It will
called the "Premier". In this
section, we present
new software development of our domestic programming.



   So today we offer
Here is a short program called

"NOTEBOOK". Word - author.
  Egorov, Andrey G.



           NOTEBOOK


         1995, AGE'EGA.



   Imagine your court his
aaplet. I think that everyone who not only plays on
Spectrum, there is some amount of small items can set up their 
own hands and "chokes hole" in the software ensure that it has. 
It is because of just such items can and popped something more 
or less brought to mind and was later called "NOTEBOOK"

("Notebook").



   This work is in contrast to
more complex "Masterfile" and
"Notebook" iS-DOS does not require a multivolume study of
instructions, does not ask you
What yesterday was the number, pressing the fact
Thus, on the psyche, but simply
honest work.


   The main thing - it's easy to use and speed of access to 
information, although it was judged You.



   The most important thing: this program
- A notebook, and it is not necessary
try to shove it "War
and peace. "It is designed only to
28,000 characters, including utilities.



   After starting the main menu
will offer you options:


   Read

   Record

   Clear

   Disc

   Exit


   Now, in order:

Control keys: Sinclair
joystick, mouse, QAOPM.


   The "Read":


   You are invited to choose
font (Rus / Eng.), although this only applies to the initial 
letter name unknown data. Then you choose the correct letters 
in the right of the screen, a window appears with

list of names.


   Further work control keys - all in your hands.
Key "right", "left" shift record names of 19 items
up - down. Key "up"
"Down" - the usual scrolling on
one position. To exit this mode "EDIT".


   The "Record":


   Immediately after you select you will see
sub-editor, which for
Requests began to choose a font. You must then enter the name of
that in the future you will
find the desired information. Next
at your disposal text editor window, although the title 
"editor" - too loud: how such full-fledged editor

there is simply no.



   This option allows you to dial
the text of the two fonts that
can be switched, leaving the sub key "EXT MODE". Each
line ends with pressing
"ENTER" to traditional text string, or "GRAPH", if you want
that the line was centered.
Key "DELETE" operates within a single row. Insert mode in the 
editor is missing. 


   Typed text, go to the menu editor, select the
"Burn" and your data is entered
in memory (but not on CD!). If
select "Exit" without an appointment, then typed
the text is not preserved. After you select "Record", you can 
again choose a font and make the following record.




   When all typed and recorded
in memory, go to the initial
menu and, if you want to save data to disk, choose the
the option "disc". The only thing that
asks you for a computer: Yes
Does the drive disk with the file
"Notebook". If yes, then go ahead
press "Y" and not
asking you - advised
Whether you are with your neighbor about this,
Computer zaneset your changes to disk file "notebook"
without changing its size and location
on the disk. Pressing any other
button will return you to the initial
menu. Issued and the message
error in the event of
such that it can, in some
cases, to destroy the image below
windows, but not the program itself.
So in this situation do not panic, all intact. Eliminate
error, and resubmit the record.

   Feature editor:


   When entering the name, the editor automatically makes the 
first letter capital, and if instead of the first

letters introduced the character with code
less than # 40, it will be perceived
like "@". From the square, curly
brackets to begin the name does not recommend that the 
information will remain, but not for you, and destroy it will 
be possible only by erasing everything. 


   The "Clear":


   Your choice of:


   delete 1 record

   delete all

   exit to main menu


   The last two options are so
simple, that defy description.

   The first - all in reading,
Only the red lantern
top of the screen. Erased
only one record, you
chosen, followed by a return to the
main menu. So if you
decided to delete multiple records
- Will "pokuvyrkatsya" through
main menu, although it has to do not so often.


   After the destruction of a single record data in a computer 
are automatically compacted and this place free for subsequent 
entries. 


   The presence of free space
can be found by pressing
"EDIT" in the main menu.



   On your tactical mistakes
You inform the red
stop, with the corresponding
inscriptions, or yellow and green
lights indicating the opposite.


   And one more little thing: what will happen
if one letter score more
236 names - I do not know, but there is
this need?

"S": We liked the program
our correspondent. Hope
that it will be useful to our readers. We are grateful
authors-creators of this program.


   Another program, which
You will find in the annex, called "COLOR LINES", it sent us a 
firm "SURDAKAR" from the city of Rybinsk. I must say that the 
original appearance of this program the IBM PC caused a storm

delight of fans of logical
games. Firm "GAMOS", which released
this program continued the glorious traditions of the 
unforgettable "TETRISa".



   As you know, all brilliant
- Simple. So in this game -
you will need to put in a series
five balls of one color, then
What "color line" disappears, and
you get points.



   With each move the playing field
filled with randomly
new colored balls. Disassemble the rubble is not easy,
here we must carefully consider every move. The smallest error
- And an avalanche of color covers the entire
field, locking you in close corridors and limiting, thereby
room to maneuver.


   Rybinsk version of the game "COLOR
LINES "demonstrates
that this kind of game is completely under
force and Speccy. In the demo version, published in
"Supplement" game is broken into
several levels, which in our
view, too. Although new players are, perhaps,
helpful.



   The authors have promised to provide
us and the full version of "COLOR
LINES "for the Speccy. We can not wait.



            - - -



   What can the Speccy, if thereto
connect the scanner? What to do with
the pictures? Next work clearly demonstrates this. We offer you 
a job Pantin, VA and S. Shilyaeva of Vologda.
