<b>Enlight'96</b> - Kano confronts foreheads creators of journals Spectrofon and ZX-Format.

   Several cross-cutting issues were
given to representatives of journal editors
"ZX-Format" (Andrew Rachkin, Maxim Romanov) and "SPECTROFON" 
(Yuri Matveev). In the role of reporter in a conversation took 
participation Andrei Isayev. A little later, the participants 
joined the call Max Iwamoto. 

KANO: Question wording "ZX-Format". What is your attitude to 
colleagues? 

RACHKIN: Normal ...

KANO: Have you tried to strike up friendships
relationship regarding the exchange of materials?

RACHKIN: Tried. Our close friend of Glory
Mednonogov contacted ...

KANO: I understand that Mednonogov no relation to the XL-DESIGN 
has? 

RACHKIN: Well, we are especially not in a hurry. So far we have 
just embarked on their feet ... 

KANO: A question to the Editor
"SPECTROFON". What were your impressions when you saw the first 
issue of "ZX-Format"? What did you say? You said - we're going 
to the Spectrum, or we do better?


MATVEEV: We have not said that either.
Let everyone does their job. And if they decide to write a 
better wrapper for the magazine - it can only

welcome.

KANO: Well, I know such innovations in your
magazine, which I have not seen in the "ZX-Format" ...

RACHKIN: For example?

KANO: sprites, for example in articles ... You
it is?

RACHKIN: Yes.

KANO: At what rates?

RACHKIN: All rooms ...

KANO: I have not seen. A mnogofontovost? 64
concrete symbol in a row, for example ...

RACHKIN: Yes. But the 64 characters - it's inconvenient to 
read. We use 42 characters, 32 characters ...


KANO: A question to all - what do you think
Protection, which stands on your journals.
Against whom is it directed?

MATVEEV: We would have removed protection from the magazine if 
they were confident that a new issue will pay off ... But the 
reality does not allow to do so. A defense costs from 
non-professional burglars ... 

KANO: Go to "Format" question. You have protection
generally very steep, which ever
was. There and "Amiga" is provided, the mixed sector, different 
length tracks. As you reached such a life?


RACHKIN: We Came to the point of life is very
just ...

KANO: In St. Petersburg a lot of hackers?

RACHKIN: It's not even that. Just in St. Petersburg people like 
her - can be negotiated. 

MATVEEV: You can highlight one point? No
doubt - protecting the "format" is steeper than
to "spectrophone. But ... rate of appearance of the "Format" in 
Moscow and spectrophone in 

Peter is the same ... The question - which is the
energy? Is it not better to send it to the content of the 
articles? 

RACHKIN: In this note, I absolutely agree.
Protection, we also would have removed. After all, there
certain contingent of users who are unable to read "format"
for protection. But this depends not only on
us, because we do not focus on outdated computers.

KANO: Why do not you organize a subscription?

RACHKIN: It's all in the plans.

KANO: Why not a magazine more often?

RACHKIN: Is it possible and more often, in theory ...



ROMANOV: It is theoretically possible, if readers will be 
proactive and send any materials. 

KANO: So you're interested in lamerskie
letters like: "Help disketirovat
toy in Basic?

ROMANOV: Not only ... For example, a person
runs the game and wrote the description ...

MAX IWAMOTO: The only thing we would like
that would be in the magazine were the most recent
program ... What would it have been interesting
article. A recent program has only
us. More from anyone they do not ...

KANO: At least branded games ...
Recent company.

MAX IWAMOTO: Now a lot of left
versions of the games. With the left pictures, music.



What we do - collect only a genuine
version. Only with original music, with
original screen saver. People want a new
toys - now you need to collect copyright
program ...
