authoring program - Bestseller from Star - Player tunes.

     AUTHOR'S PROGRAMME


 Presents to readers
Two programs received by us
from the city of Chelyabinsk.

 The first program we have received from
is well known Simonenko
Maxim (MEGATRON) and Monakhov
George, he's LGB Software, he
well-known writer, he also
humorist and finally he -
programmer.

The program "BESTSELLER FROM STAR"
designed for playing
compiled tunes created in any of the popular in
Currently, music
Editors (SAUND TRACKER, PRO
TRACKER and ASM).

 Unlike the first version
program, which was
published the second issue
magazine, submitted version
corrected some mistakes
improved external design and
most importantly, added new
possibilities: play melodies
created by PRO TRACKERE.

 The program automatically determines which of the editors was
made melody, displays
message about the author of music and its
name. If you try
download a file which has nothing
to do with music, then read
understandable message.

 About how to work with the program
you can read in a running
line.

 Before talking about the second
THE PROGRAM, look at the close
past. Now, as a self-granted, a computer,
especially the home, is considered as
means of entertainment. Far
secret that most users Spectrum - compatible
computers - students and
students. And so it is no secret
that most of the screen
monitor the unfolding events
have nothing to do with
some applied problems.

 But in addition to games Spectrume
can be read and, moreover, is pretty good.

 At the initial stage of computing such indices as a Spectruma 
considered would be fantastic.


In 1958, such computational
machine as the BESM-1 had
speed of 2-3 thousand operations
per second, the capacity of
memory of 2K. Such a machine is occupied
huge area and had a staff of several
dozens of people.

 And for those on modern
notions of primitive machines
performed calculations of the trajectory
flight of the first artificial
satellites, process the information coming from the spacecraft 
towards to the Moon, Mars and Venus.


 Even the second generation of computers such as Ural14,
Minsk 22, BESM 4 inferior
ZX-Spectrum in all respects.
For example BESM 4 had the speed of 20-30 thousand operations 
per second, while RAM 8K. 

 For comparison: the Spectrum
speed of 900 thousand operations
per second and memory 48-128K.

 And is it having in the hands of such
powerful tool to cope not
with school problems or
any coursework?

 If readers are interested in this opportunity to use a 
computer, the editorial magazine will make the publication

devoted to the numerical solution
task and numerical modeling. Computer Spectrum completely
cope with the tasks of school
course, as well as make life easier and
College students.

 And now back to
program, which provided
We Pavlichenko Alex out of town
Chelyabinsk. The program is very
simple, but we decided at its
publication due to the fact that
She was the first of this series.
The program allows to calculate
the value of a given function on
given value of the argument.
How to use
written in help'e, which
loaded at the beginning of the program.
In the same way help'e indicated
same and all the shortcomings of the program.

 The editorial board looks forward
get any feedback on the
affected subject.
