a year ago and originally intended
e-newspaper for the Minsk MOVE, but
because the latter was closed this article
long gathering dust on the disk, until I
decided not to use it in the ECHO 5. When it
reading, you need to take into account the date of its
writing, due to the fact that subsequently
were new versions of some programs.

           by REAL SOFTWARE '97

             AUTHOR: PAWEL / RS


  COMMANDER This was conceived as a convenient
Shell for machines with memory, no less
128k, its main purpose is to provide fast operation, maximum 
convenience and flexibility. When working in the RC excluded 
the possibility of accidental damage to the disk, within 6 
months of operation (Version 1.0) did not screw up any

single disk. What is the difference between this COMMANDER from 
the rest? Working with files with the length of the directory 
or calculated (which date allows only

CONVER). Playing music files
from Pro Tracker 2.1. When copying to the replacement of an 
existing file on the host drive, if its length is the length of 
the copied, the copy is made in an existing file. Maximum safe 
function sealing drive. Two modes correct directory, you can 
easily correct error as the disc with a standard volume, and on 
disks formatted for maximum number of tracks. Ability to work 
with RAM disks proizvolgo volume. The presence of disk in the 
style of Dr. CONVER'a, but with its own facilities. Before

launch programs or access to the TR-DOS, RC
stored in the seventh bank and you can return it from programs 
supporting it. Before performing the functions associated with

written to disk, is comparing
loaded system with sector sector
on disk, thus eliminating accidental damage disk. RC is 
constantly being improved and the next version will have new 
novoroty, some of them had not previously been observed in any 
known Commanderie. 


        HEAVY ON THE MAGICK (REMIX)

          by GARGOYLE GAMES '87 '

             REAL SOFTWARE '97

            AUTHOR: CYBEREX / RS


   This game is a remix of the old games adventyurnoy
Company GARGOYLE GAMES. The game is completely disketirovana, 
revamped menus, inserted music on AY. In the disc menu, except 
for functions shipment to the disk, you have the opportunity to 
change the main character Game Achilles, save the current game 
situation in the memory (which of course is much faster than 
disk), and even return to RC if the game was launched from it. 
With all these alterations to the game play was much easier and 
more enjoyable, I understand those who saw this game in 
pervosdannom form.

release foreign games as well as adaptrovano at Brest 
controller home. -----------------------------------------
