             Overview Warez'a



  Igor / ASt


  Before I begin this review, I want to apologize to all whose 
names and nicknames groups affected by slips in my review

last issue.

  And now actually begin to review the software.


          Converter Utility v2.1

                 (C) ART


  conv2_1  28 convhelp <W> 6


  The program is designed to transfer
spekovskih files from various formats
used emulators and emulyatorschikami
on the PCs, the real physical disks of TR-DOS. Understand such 
formats source files as. TRD,. SCL,. $ * (Hobeta), as well

can also easily copy and ordinary dosovskie files. When copying 
such files are all on the TR-DOS disk will

extension . When you run the program requests the name of 
the drive for a TR-DOS and MS-DOS disc. Normally handles disc

errors such as RAI. The screen is
file and the information panel.

                   ___



        Hrust RiP arhivator v0.99

          (C) S! NN / dtr / fdm '2000

         (C) Hrumer / dtr / fdm '2000


  HripSFX_  157


  The new version of the new archiver for SPECCY. Unlike 
previous versions of this comes in the form of SFX-archive 
(self-extracting, and of a word) and includes following files:


 Hrip0_99.BAS - Archiver
 SFXHrip!. BAS - SFX-dearhivator
 hrip_hlp.WRD - description of the packer
 hrip_sfx.WRD - description for SFX-dearhivator
 hrip_doc.WRD - Documentation on the format of the backup
 HRUST203.WRD - source packer HrustLibrary 2.03
 DEHR203. WRD - source depakera HrustLibrary 2.03
 CRC16S. WRD - Source calculate crc16 (slow)
 CRC16F. WRD - Source calculate crc16 (fast)
 HRUSTNFO.WRD - description HrustLibrary 2.03
 file_id. diz - specifier


  Hrip allows you to create files with the directory and 
without it, add new files existing archive (it should be

Last on the disc), fully supports the SFX-archives. Has a small 
SetUp, simple and easy to manage. Packaging and

unpacking Accompanying strip
process. Maximum number of files in
archive 255. So how did he pack files? For comparison, we chose 
these programs, ie those that allow you to create archives from 
multiple files. As "guinea pigs" used in different files 
(screenshots, music, text, code block). So:



             Ish.razmer Hrip0.99 ZxZip1.02 LZComp1.00
 Chb.skrin 27 December 12, 1913
 Tsv.skrin 27 19 18 20
 Text 56 22 23 25
 Code 57 33 32 37
 Music 25 July 9 July
 All together 192 90 90 102

 Sizes in sectors. As can be seen from the test results, Hrip 
quite competitive with ZxZip'om quality packaging, and on speed 
and ability to exceed it. The appearance of this version of the 
archiver for PCs only raise his popularity.


                   ___


       Tornado Screen Packer v1.00

            (C) Vitamin '2000


  TSPv1.00  35 TSPHELP <W> 26


  Packer screenshots. The program is
controlled by the arrows. She responds to different device, but 
in very differently. For example, a mouse And this program does 
not carries no consequences. Not only that

arrow moves entirely in the wrong direction, which runs a 
mouse, so even if off-screen arrows for some reason he becomes 
completely black with a rapidly retractable red stripes. 
Gentlemen coders! If you have decided to support in

its prog mouse and not have it on my
computer, then let the program potestit happy owner of this 
devaysa and only then Give your product to the masses. More

all this is not the packer will be popular not only because of 
the described bugs, but also because of the very feeble extent 
compression, although it packs very quickly. Here Comparative 
plaque data without depakerov, in parentheses, depakerom: 


                  TSP1.00 LC4.00 LazyPack1.20
 FTFuture (Col.) 5825 (5869) 3788 (3937) 3813
 Castle (Col.) 4625 (4669) 3707 (3856) 3815

 Skan.chb.skrin 4454 (4498) 2681 (2830) 2845


  It remains to hope that in future
versions of the author not only get rid of glitches with the 
mouse, but also finalize the algorithm packaging to the proper 
level.

  The new version of Brest Commander in
Fixed bug where nekotrye. Of the innovations are the presence

different and each develops its direction. A distinctive 
feature of QC is to support the mouse, and a commander can only 
steer it in the no keyboard ;-). Availability of full text 
viewer as well allocates among his own kind. QV has a bunch of

opportunities, which are permanent fans all know, well, 
beginners can familiarize themselves with twists by spear or 
through HELP. The new version of inter alia little changed 
outwardly.

design and good potential. In order to

advantage of this Player muse over their competitors in

is that it allows you to play any
music file formats through plug-ins (plugins). Music can be
packed by any packer, unless of course it

  Collection procedures for the direct programming VG93 for 
quick work with the disk. All applets are reset on your disk 
after run installer. According to the author

this bend, available in the collection procedure
"Simply must work on all cars and
controllers. "And the promises reactive
the speed of the disc. Fast reading
data from the disk - it's certainly good, but
recently become very popular RAM-drives that emulate drive D: 
of TR-DOS. So drive can use programs that seek data through the 
standard entry point TR-DOS. Therefore, many programs now

have the ability to customize how to access the drive, but, 
unfortunately, not all of them work out disk errors. Maybe it's 
worth give to the people not only super-duper fast program work 
with the disk, and also those that normally operate through the 
standard entry point to TR-DOS and at the same time catch disk 
errors. 

                   ___

  This program is designed for pull-out music. It supports a 
large number of different formats of music

publications, lined with fat sales. But
the guys from the Delirium Treams went and did what others 
could not and yes even absolutely free. Editor satisfy the most 
refined requirements, it there is a lot of features not 
previously implemented in other programs of this class. The 
concept of loadable modules allows to expand possibilities of 
the program no climbing to the main code. This version supports 
128 colors scheme Flash Color. The authors support their 
offspring, and this means that new versions can be seen

what do you IMHO not enough to
