     What is it, if you have never seen?

     It's just an unusual boot, which served as the prototype 
"pisishnaya" Shell Windows. 


     Now about the program



     Nothing but run other programs
Program Box v2.0 (on PB) can not
(Perhaps that could not yet), so that
do not flatter yourself.



     Program Management



     - Kempston mouse (originally off, since they say that on 
some machines not working)


     - Kempston joy

     - Sinclair joy (right)

     - Cursor (that's only a pity that the program by using it 
you can not run) 

     - QAOP, space


     Shortcuts and more



     1). BREAK - break the disk.

     2). BREAK / EDIT / right click -
if the window is open, then close it,
some other cases, work as
'ESCAPE'.

     3). R / Middle mouse button - change
disc.

     4). ENTER (if you closed all the windows and
enabled Cursor) - the opening of the first working windows.

     5). S. SHIFT / RIGHT mouse button -
when you hover over the icon to any program or icon of arrows 
(and their hold, ie withholding S. SHIFT 'or a

Right-click), are used to change
coordinates of the object that you are "hooked".

     6). Cursor left / right - switching
pages, if the disk has more than 12 programs in a window or 
icon selection for BADGES files.


     7). Fire / Left mouse button - performance options or 
program's launch. 


     Will further explain the complex for
moments of understanding in working with the PB, with simple, 
hope you and will understand. As they say in such cases: we 
understand it as 2 bytes to send. 


     WINDOW: Background



     Arrow up / down - the icon
who will fill the screen.

     Options icon / picture - define
that will be the backdrop, or an icon or a downloadable image.

     Image name - enter the name of his
pictures, and the next time PB load
it, unless, of course, do not forget to save
installation. If the pictures on the disc does not, then
background will be black screen.


     WINDOW: Icons



     Arrow left / right - icon selection (any of the 24) for 
the current file. 

     Arrow up / down - the current file.

     Rename - change the file name. Option is rarely needed, 
except those cases where you want to run

files whose names begin with a lowercase letter, for example, 
boot. 

     The tick / cross - indicates present or not the current 
file in this moment on the disc.


     New icons - a separate window, allowing you to change the 
image of any (Or all) of the icon.



     Private moments



     Preservation of plants - remains
Your chosen control, color border,
name will automatically download pictures,
coordinates, names and images of all
icons. Saving is "in itself",
ie, a file PB, so do not change
disk from which you run PB.


     Mouse speed (Mouse speed) - the choice
suitable for you mouse speed. Often
total rate depends not only on this
options, but also on the type of the mouse itself. We,
such as a mouse on a PC the "Search", and for us
best rate close to
maximum.


     What should know ProgramBokser 2.0



     1). The number of icons that you will
"Hook" to the files is limited to
24. Therefore, if you have to drive more
24 programs, you have to paint the standard icons for different 
programs. For example, all one and the copyist same icon.


     2). PB can be "taught" to recognize
128 files (unless of course you do not get bored
to enter all those names manually). But when
frequent changes of drive in PB "memory for learned the names 
of" lost. 

     3). It is not necessary to change the image of the first 
icon (question mark), since this icon assigned to all "unknown"

files. If necessary, draw
his own, which you will be more understandable.

     4). Sometimes you want to close one
window and close everything and update the screen. Do not 
worry, this is not a "bug" (and not "Bug"). Just something is 
changed, and PB shows it to you.


     5). To not use the key
ENTER to open the first working windows
you can press the "fire" in the upper left corner
screen.

     6). Background picture can be as
packaged, and standard, ie,
6912 bytes.



     INPUT YOU $


   IF YOU $ = "CODER" GO TO Information

   IF YOU $ = "USER" GO TO Distribution

   IF YOU $ = "LAMER" GO TO SCHOOL

   IF YOU $ = "PIRATE" THEN PUSH RESET!


     WHO ARE YOU?


     Information for programmers


     1). If you load the picture is less
27 sectors, PB "thinks" it's packed picture, and after her
load, makes CALL 35000. So now instead of the image itself can 
write procedures for filling the screen. Just to make the 
assembler ORG 35000 and all! 

     2). Memory with the 32338 to 35000 is free, so you can 
write something on Second interruption (see how to do it

accompanying source code), only when you
of them do not forget to put the JP 56. In
Basically, you can connect the music to the PB.
But you can write and do something more cunning,
Think what are we?

     3). Now you can empower PB! For example, you can insert a 
copyist or formatting disks or all together. How to do it 
(although not copyist) see file-source

'GREETZ! '.

     4). All empowerment made through loadable image. Of 
course, it's inconvenient, but we think it is worth order, and 
who knows, maybe after a while we see Program Box Commander!


     5). All the empowerment of you
will see in the 'Other'!

     6). If something is unclear or if you
want to know more information,

     P. P. S. No, no, this is not an emulator
Win '98 on the Speccy, this software Box Two. Zero.



     P. P. P. S. All we need is
a few bytes and a place for JP'a ahead!
