Overview novya


                          Golden Max'DWT


  Since the release of the fourth number
there were some new programs. In
basically - either new releases of old programs, or new 
versions / releases of large projects. And this time I'll be 
spending review (DWT). Well, let's start ... 


          Real Commander v2.1r

         (C) 2001 Real Software


  Quite rapidly "growing" the project.
Extensive built-in capabilities and developed a modular system 
together constitute the the most powerful to date, disk shell, 
and in the future, I think, a powerful disk systems. But such 
growth can not happen only for one reason - the habit

spektrumistov all have "for free". No
I say that this habit as a generic curse for the Spectrum, which
quickly rounded up his grave.
Well, no knock home to our people that the program - is the 
fruit of the same work, what they operates every day, for the 
sake of salary ... After all, it's like to work as a loader at 
dvadtsatipyatigradusnom cold sake enthusiasm. Yes, and make the 
most himself to work better and better ... Idiocy of some sort, 
but rather - is nonsense. 

  PEOPLE! SPEKTRUMISTY! Do you realize someday that "freebie" 
for the Spectrum - this is another nail in his coffin? "



             Trouble v0.243

             (C) 2001 Nuts


  In my opinion, the main competitor Real
Commander today. These two whales
drowned all of its competitors and now
float side by side, almost touching each
other ...


  The main asset of this system (by
he emphasizes that Trouble - this is not
Commander) is a multisystem, and
soon - great background for her. Then
is, TR supports a handful of standard
DOS. This is achieved by analyzing the zero track. Also TR also 
has developed a modular system, as well as support for the 
modern Spectrum devaysov (General Sound, GigaScreen, Cash, and 
etc.). 


  However, despite all the advantages
Trouble, it has one very significant ... Rather than 
disadvantage, and bug: despite the development of Set Up, where 
you can configure the TR virtually any requirements / tastes, 
TR all still hangs on my Pentagon in 1024

download time, although SetUp'e I turned off all verification 
devices, because of which could be a problem. Apparently, 
kakoeto device (most likely, GS) is always tested, even though 
the shutdown avtodetekta. Incidentally, the same story and with 
VNN - he also Pent1024k. The only one who has earned Trouble is 
normal - it's a Golden Max'a under emulsion ... 


               Nicron 122

    (C) 2001 Moscow spekrtumisty


  The newspaper, as well as in the previous issue,
again tells the story of CC'01 ... Despite the
issue number, I could not help ask the
himself - and will live there ZXTime to this age? And whether 
or not what to write in 122-m ZXTime?:) I hope that will live, 
and write a will that ...



  But I digress. In Nicron'e rather
describes in detail the passage of Chaos
Constructions. Material is provided with a large
number of pictures. I particularly liked the angle at which the 
photographed Mednonogova (with beer):). Cool turned :))). 
Everyone who does not read 122go Nicron'a strongly advise to 
read. 


              Earth Shaker

         (C) 1990 Michael Batty

    (C) 2001 Modify by W.A.R. Group

                   +

      Earth Shaker Editor v0.1demo

         (C) 2001 W.A.R. Group


  Gift for gamers in style
Boulder Dash. As seen from the dates alone
his game is pretty gray, but the guys
of W.A.R. Group managed to revive it a few. They have created 
this handy editor igruhi stages which, on its interface design 
to me, somehow, vaguely recalled n / a for petse. That only is 
"error" when calling the editor sprites ":))).



          Global Tracker v1.1

      (C) 1999 Global Corporation


  I do not know why, but until today I did
Editor's ever seen. Perhaps this is due to the ban on the 
distribution of authors networks.



  Rather broad possibilities for writing music for AY. Unlike 
other Editors have the opportunity to listen to samples 
directly from the disc menu by pressing the corresponding one 
or another note. In addition, several 'enlarged':) (unlike 
ProTracker'a and like him) graphical interface.

Together with the editor itself also applies to a small 
application - description and a few tunes: mostly, the old 
"hits." 


  If I'm not mistaken, Global Tracker
had success with the foreign (Western) spektrumistov. And why 
did not he so common among domestic

musicians? I do not muzaker and on my ear in
childhood came bear:), but I
left the impression that the GT is not bad sound quality, 
which, slops, may compete with such grandees as ProTracker. 
Although the claim is not undertake ...



                Body # 30

         (C) 2001 Smokers Team


  The next release of the Minsk newspaper. As
always - a quick overview of the new n / a, where and
We were honored to get there:). As always -
Belarusian news. As always - assaults
and naezdiki at each other and cause
for no reason ... Generally, all - as always
- Body, in his inimitable style ...


              Insanity # 10

         (C) 2001 Insanity org.


  Interesting newsletter. Perhaps, today, the best STSENOVOE
edition. Despite my somewhat negative attitude to the concept 
of 'scene' - I it was damn interesting to read

Insanity 'from cover to cover. " I have long
not so fascinated by the press. Struck at the truth of 
journalistic professionalism ... Killed for felling material 
about Sinclair and his Plans for the future of the Spectrum, and

as possible 'war' with technology
Wintel ...


  But then again ... At home, read
Insanity I could not. Again, because of
This avtodetekta General Sound'a ...
Again I had to go to Golden Max'a and
It read ... Is it so hard
make a regular survey to determine the presence
General Sound'a? Do not make avtodetekt and
ask the usual question of "whether or not there ?"...


                 - - -


  Perhaps this is all nove, which appeared
we have since the release of 4-th number of ... Not
thick, but, thank God, is not empty:)
