    Less than a year ... Zero output
has done his job and told the news of its existence:) And now 
I'll have to strain every month in isdose, inventing new 
articles, because the amount a newspaper of sends to the 
materials are still pending. With such thoughts I even kodit 
perehotelos and now you will have to contemplate the strange 
envelope. Hmm, but in general, so even better. It is time to 
understand that the newspaper and shell separated from each 
other. Because PUBLISHER newspaper publishes its own technical 
means, and come up with the author's qualifications EDS. A 
publisher can use the standard shell, and nothing wrong with 
that. Such a shell having sufficient flexibility, could provide 
greater freedom of design and production of high-speed e-mail. 
newspapers, magazines or books ... In short, it's time to rivet 
these membranes, such as TM / PM by Fast Group (cool guys), and 
then a newspaper-magazine-knigostroenie will take

not coders, but users who do not understand
technical part of the company, but knowing
subject about which they write. No, it's not hitting
existing media. Just then the flow
Newspapers must increase.

    Brrr, something has brought me ... We return
but to the intro.


    So, for the shell I otdulsya;). About
glitches in the previous issue (such as vanishing
login 155serii through 4k7 instead <750R;))
also keep silent ...


    Ah, yes, Management ... Dyk, but as if
all you do is read?

    In short, except the arrows that you have
certainly nadybali, text, they rule the arrow keys. There are 
also hot and pedals: 

    I - ink

    M - music

    E - exit


    Incidentally, while the newspaper will now be a regular 
with a period of 1 ... 2 months (I will try to put in 1, max - 
1.5 months). 


    Boolshuschuyu convey gratitude Fast
Group for their great bend TM / PM. Only
would add a couple of things: to reduce
podgruzok cache disk when the memory> 128;
submenus, the ability to create sub-sections consisting of 
several texts and One of music (as in electronic newspapers

type KrNews, only with the ability to create nested menus) and 
loaded at the same time (say, a few small text can fit in 
memory at once). If you approach this question more deeply, it 
should be well thought out system caching (including 128kb) and 
simultaneous loading of multiple data blocks (The descriptor is 
loaded with blocks can be to ask when working in PM). It is 
also desirable to implement an arbitrary snap music files, text 
and sprites. Ie music X1 is tied to the texts Y3, Y7; Sprites 
Z2 are tied to the texts of Y2, Y5 ... etc. 

   I also want to mode 85 characters per line with
so small and obscure fonts with clear pseudographics, some 
letters and digits - this is to scheme to draw large (I mean 
the normal video mode 192 * 256). I saw him do not remember in 
whose viewer 866'h texts and he pinned me. And you can do at all

the inclusion of any font with a width of 2 ... 8
pixels. And not bad to have a few
fonts of the same width (as in WinWord'e)

      However, the designer has one clear
bug mode raskrasski. Not fatal,
but the nerves spoil. Is the inability to properly juzat ink 2, 
and again from time ink 1: The designer puts the wrong control 
codes (wrong position). If same juzat ZX / ibm editor (ext, 
1916; ext, 2 ...), and put them manually, then everything is ok.

    In general, the package Kulnev!

--- Skiping from 8.5 ...--

    Here I am in the mulberries polinkovalsya Page Maker'e
and others a couple of days and Khoi-what bugs me to get. 
Therefore they need to declassify and preferably would also 
fixed a. 

    1). Sound Tracker Pro is not on the RAE,
veshayas on disk operations - all versions
besides Barnaul 48k (but then a different format, nepakovanny).

    And plowed fee and blocking all
that is possible, I have accomplished nothing ...

    In the general had to look for something else,
to otkompilit Mouzon ...

    This is another in the face ProTracker'a 3'ego
proved to be very buggy and I was able to with the grief
half konvertanut only one Mouzon -
KSA27, and the LOOP had to put myself.

    By the way, the converter to Barnaul STP
Mouzon also wrong convertible ...

    So it turns out: a lot of players are losing the STP, a 
convertible no one can ... 


    2). But it was only the beginning. Now
turn has come to know and how exposed
offset muzak playing in the TM / PM. Method
educated bet revealed: NO AT ALL. Long hours of research 
revealed: it is always EQUAL TO 5 FOR ALL ITEMS! And no matter 
what you put in the TM (but the background music

in the main menu at the PM is set correctly.).

    And this despite the fact that I Mouzon compiled in PT2.1 
:-(, but PT3 is not communicating with please him (see above).

Glory PhF, there PT2.4;). (Okay,
Hrust that such a fast compressor ...)


    3). And for dessert was to make
TM / PM to show me the sprites 4'oy article.

    Was all very simple: when you configure the disk in the PM 
to say YES to FIFTH article!



    More odnin joke: TM unload sprites
with the extension. $, and PM is necessary, as it is written in 
the help,. S
