Snake 'RD \ OHG


   Please do not resent
programs described in this section, as
for some it is not nove, but we do it
appeared not long ago, to the same
Newspaper is designed and Rostov user'ov,
who do not have access to the network.


                Demo or Die.



   The first issue of the journal Demo or Die
from a group of ETC \ SCENE. First, as written
authors, Demo or Die implied as
newspaper, but now you can contemplate
full-fledged magazine, aimed at: "...
popularization demostroeniya in Russia. "

   The shell of the journal standard (a la ZXFormat). The 
disadvantage is that the cursor the key is not polled, and the 
output carried out by pressing CAPS SHIFT, that

is hampered during the reading. In the intro
bigger brakes, more likely to animation
appeared in rhythm with the music. In the
text view can not be written off screen, although
icon for this case is highlighted.

   When you run the auto availability
kempston joystik \ mouse not proishodit.Chtoby
configure the magazine under my computer
press enter in the intro of the animation.

   Content, as expected,
aimed at demostroenie. There is
articles on 3D graphics, video transfer to
SPECCY, reviews demoparty Bytefall and CC'99.

   Attached is a demo version
Digital Designer, and the slaughter of the video
"Worm-terrorists."

   Thus, the first issue, mostly bad.
We will continue to wait.



             Best viewer 2.7

                Ivan Roshchin


   Next version of viewer. He got to
without the author's description of us, but we list
noticed the difference: in contrast to a 2.6
keyboard is now queried (possibly in
It was an attempt to not only
definition formats of music, texts,
compressors, but the telepathic
program management, and obviously something
did not work) at the top of the screen,
if the text is very large, write current
part and the number of pieces of text, but as
go to the next part of the unknown
apparently for SS + L, but it will not be seen
no next part, either the viewer, and
only the inscription:



   So as Best viewer still does not know
What is Micro editor.

   But even with these shortcomings
we can say that Best viewer and in the
actually one of the best.



           Real commander v 1.7


   The next version of Commander by Real
software. It added formatting
floppy disks, music player, PT 2 is replaced
for PT 3. In setup'e can choose:
avtodetektsiyu presence of a floppy disk, the resident
doctor, to calculate or take the number of
sectors, files, and auto-loading of the two
files (I wonder why you need the latter).

   Now some of the shortcomings: choose
computing sectors Commander or take
them from the directory can only be overloading the RC,
and enter the setup, when returning from any
program in the RC (with resident doctor)
Doctor will not be called (possibly in
page of memory is not enough, but then you have
had to vacate their sector
buffer). And finally, there is no conservation
0-th road on 160 th.

   If not, these shortcomings, I
would have enjoyed them only ...

   Version 1.2 - obezglyuchenoe continued
Series HRUST.Fayly who previously would not
pachitsya, now devote themselves in the hands of HRUST'a
without any problems.

   Version 2.1 - used for packing
text files. According to its purpose,
texts it is better than compression HRUST 1.
True user interface is not very convenient. References
designed to compress files
must fill in a text editor
and copy to disk.
