Interface - A little bit about DOMEN OS.
(C) Kotov CAV Inc. / AURYN / CPU (C) Music: Davos Soft As I installed Domen OS or on some matters not related to the case. Please provide some comrades do not take offense to this article, as the fact had place. After reading in the ZX-Format, and then in Spectrum Progress article on Pink Floyd, I wanted to learn more about this miracle. And it was not a whim person, not knowing what to spend time and money because iS-DOS irritated me the order, and wanted something fresh and cool. After reading that, apart from all other Leningrad firms (Welcome corp. And so etc.), distribution deals and PF Logros, I wrote a letter back (in Logros), because we have had with them kontakty.Otveta business from guys from Logros' and I never received (I did not ask to send me PF on a freebie, I was ready to pay for system. The more so that legitimate users for a service or some other things; cm ZX-Format). Editorial ZX-Format 'and did not deign to reply to my letter (and for good reason). So would it still lasted unknown how much time, if by flipping as a catalog company Scorpion (C. Zonov) I have not found PF (by the way, there's still something found that interesting, in connection with than me and the entire editorial appeared Questions to Zonov ... ) Ordered the PF, I prepared to wait, but I do not think that this is so long (I will not say how much). As time passed and now, somehow, looking into his mailbox, I found a treasured notice of the premise. When he came home and printing message, I except a heap Price and one floppy disks, found nothing. No documentation or letters (and, incidentally, it's there should have been). Joyful, I sat at the computer and fed the disc drive. My joy quickly vanished (and in its place came a slightly different sense). Pink Floyd boots, gave all the signs, which should have been issue, and led the arrow at the top of the screen. Attempts to press the keys corresponding to a Sinclair joystick on the screen climbed some shnyaga. After the fifth attempt, I began to think that when sending the information has been corrupted on the disk, but by good fortune, watching the convulsive flickering arrows, I remembered one more creation, which were similar EFFECTS. And so, zakonnektiv Kempston joystick connector, I am convinced that Pink Floyd came to my set up on the mouse! And no detection of the presence of this devaysa ... Thinking that there must be at least some SETUP, I began to look for him (at the time appears on the display "press CAPS SHIFT + S to SETUP "its too late to press). Climb on the disk using RDM (By RAY), I dug a lot of interest in connection with which I have a lot of voprosov.A namely: "How is this going to read the user does not have a mouse?" and "Why do not you run SETUP?" . In SETUP I still came in (shrugging right keys immediately after the command RUN) AND CHANGE (Oh lord!) Administration on dzhoystik.Perezapustiv PF (that could not do), I tried to work with applications (was loaded session "Full load"). I must say that the system generated an error on inability to write the application tools on RAMD (RAM Disk). Ignoring the error, I tried to work with the remaining applications, but nothing except SYSINFO did not want to boot. Frustrated, I went sleep. The next day they came to ELF'u, I tried to run on Pink Floyd it Pente (512K - COOL!). Great was my joy when the PF start up! and even the mouse worked properly (ELF recently plugged this device itself). Having studied the section of the description on the PF, which dealt with the system settings, I finally found information on how to get to work on Pink Floyd 128K machines. Arriving home, I'm two hours busy with installing the driver, virtual memory. The driver did not want to put, I do not know what to do, but finally I visited the bright idea to remake STARTUP file in Word 'e (before that I tried to do this operation in Khokhlovskiy Editor 's). There has been a regular miracle-Pink Floyd run! And the process of developing a new system (results, see the "System" under "Test Chamber") I honestly do not know who to blame for the fact that I had the system tuned to the Scorpion (and I'm writing that I have a Pent 128). But gnawing at me one question-firm Scorpion was not on the oficial distributors Pink Floyd, which was published in the ZX-Format 'e. Whether I am a legal user of PF or not. This is not an idle question (see ZXFormat # 5). And then, to doubt the integrity of the firm's Scorpion, I have cause (I'll only be happy if it does not so). No, you judge for yourself how licensing can be a program that is similar to a working replica: a lot of deleted files, the system is set up explicitly a minimum configuration of the machine. One of the sections in the STARTUP 'e just did not execute (the "First Start"). How does it all mean? Is firm Scorpion, and in particular, Sergey Zonov, knocking himself all angles of heel in the chest and fighting for copyright compliance, do they sunk to the level of ordinary pirates? I ready to apologize if it is not. Or it is still wine domain? So like they should be responsible for their product (or how?). No, really need to look into the matter. Every time I prepare for a new number, give the pledge, do not run into anybody, because, damn it, does not work ... What to say story adventyuroy "Robin of Sherlock" ("Robin of Sherlock"), published in the fifth Format 'e . RAY, when she saw there and wanted to see how formatovskaya version works with the disk. His little Kondraty not enough, when he saw his own version. He disketiroval this game and it was published in ADVENTURER # 2. In the Format 'e was also the same version, but without captions and general boot for all three parts. Mailing address you know (and who does not know, see "Advertising"). And yet, if you write, then write to the image do, and phrases like CAV must die it is not necessary to dirty paper, anyway, I'll do what I do. ... After writing this article, I familiarized with the version of PF Welcome corp. Results you can read in "System" section. Here I want to say that the version of Welcome has been configured correctly on boot sistemy.I not take any perverted to start sistemu.Voobsche if the firm "Scorpion" more faithfully receptive to their cause, then this article you would not see. I beg to respond to those people who ordered something from firms "Scorpion" and "Form K", and tell whether they are satisfied or not the work of these firms. I do not want to discredit, just such statistics will be needed in the first turn by these firms. After all, people tend to notice only praise for his address and nothing else. And I have a question for "Inforkom. Some time ago and I offered RAY Cooperation Inforkom. "First, the answer is we do not poluchili.Vo Second, the article RAY 'I published not entirely, ie, cut off all information relating to the Adventurer 'y, a converted LAST RAIDER' y (see Adventurer # 3) and our coordinates. I repeat, no one else want to run down, but it turns out that I was forced to to do so. You probably noticed that in At each collision, I am writing this appeal, "Who would not agree, please write" if you sent a letter to print, it appears in magazine, this is guaranteed, and if not, then, with a valid claim, I apologize in the magazine. In the meantime, do not come no rollback. It turns out I was right? Thus, all true, as I write? Yes, the end of the article is not turned on (or on?), But, honestly, "grieved.
