           ANOTHER BIRTH



     Now, when everything is persistently repeated, that the 
Spectrum is dying, and the number of fans INTERNET'a approaches 
the number of Spectrum Fan:) a couple of years ago,

Spectrum acquired in ordinary life in a network
INTERNET. That's what I am now a little bit and
tell. On the Net several years ago began to emerge whole page 
devoted to the most popular, most beloved of home computers. 
First it was a modest informational sections, but after some 
time they were transformed and multiplied, now their number and 
the quality is shocking. In the INTERNET Now you can find 
almost any program that virtually any emulator for the ZX any 
platform, any utility. Very pleased that our domestic fans are 
not left behind, and often among the branded program skips and 
domestic developments ... 

     Currently, the software market for the Spectrum appeared
many programs with notes "Restoring
from Internet ". This can only be welcomed. For how much more 
enjoyable to play din with a beautiful screen saver, animated 
scenes and all reloading. A many afflictions brought in the 
past, these "Castrated" multifeysnye vzlomki,

where instead of screen saver - the menu and music, and 
additional levels of non-existent. : ( Now, all quite 
different. Conventional, unremarkable in the past the program 
flourish with new colors and pat servants great music and cool 
effects. And where is the charge these programs? For starters, 
if you are connected to the INTERNET, please try to visit our 
domestic pages devoted to Spectrum. You can certainly get into 
the same ALTA-VISTA, and type in the box SEARCH familiar shaped 
as letters ZX-Spectrum. Just do not faint, got in the box 
KOLICHESSTVO "five-digit number, where the first of figures are 
not one. For a start must something simpler (if

you are not the first year online, the more you can do not to 
read, feel free to click the "E" new you do not know, but maybe 
it's worth and read ...) First, try to climb

on this page:


http://zx-museum.org.ru/ZXlinks.html


This page is a launching pad for trips to other sites in all 
parts of the world. Here, collected dozens of addresses in 
England, Germany, Russia, Norway, Holland, Poland, America and 
even Africa. By the way, one FTP from South Africa (!!!), I 
found some interesting programs ... In order to get to one of 
the sites need only to click myshoy on its name, and you're in 
another country. In general, I I recommend finding one of the 
following address and going there (and incidentally, it already

depends on you - for what purpose you climbed
in the INTERNET). If you are interested in the program, it is 
better to choose some FTP and Dig it. We'll discuss this in 
more detail. For an example, two of them: 


ftp://ftp.gui.uva.es/pub/sinclair/

ftp://ftp.nvg.unit.no/pub/sinclair/


After waiting a while (it depends on
subjective reasons), we find ourselves in a sea of programs 
and information Spectrum. I am sure that Your eyes gaze at the 
following picture: (My comments, date and time taken from

lantern ...)

the necessary program or utility could be found without much 
trouble (most importantly, to my eyes not run) ...




     About this directory structure of most (emphasize most) 
FTP - country nichek on the Spectrum. Catalogs can be changed, 
but the basic structure will remain. I would also like to say 
that almost all the software, which lies on these pages is 
SHAREWARE, that is a nonprofit, so shake your health!

     All things possible. And yes
forgive me those whom this review is a bit lopsided. Of course, 
there pages devoted entirely to the individual

genres, companies and even one game (!!!). But
I tried as easy as possible to talk about
one - how not to get lost in the network and how
download exactly what you need. Information about sites and 
storage formats of programs for the Spectrum in the INTERNET, 
we will talk next time. Also in the plans of a purely 
informative articles about the attempts to hack INTERNET and 
interesting cases from the net, tales of pirates and much 
INTERNET'ovskom another.
