                ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS



                       "My Hard Will Go On ..."

                        (Heard with half an ear)



     That's what happened!
You see (the fact) and are (hopefully) FIRST (in
this year), third (by number) and fourth (general) release of 
Tula electronic journal VOYAGER. 



     First of all - we are nearly a year! Allow me to 
congratulate you, dear readers with this momentous (for you) 
and memorable (to us) event and wish to always remain with 
Spectrum in general and us in particular.



     What brought us proshedschy year? Besides the fact that 
the Thule appeared Spectrum its electronic edition:) there are 
many more interesting things. I want to note especially the 
last International Festival of Computer Art

FunTop'98 in Moscow. We hope that you have read the detailed 
report about this event in the previous issue magazine. It is a 
pity that FunTop'99 not take place. But, looking ahead a bit, I 
would like to invite all to the festival CONSTRUCTION CHAOS'99, 
which will be held this summer in St. Petersburg. It promises 
to be fun and impressive. Hope to see you there with You. 
Speaking of festivals, it is impossible not to mention 
ARTCOMP'98. Despite the fact that he carried on mail, no matter 
what it took. Of course, papers were sent to a little, but 
still it turned out this festival of computer art. This 
confirms the well-shaped collection of works. Thanks for his 
great all the organizers. By the way, ARTCOMP'99 already 
declared, you can start prepare their work for the competition 
and send them to Mound. More information about this - in a 
magazine. 


     Struck a fair amount of software copyright, which appeared 
at the end of the year. First of all - it A LAST HERO OF LIGHT 
FORCE by EXCESS TEAM, MIRROR by ART WORK, HOMER SIMPSON IN 
RUSSIA by Mr.GLUC 'Co, KOLOBOK ZOOM II by ASPHYXIA'

FATALITY, come and play from abroad, not known to us (such as 
QUADRAX and TWILIGHT, who saw the light thanks FATALITY) ... 
what can I say, list can be long. And this year, we hope, will 
be released long-awaited Black Raven 2. If Vyacheslav promised, 
then so be it. ;) After Spectrum - is primarily a home, gaming 
computer, famous for its democratic, availability and abundance 
of software. We hope that the flow of the program does not run 
dry, and our favorite Speccy proudly will step into the third 
millennium! (During wrapped:)). 



     As for Tula, our hometown,
then we have witnessed some events. It is no secret
Spectrum that is already firmly entrenched in the network. This
applies not only to local ZXNet, and Fido. Many have already 
run without problems on the network on real Spectrum with a 
modem. Close to it, and Tula. Already Tula several successful 
"momedyatsya" on their Spectrum (thanks Vova Kulibina!), Close 
and exit in Fido, good software support is and is not bad. And 
ZXNet going to do. Time will tell. Guessing we will not.



     Now a little about us ... :) Dr.DASH successfully dealt 
with the session and continues to improve shell magazine. In 
addition, he manages to find time and writes different useful 
tools (new version of one of them - TEXTUT - you will find in

Appendix). In addition, Dr.DASH tried a little to bring to mind 
our editor proportional press, which, in fact, typeset VOYAGER. 
Work was fun. A huge him for that Thanks. A.N.D.Y. completely 
caught up in work (not over magazine), but quietly wrote a new 
editor for Pascal. While he (the editor) can not much, but in 
general - is impressive. Good luck to him! DUDE bought yourself 
a second pros (in his words - to experiment) and continued 
poking around a soldering iron, "that moves" ... ;) Connect to 
Fido, so for those wishing to write to him personally - you are 
welcome: 2:5022 / 41.46. I've thought of (with LAST ZAHARY) to 
collect the sound card, a scheme which they found on the CD 
with the emulator. Little material about it - in the Appendix. 
That same LAST ZAHARY quietly digging with spekovskim iron, and 
to the extent possible, helps Dr. DASH'u in the improvement of 
the shell. Your obedient servant (NEXT-STOP) continues to 
receive many letters (Thanks!) And tries to answer everything, 
little by little distributes software, and in his spare time 
(of which not too many) brings to mind the materials for the 
magazine. Do not remain aloof from Tula and other teams. Many 
thanks to all for MAYHEM'mam preparation of an intro to the 
third issue and the group OLIVE BRANCH for the material 
provided. Hope for further cooperation.



     In conclusion, I want to thank all the readers who sent us 
a letter (by mail, an Internet, Fido). Thanks for your support, 
kind words, advice and criticism. Pleasure to work with, 
knowing that your labor anyone needs. Especially now, not in

the best of times for the Spectrum ... so that there
Spectrum - the whole country. There is a growing circle of our
dating, growing geography of our (and your) magazine. We have 
received feedback from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kurgan, 
Cheboksary, Glazov, Nizhny Tagil, Donetsk, Grodno, Minsk, 
Chelyabinsk, Tchaikovsky, Yaroslavl, Vilnius, Cherepovets, 
Kazan ... and this is not a complete list of cities, reading 
Voyager! For anyone not be a surprise if I tell you

that half (if not most) letters came from
people who did not buy the magazine and used the
his "kryaknuty" version. There were even letters with claims of 
non-functional. Yes, this can not be! From "legal" readers who 
purchased the magazine from us or our distributors, we have not 
received no reproach, that "something is not working." 
Regarding the same "crack" ... On the one hand this is good - 
more readers, more interest, more reviews and materials we 
receive. On the other ... nothing but trouble. I'm not saying 
that "zhurnalostroenie" nothing but trouble and sleepless 
nights we do not bring (the satisfaction of the work done, I 
omitted). It's a shame that the journal is judged not by normal 
and on kryaknuty (not always correct) version. We do not claim 
to "Laura" Microsoft, but no matter how you look at the man who 
wrote a letter to Bill Gates with claims about his "air vents", 
purchased at the local push for fifty dollars? That's the same 
... 


     Do not want to end this unpleasant
for us to note. And so - write, write and write! Read a 
magazine and vykroyte couple of minutes - cherkanite what you 
think about the interested you the material. Will be very 
happy! We will try to reply to all!




   A pleasant journey through the pages of the magazine!



           See you in the VOYAGER # 4!
