     ASCII CONVERTOR v 2.71


           Air / Edelweiss



   This product is designed to convert bitmap'ov with ascii 
graphics. Interface made at the "click of a button, get

the result. "speed konvertsii not strongly
fast (at least, more than a minute).
In the version that got me there
some zamorochki with disk operations.
Namely: I have a two drive system, 5.25 '
(1.2m) and 3.5 '(1.44m), ie Both pC'shnye.
So, when the program starts with "five"
Mode A = 5.25: 3.5 = B, the catalog is normally
reread only 5.25, and with "three"
missing (ie it is empty). At start
program with the "three", both drives are seen
normal. The point here is not the TR-DOS, as some might think. 
Because Playing no choice of drive, one has to use

switch, and in this case the system
do not care what drive is initialized. This converter is a 
useful thing, but namely: "zabryulivanie" screens, and the 
degree of "zabryulivaniya, you can choose for yourself. 
Frankly, the result of this prog I did not like. Here is an 
example of this: 

 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



   I'm wildly sorry, but the example I lead
I could not, because this prog thrown off the resulting file in 
a format 64 characters per line, but without the code end of 
the line (at least If the code is not exactly the end of the 
line). A give it to me a divine form of laziness. Yes

and, frankly, to look there was nothing to
that (meaning the result).
-----------------------------------------


   The next in our hit parade, "Oh, bother
description, is the next version of Global Commander.



     GLOBAL COMMANDER v1.31


      Alex Kerman / Global Corp



   Describe it does not make sense, since
it is the same GC and, basically, its functionality has not 
changed. Briefly enumerate just what was changed (first 
author's text, then my komenntarii). 


   Differences between version 1.31:
 1. Removed a bug planted in 1.21 when correcting another bug.

CAV> Version 1.21, in some cases,
seal and up, spoiled Latest
files.

 2. Doctor Max rewrote TEXT viever.

CAV> appeared process bar (that is to say strap
progrssa). Yes, and works kind of like to quicker and smarter.

 3. Redesigned disk doctor.

CAV> Not tested.

 4. Fixed two small beetle.

 5. Adding to the formatter - the user is asked whether to 
affix a marker side. For TR-DOS - it does not matter for HOBETA 
- - No, for disk2trd 'trd2disk - Yes.


CAV> If you're lugging CDs to pC, a useful trick.

 6. Slightly altered the disk driver.
The fact is that on some drives it
Sometimes when writing a zero spoiled sector.
Now this should not happen.

CAV> How I drove 1.31 - until all the
OK, version 1.21 almost immediately went into
Scrap (a 1.1 left and still sits
and works at one of my drives).

 7. Reduced size of the Commander of the 64-up
Of 56 sectors. Clipboard to copy remained unchanged.

CAV> can be increased, although not so
rabtaet bad. Main quickly. And yet no
never spoiled zero path or directory.

P.S. While working on this paper was
discovered an interesting glitch, consisted
it is that when zapuskanii of a GC Khokhlovskiy editor and 
stopped on the team podgruzki a code block with a message 
Nonsense in BASIC, when applying komadny RUN Further loading 
proishodila normal. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the GC 
something port in the system variables TR-DOS'a.

-----------------------------------------


   The following program is a remix
XAS'a. Honestly, the remix is made is not bad.


            BA 1.0

      (Prototype XAS 7.43)


            BUGAY IVAN



   Key controls are similar to XAS'u,
text format, respectively. Just want to
say that the string length is 42 characters, and if you enjoy 
XAS'om 9.hh, then in the presence of text lines of length 64 in

You may experience problems. Just want to
add that the program works with sts 6.2
in the pair. Rather, as the author writes, to work with
disk goes through sts. Labels as in XAS'e
can be from 3 to 14 characters. Assembling all the teams Z80, 
designation as a STS'e, except for some (see below). Editor's 
team is no sense to describe both as they complete analog 
XAS'ovskih. Assembler directives are also similar to XAS'u 
meaning and syntax. Focus only on differences. The first of the 
teams that BA differs from XAS'a and even, perhaps, from

All other assemblers is MAKE. This allows us to write the 
object komadna code of the current page. Change command

ORG, now she can have in code
any page in memory (as in ALASM'e). In
derektivah who work with the disk, you can choose the drive and 
the file extension, something like LTEXT "B: NAME" or LCODE "C: 
NAME. Z ". In general, the assembler leaves the most favorable 
impression. -----------------------------------------



             X-COPY


            Volga Soft



   This prog consists of a copyist, but do not track or any 
other in System TR-DOS, and is copied from MS-DOS in TR-DOS

and vice versa. The special features of copyist should include: 
shell program (a la Norton). Unlike Pencraft'ovskogo copyist 
(whom I until recently used), X-copy lets you copy multiple 
files. It's also worth noting opportunity to see the text 
(Claudia 3) screen in Spectrum format. You can poudalyat

files on MS-DOS, and in TR-DOS disk.
You can create subdirectories.
(For MS-DOS of course). In the dock to the copyist, the author 
writes that the copier can catch files of the following types 
of MOD, XM, S3M, STM, and throw them in the General Sound (if 
any). I myself have not been able to verify this, since this 
pribabaha I have not. You can also MS-DOS formatted disks on 
the 320, 720 and 800K. During the short period of employment,

seem to be any significant glitches not seen, except that one 
time when viewing text on a disk has got a bad block, and 
staring stubbornly ignored Claudia A (abort).
