Interview - An Interview with Ticklish Jim-ohm, Rom / Progress, BRAIN WAVE CORP, RST # 7, KGS INC.
Interview with Ticklish Jim'om (C) 1997 X-Project Association
_________________________________________ Editor's note: The
whole thing happened vgorode Sebastopol, visiting Smash.Osenyu
1,997 people gathered here opredelennoekolichestvo several
ukrainskihgrupp. Among them was Ticklish Jim izBrokimSoft,
which we (to use a case-tea) and have this interview. . . .
ZXP: A-ka answer this question ... T.J.: Yes, I know! When I
first saw the Spectrum? ZXP: Exactly! You're like a joke -
asked
Chukchi geologists: "How I ole
her? Guess - both give! "One of the
corresponds to: "Two." "Well, you're a shaman!" But we
digress ...
TJ: Yeah, well, the first Spectrum I shall see
cases in 1991, when he entered the
Fizmatgiz, Moscow. I he appeared in the 1992m.
The first six months, of course, only
playing ...
ZXP: Wait, now it's my turn to guess!
You began to break basic-loaders ...
TJ: But I'm here not only a shaman! Yes,
I confess, I really started to "break"
basic-loaders. By the end of study, in
1994 is already more or less mastered the ac
Sembler to vserazlichnym "Hakam. AND
did not stop there! Still I tried
an (and sometimes unsuccessfully) adapted
vat 128 disk-game, and when in 1995
came the drive, then it's time
do diskofiga ... No, "diskofi
katsiey "games. But the main task of all
the same was "hacking" as protection hundred
novilis more powerful and more powerful.
ZXP: Not alone are you doing all
this mess?
T.J.: Of course! Already in 1994 the formation of
valas group Brokimsoft. Then we
only deal with different sorts
there cheat'ami. And in 1996, our group
(T. Jim, Slider, Panda) was included in the SOS
Tav ETC GROUP, consisting of the QD-SOFT,
KV-SOFT, KV-HARD, LAZY and LEMMING.
ZXP: striped devils! Try it all
This figure it out: where is the KV, where KT ...
TJ: So in-oh-oh-t, by the time KT ETS
Lal several versions of FF and a couple of car
Exact games. In December, we released
CSC-1. After that began Disorders
in ETC. Eventually I left, became
free-hacker'om, Panda remained ETC.
But six months later BIS was recovered
lished in the original composition.
Immediately the question arose on the issue
CSC-2, ROBO, LAZYPACK, CONFUSSION. But
as KT, the main programmer left
on the PC, and nobody else took up the
work on the CSC, they engaged us. Although
before the CSC-2 will be released a few other
toy. Between its release and l.
com CSC-2 is planned to yield ROBO,
that too, no one is going to
delyvat.
ZXP: Why is "between"?
TJ: And because the second Pand'y us
No, but he was available, would soon be
the army.
ZXP: How about the next plans?
TJ: It LAZYPACK, who has to finish
We, as well as CSC DEJA VU. Totally real
royaten out Free Format'a 8.3 +, to
tory will be better than 8.0, but the obi
Lie glitches nullifies all the reliability
dignity of the new version. And of course, edge
ki, protection ... At the moment, ETC
as such ceased to exist.
And of those who made it once,
work every "for themselves." KT floor
completely transferred to the PC; LAZY, buying
AMIGA, recently sold it and bought a PC,
scoring, it seems, to Spectrum home
finally, though still dodelyva
em CONFUSSION, together with STYL'om.
But release dates are still unclear.
I, PANDA and STEELER, when no deceleration
winters - are working to CSC; PANDA parallel
parallel to something draws, writes music,
which is getting better and better. SLIDER
Restaurant games, bring them to the "convenience
playing "state. STEELER" Hughes
em "AMIGA, does the defense.
ZXP: Well, you yourself are doing?
TJ: I T.J., when the "wake" all
"Move", working on the CSC, Krakau
all that is at least some
interest from the standpoint of protection, and under
the mood of doing some metal
lochami. And for the most part scoring
their brains and take out all the fantasy
acquaintances.
ZXP: O, fantasy - it's good! And after you
progress of this very CSC-2, we repeat
this fascinating conversation, and yet
We call it a day, we still have to
Today a couple of interesting interviews. ;-)

Apartment Rom'a. Drink tea ... . . . ZXP: I would have asked
you about his first meeting with SPECTRUM'om, but I can not
even pronounce this question ... ROM: I'll answer anyway! (What
else can be so exciting to tell?) My first PC (Spectrum) I saw
in 1989. It was given me DYNAEL-48k. Before that I did not show
any interest in the company, although the set Gia my
friends were badly this dragging were obtained. In the game
I "batsal" fixedly at approximately a year. Then I became
interests poke "stuffing." Was initially BASIC,
then a small inset on the ACME. With 92
in 1994 in splendid isolation did
CRACK'i tape. In 1995, acquires
Moscow rel-128. Began to appear on
market and communicate with the addition sceners
time. Done multiple disk
versions of the game for me, some even
Now do not be ashamed.
ZXP: You then anywhere studied / worked?
ROM: While I was in MIVT'e
(Moscow Institute of Water Trans
port)
ZXP: Who would have thought ...
ROM: Yes, after studying with a friend, we often
go and see the market in full form:
vest, belt with anchor, etc.
ZXP: I think it's not completely gone ...
ROM: And how! It subsequently became
One of the reasons that influenced the word
SEAMANS in the title SMBUHG.
ZXP: When formed these things worthy
union?
ROM: the exact date of formation SEAMANS BEER
USERS HACKERS GROUP difficult to consider
Ret beneath centuries of dust, but
mately it was in the late summer of 95-th.
Similarly, we can say that it is
the name I came up with during napisa
of his last re INDEPENDENT
Lisa - SPLITTING IMAGES. And it was in
October 95 th. The first release under the SM
leybelom was WORLD CLASS RUGBY. AND
group was originally conceived as a
CRACK - team.
ZXP: And who went into its composition?
ROM: With the original line-up, too, not all
so simple. At the beginning of the SM were:
ROM - organize, gfx, crack, code, swap;
FUX - code, crack, some gfx;
SHEMMY - code;
NICK - gfx.
Still there was such a fun person - Agayev
Eldar, it is a long time thought that
is also a member of our team, but
In my (ROM / SM) opinion, as a body
nayzera, it really never was.
ZXP: Does any change in
the team?
ROM: No, on no one in the SM are not enrolled
Xia and do not pay. But all the work
since the late 95 th to the present
time, were only two
people - Rom drive and FUX'om. During During
the existence of SM has been done
CRACK'ov quality, several
syst. prog and two demo-prog: MIC gift
and our CONTRIBUTION to ENL'96 - INFLU
ENCE demo. Shortly before we E'96 item
Nakoma with the guys from the MPS group. A
immediately after it was decided to create
organization of two of our teams to
written jointly by dem.
That was done. (BC - November
96-go). Thus was born PROGRESS. Next
It was decided not to share in the SM and the MPS and
in future releases of all the works except
CRACK'ov under leybelom PGS ...
ZXP: And what about SM?
ROM: What SM? SM and to this day susches
tvuet, and we're doing from time to FUX'om
CRACK'i time, in the winter to PGS accession
nilis KOLOVRAT aka KOLVER and KSA aka
MADMINDER. Then there were the binary Scone
struirovany few more dem and hyphae
Comrade. Polednee our creation is called a

com similarity DEMO party called
ENLIGHT'97.
ZXP: How-as-well! Remember ... What is this
hour clogged your bare PROGRESS'sivnye
you?
ROM: The first place we now find
Xia DEMOMAKING. And a new generation
of - with a robust concept demos
and with professional design.
ZXP: That was the question: how do you generally regarded
Vaeth DEMOMAKING?
ROM: We believe that at this level again
DEMO-development technologies at the Spectrum,
DEMOMAKING can be regarded as
quite a serious art form.
ZXP: ... And nothing but thereof?
ROM: Well, no, why ... We are involved in
joint project with DIGITAL REALITY
PHANTASY and to create a previously unseen
finite type magazine. This will be analyzed
denounce separately in the near future will
general. Also advancing to the project
Writ entirely new operations

scene. FUX studying and coding system
on AMIGA. ROM is trying to draw in 24
bits. In the near time to cook
chance to release a small DE
MO-product on the Amiga.
ZXP: And finally, to acquaint us with the composition
Groups and roles ...
ROM: Composition (for oktyabr'97) is as follows:
ROM - organize, conception, main gfx,
main design, code, crack (?);
FUX - main code, design, music, some
gfx, crack (?);
MIC - main composing, design, code,
gfx;
KOLVER - code, sysop;
KSA - composing, code, consult;
GENA - code (?), Music.

_________________________________________Brain Wave Corp. (C)
X-Project Association
_________________________________________ZXP: At this time no
question about the first encounter with SPECCY, so let's get
right to the "cause": the date of formation, in-ranks,
ideological platform ... EX.: Team Brain Wave was founded in
November 1997. It was conceived not by a bare "I want to and we
had our own group." We took into account the most important
thing - well thought-out projects, and a craving for their
creation. Everything began in 1995. Then I learned about the
existence of a MEGASOFT'a (later to steep-dera), with whom we
have amassed a small group of our first, and then developed
into a fairly large pool of any action - Star Group.
ZXP: How did all this happen?
EX.: How was it? And as it usually happens in
childhood: wanted joint
topically to do something on the Speccy,
no matter what, just to do, do
do ... Immediately distribute their
"Duties" (still wondering
as we have quickly done so). And in our
Brain'sah flashed onto the idea of creating
Demo.
ZXP: Impressive! Not just a demo, and with DEMO
big-letters ...
EX.: Well, by that time developed the idea
passed for the line Megademo! Names
of it is too soon - "ULTRA". Leach
but my opinion about it - this is
that it is little more than has passed for
middle line of coolness. But
the main thing - to start, give yourself an incentive and
I think that such an incentive, we get
Do ...
ZXP: Hmm, what is important - start, this question
grew controversial (that some believe
that the main thing - finish ...). But it's all
philosophy, and life is life - Naver
Noe was a lot of problems
you faced?
EX.: Yes, the philosophy of philosophy, but all
the world goes on. Affected
and lack of experience, and experienced coders ...
Finally, after about a year ULTRA
Megademo was appended to all follows
follow from the consequences.
ZXP: Well, how! Imagine how many follows
Claw "effects" that way by degrees
forty in the process of "flushing" ...
EX.: Incidentally, what about the demo, I've even seen her
in price-list'e any group. Those
Now everything seems asleep on my shoulder, we
felt free - not least
Lo stress. Ideas come one after
one after another and left. With few
more than a year we have been written yet another
but the Demo "Global Emotion", two games
("The Scorched Earth" and "Chopper Du
el "), as well as releases have to
frame, but I remember X-OUT, MEGANOVA,
HELLFIRE. Global Emotion was napisa
but somewhat later. It is fully
consists of digital tunes, SOD
ranyh with IBM. Chopper Duel - one of the
the most playable games on the Speccy for
two. The game has 50 levels and takes
she just simply about 70 sec.
ZXP: A-ah, it's about these small helicopters
letikov-killers?
EX.: That's it! It is the most ... And finally, The
Scorched Earth. If you saw the game
Tank Wars, then our game a little of its
recalls. Additionally made:
protection of tanks, the menu during the game and
Other bells and whistles. Demo version of the game you
can be found in the annex to magazine
(May be ...).
ZXP: It's time to get acquainted with the composition
and the distribution of roles in the group ...
Brain Wave Corp.
... Even before the creation of this group had very
interesting projects, the lingering We head. I totally went
into the development of ideas and design. At the same time we
have worked over the union in the city of people with "Genius"
deviations in favor of Spectrum.
The present composition:
Extremer aka X (Dima). Organizing, Design,
Graphics
Megus aka Roma ........ Coding, Musics, PC
Virtual aka Lech ...... Coding, Musics
Pilgrim aka Andrew .... Coding, Hacking,
Dr. Uksus aka Sanja .... Coding, Hacking

Amazing SS aka Serge. Graphics
Phantom aka Denis ..... Writing, Review Kav
Gluker aka Andrew ..... Writing, Graphics
EX.: But I'm sure it has not yet
all ... After all, "men of genius on the light
those few "(to quote). If you have a possibility
niknet idea about the association, the
just call me or write.
ZXP: What about plans, projects?
EX.: At the moment a lot of time otni
mayut our projects, we Sobey
raemsya surprise you in 1998.
Most of the time occupied by design and
thinking programs, but beyond that
still have school (okay that last
year), friends, fellowship and personal problems
us. We work hard, do not peck
Dai hands and .. and .. and - in general ... :) Fundamentals
directions of our making'a - is
gaming and system (application)
program, namely:
- Color Eye Visual Studio'98
- ZX-Word'98
- OS for Speccy
- Dynasty: Rise For Rule
- Babylon-5 (workname)
- Brain Wave Promotion - Verbal Diarrhea
Eurodemo
- ZX Spectrum History Encyclopaedia
(Workname)
- Release of his own newspaper - BrainWare
OnLine
I want to draw your attention to the encyclopedia, as it is,
in my opinion, should be the most ambitious, informative, went
down in the history of the smallest, and at the same time,
popular Speccy. Would greatly appreciate any
assistance and cooperation with you. At this
the time needed only an autobiography (at your option)
remarkable people career advancement and support of computer
ZX-Spectrum. You can also go down in history as the author of
articles and essays about computer. Once again, we are pleased
to cooperate with you and look forward to your suggestions. All
this in our application to the magazine. (BrainWave Info # 3).
Need a little reservation about the OS, since original idea
belonged to Pavel Fedin of Moscow / (095) 326-53-75 / we
support the her and offer to engage in this necessary work. On
this, perhaps, can be and stop. If there are any
questions you can ask them through the editorial board or
directly to me - Extremer'u.

_________________________________________Интервью With RST # 7
(C) 1998 (R) soft. _________________________________________
Prologue. "- So I'm a millionaire!" - Cried Ostap with a
cheerful surprise. - Mechtyidiota come true! Ostap suddenly
sad. It is time-Zila ordinariness of the situation, he was
shown elk strange that the world has not changed siyuzhe
second, and that nothing, absolutely-Nitsche th did not happen
around ... Mystery drop-one goal is reached, do nothing else,
and we must change the profession ... " Approximately the same
and I felt after taking a Rst7intervyu. How was it? The idea of
an interview to La me a long time ... And so it turned out
that Dima was in my house with poslevstrechi MAXom IWAMOTO and
I persuaded him to to be interviewed for ZX-POWER. We took
Roganskogo beer, sat in the kitchen, took ... Chinese recorder
and ... That this Timeout - to judge you. Legend: RS - it
I, (R) soft, R7 - Rst7.
. . .
RS> Full Name.
R7> Dmitry V. Oparin.
RS> Age.
R7> 24 years.
RS> Where did your nickname?
R7> O, with an alias is a funny story ...
RS> is clearly related to the 80 CPU? :)
R7> No, the idea was not so little. Once upon a time all rushed
to collect the "first Leningrad. "They had to build and has
developed a wonderful method of adjustment. if you include a
wheelbarrow without PZUhi - it all screen "mattress" to score.
And while I guys explained (itself, of course, understood),
where does this mattress ... And he's taken due to the fact
that the ROM command RST # 38 carries, scoring a stack. In
those days, I still Z80 assembler did not know, I know only 580
assembler. There's this team called
RST7. :) Oh and just stuck! :)
RS> Yeah, interesting story. I honestly did not expect such a
response. I thought that it was taken ... In general, quite
unexpected for me the story ...
R7> true what they say names, which
invent, the most apt.
RS> How did you start programming in
Spectrum? How did this happen? Gathered, probably, Leningrad 1
...
R7> Yes, the first Leningrad. I had had
on kassetke GENS with MONSom ...
RS> Yeah, it means the first programs you
were sistemki. Obviously not playing program ...
R7> And the toys I had something that was ...
Three pieces of some prog ... I did before
on MSXe pig.
RS> I'm specifically interested in this:
about what year did you start?
R7> In the year, probably 91. Also on the tape
tried to write something and say -
Bulshit, BULSHIT! We did the wheelbarrow with the drive. Also
decided to cook up something, TASM had to do. :)))
RS> Yeah ... And that was before the Spectrum?
R7> Oh, and before the Spectrum was a lot of things.
The first computer that I have something
pedal was a specialist ...
RS>:))!!!
R7> Chudnenkaya this design. Well, that
More? RKshka was still. Too funny thing.
RS> When was it about?
R7> about 86-87 year ... Then at school,
when studied, the class was MSXov ... As
"Zagarelos! .. :)))
RS> Yeah, MSX, as I understood it, the car really is the best,
for which it was applied Z80 ...
R7> Vosmibitka. Yes, generally it is the best
eight-bit machine. That is, only that it may be, this is
Commodore C64.
RS> Maybe ... And how you taught programming? You have someone
helped teach?
R7> himself had trained, most up to
total income.
RS> How did you meet KLAVom, MAXom? C
nebezizvestnymi such people ...
R7> C MAXom I met in the smoking room. When was podkursah in
HAI.
RS> When was this?
R7> Well, it was a ... I was in the final year student ...
Obtained 89-90 academic year ... Somewhere like that. A
conversation about MSXov. MAX: I'm not here to Pedu
have ... (Pedagogical Institute). Then, respectively, and I got
there. Style company in Of course, we selected a wonderful. :)
And with KLAVom I met ... MAX, then on
beam Spectrum WARESom traded, well
and KLAV too ... And on the beam, of course,
all familiar with each other. Well, in one person, so it's 100%!
RS> with you, I also met there .. :)))
A Jura Home'soft is later joined to you?
R7> Yes, somewhere so ... I do not remember.
RS> How and why did you have an idea to organize CODEBUSTERS?
Why, incidentally, she called?
R7> Team organized a general-how
MSXovskaya.
RS>!!?
R7> That is even before we started
hard pedal on the Spectrum. Why is it so
is called ...? Damn, I swear, I've already
I do not remember! .. :)))
RS> I understand this was due either to
CODE MASTERS, either GHOST BUSTERS. Mixture?
R7> And here it is ... All this was so long ago that nobody and
do not remember. While it may IWAMOTO still remembers ...
RS> As I understand it, do you prefer more
more to be a programmer than a hacker?
R7> In principle, yes. Although in general, say
Honestly, no shame in that I do not see. I
at the time nadizassembliroval lot of programs. And this is a
stock of experience has given not only on programming
techniques and a By hacking that ...
RS> After the wave megadem LYRA II and SHOCK you
decided to write my DEMO, and I think you
succeeded. That was what?
R7> It was a SATISFACTION. God forbid memory
we finished it in spring 1994.
RS> Note that immediately after this went
huge wave megadem, and shovels.
R7> Yes ...
RS> began to organize the group ...
R7> Before all hard ... Everyone on
yourself!
RS> But what megademo? Need GFX,
MusicMaker needed, etc. In other words,
need a group. Everyone started to join in
group and say: "What we're worse than we can write a demo?".
And threw the main power writing a dem ...
R7> Well, we leave the issue without comment: "Worse still, or
not?" :))
RS> OK! After you got your second megadema -
INSULT ...
R7> Spring 95 ...
RS> Frankly, so far for me
this is the best demo. Although I somehow fool them
sr. I do not know how you can be
EYEACNE something stronger ... Feels kind of nostalgia, just ...
R7> Just ponazhimat a space. :))
RS> Yes! :))
R7> Or, accordingly, not ponazhimat. :)))
RS> I'm surprised that even then KLAV
wrote good music. It is a pity that he has,
as I understand, it does not. I want to say
in your group ...
R7> Although he is a wheelbarrow, though not
Spectrum. What is the difference, MOD, you can write
on anything would be an editor.
RS> What effects you most attracted to
muzykalkah? Such as 3D-graphics, to show
a bunch of floating shit'a ...
R7> You know, Vovik what was going on. I think we should make a
good design. This important. Can not be cool coder, and
make a good DeMouy only because the
its cool design ...
RS> I see. I know you had a gap in the
Spectrum of activity, when you're on
time left with him. When you came AMIGA.
R7> Yes.
RS> Besides, you worked at IBM?
R7> worked and had to work.
RS> In addition to these machines you are on something realties
worked? For example, at the Commodore. Or you
only heard about it?
R7> C64? Well, no.
RS> played, maybe ...
R7> Yes, the game. But I am so very into toys
I do not play ...
RS> Well, it's known, what you do.
More serious cases.
R7> No, well, what? Purely on-jokes can be
If a cool toy.
RS> It goes ...
R7> But not so that days and nights sitting
a wheelbarrow batsat ... You can collect four and a vodka in
the Duma members to practice each other ...
RS> Why do you still continue to write
on the Spectrum? Machine is something at the moment
not the most ... cool. There AMIGA, which you
love so much ...
R7> Yes, simply by-jokes! Pure Jigsaws,
purely in-jokes.:) The more you understand your computer, which
consists of 50 buildings shallow logic ... Itself cool ...
RS> But it is still worth something and now
$ 100. But AMIGA 600 can be for the same
money to buy. So the cost of these
machine equal. What is the meaning to write
Spectrum, if there AMIGA?
R7> Spectrum now so that they, perhaps more than pisyukov.
RS> I agree.
R7> It's even taking into account the fact that pisyukov
just Nemer. Counting is not be, but I think the Spectrum still
more. :)
RS> Yeah, sure. More so recently as it became popular in the
scoop ...
R7> last time - it's about 10 years. :)) Say so.
RS> I think that was the moment when all
thought - is about to die Spectrum.
R7> Yes, definitely!
RS> Do you think he died in the same
Poland, England, America? In my opinion, is
long time! Now he is very popular here in scoop. But it is my
opinion. Now write Toys foreign firms?
R7> How do you say? Guys, British,
that there is a computer magazine release, English ... How is
it called?
RS> ENIGMA?
R7> Oh no! There's slipped some phrase about the fact that
someone out there from companies More pedal. :))
RS> But in fact the West has decayed ... Spectrum
TAM has outlived his own, and it makes no sense to continue to
his writing, when the same AMIGi and
became cheap pisyuki ... Thee happy
Spectrum as a car? Its new features, graphics. I do not really,
for example, like usability of the screen in terms of breakdown
on the third ... In short, that you are not satisfied
and suits in the Spectrum.
R7> satisfied with my wild simplicity! All
brilliant - easy! Another thing is that
Spectrum is famous for the most powerful 8-bit
processor and a very small screen size. That is, the ratio of
CPU to fit the screen very good.
RS> What is your opinion about performance?
R7> do you mean?
RS> I mean the clock ...
R7> Yes, the normal performance! It is clear that we must be
able to write well. On any processor, even if he
supernavorocheny, with furious clock frequency if written by ..
ny through .. ny and succeed. Here is a good example - vindoza!
Inhibits just wild!
RS> What is missing in the Spectrum? Or you
all satisfied?
R7> me, in principle, all suits. I
so used to it, that ... What
there is not enough ... I was at a very MSXe
very pleased that there mepper made
- The page can be included to any address.
If on the Spectrum with only # C000, then the
MSXe, there are 4 ports on the switch 16Kbayt. That, of course,
is much more convenient! But was accustomed to do without it ...
RS> What are your predictions, long live
More Spectrum? I mean a scoop. 2 years, 5 years? Maybe, as long
as people do not have the money and all currently able to buy
any IBMki?
R7> The process is long, long time coming, and this
question comes up every year. How much
Spectrum would live? Every year, someone
says: "Yes, in a year zagnetsya!". Such
for the past five years there. But
somehow still alive, so that any build any predictions about
this to me hard.
RS> Now on Spectrum hang a bunch of iron, what do you think
about this?
R7> I take it positively and himself
not a single alteration hereunto set my hand.
:) Most importantly, these alterations are not
made lightly. In the classic version
is not just a rework, and heaped all sorts of components such
as ATM, Profi. That is a lot hardware bloat, which as a result
nobody wants. More precisely, no one does not support. Another
thing is that if any additional hardware freaks should be for
something. Again, a beautiful thing - Finalization of 512
pixels horizontally. The same is the case, for example, for a
terminal program, so if someone picked up and editor wrote ...
But in principle, not what is written - that there is a long
time that same ZX-Word remake? This is also useful for
such things amazing. Accordingly,
revision should be not just an end in itself, that: "I have
here the devil knows that hung !"...
RS> And what about the controversy with Peter, with
Moscow, etc. What some want to hang
modem on one port for each other.
Yes, and the ports of memory expansion is always
had incompatibility problems of software ... AND
everyone defends their car, whether it is
ATM, Profi, Scorpion or the Pentagon.
R7> Yes, there is a struggle, I myself in this
fight involved a lot of time and a lot of
about this vehemently. Here's the deal:
if it is correct to this approach, then ....
it so, switching pages though the dials, but if you write some
program that requires a lot of brains, do some external driver
to switch pages and all. To a man whose
absolutely non-standard scheme - something
his thought, took the driver is altered, and all. Exactly the
same thing with the modem. Standard internal modem is taken? So
do the external driver, which deals with the fact that he has
the procedure: register number of the modem to read, write.
Everything! You have connected to other ports?
Rewrite this external driver. Approach
just need the right ...
RS> The only thing that is now not just happen inside Hayes
modems, which connect us. There are those that I find it hard
to describe them ...
R7> Yes, there CPSovskie modems. You see,
this is too much his own. It is with their software
est.Ya watched of course it is a miracle in Moscow.
(T.e.CPSovsky modem) Yes, bleak, darkly ...
This is an invention that no one on
Figures do not need ...
RS> not worth powder and shot ...
R7> Yes.
RS> Especially since Hayesy became cheap and
available modems.
R7> Yes, of course, but that there was no such wild
differences, makes external drayverki. Incidentally, the same
applies to file access. It would be nice to accept this as
granted. Due to a very simple, let's screw ...
RS> Speaking of screws. Some people who want to Spectrum not
only to play and write demos, and more creative work, want to
hang such as iron screw. As I understand it, your wiring diagram
coincides with ATMovskoy ...
R7> The situation is what? What is there scheme
connection to the devil? There, a pancake, 4 buffer.
Everything! More there's nothing there. Port numbers
it's like God put per capita - can make any, if only there was
no conflict. Another issue in the operating system ... Then
there is a file system on the screw, what about it? In this
regard, the most disgusting, that it was possible bungled
because it's the controller screws on Scorpion'e ... Only the
TR-DOS, and all! And then, since via .. ny!
RS> You have a format?
R7> Yes.
RS> 0N supports TR-DOSnye disc ... I
mean: TR-DOSnye files without any problems.
R7> Yes! I have done, in contrast to
Scorpion, its PZUshkoy. At the level of emulation VGshki, but
it does not matter.
RS> I very often see in muzykalkah label type: "Composed by
Rst7". You really are still writing music? You still in funny
writing in Protracker'e?
R7> In principle, yes. Sometimes it is necessary. :)
RS> What kind of games you like on the Spectrum?
Your favorite, or that you even think is good?
R7> On the Spectrum? Of the coolest toys that, in principle,
all the latest toys which boiled 128-e ... With two screens,
with pages ... It is not that just the memory load and
everything, and it boiled 128-e. There all sorts of TOTAL
RECALL, second and third ROBOCOP, EXTERMINATOR ... Well, here
it is all because of the latter. Can be long remembered.
They're actually all very cool. That is, they made the mother,
with good approach. And what a way for a separate ... I also do
not particularly play.
RS> What is your favorite game?
R7> general?
RS> Yes. Although you do not play ... :)
R7> You know, it pozhaluy STARTRACK.
RS>:))) I wonder ...
R7> But just the same ... Text that is on the IBM 360, 370. As
you can batsat with punch ... :)))
RS>:))) What is your opinion about the system software?
R7> Hmm, everyone, for example, considers its
Debt write ...
RS> His assembler! ...
R7> Yes. :)
RS> :)))) felling ...
R7> I'm talking about TASM. :))) This, of course, the rudder
was such that ..
RS> So is the whole saga!
R7> Yes, this epic years and years ...
RS> Since the first version ...
R7> He was the first, and it was also an assembler.
RS> After ZEUSa it was the best assembly.
But tell me, the first TASM you wrote on ZEUSe? I
know that many people back then wrote it in
it.
R7> In GENSe ...
RS> In GENSe? ... !
R7> Yes, he wrote, was exactly in GENSe, although
inside the assembler from ZEUS. ;)
RS>:)))
R7> I picked up and disassemble these 4 kilobytes! Well, in the
mold I had to write an assembler, well, I tore ... But I have
it figured out. I know how it works ...
RS> 4 versions you have already written her completely?
R7> No, the assembler where the same ...
RS> And what about hash?
R7> So this same procedure work with the table
Tag! More there ... No, but of course there
touched every optimization. Assembler
there are enough speed. What else
of the software programs? Perhaps, STS.
RS> He is still considered the best ...
R7> (offended) What is considered !!!?..
He is the best! You can call any other debugger?
RS> No ... : (
R7> which allows you to do the same as that
STS. I can think of something, let Scorpion'ovsky shadow
monitor ... Well this is ... Sucks rare color! :)))))))
RS> :))))))))
R7> Natural! :))) That is, in general,
superklassnaya idea, but ... just disgraced themselves.
Although I must say that I've seen yet debugger friend
Sendetskogo ... (Sound of pouring beer) Sendetsky it to anyone
not gave, because he's still with the hardware
lotion works ...
RS>!!!
R7> There's even a debugger - a miracle! That is to
It can do anything you want to do.
For example, tracing where the hardware ...
RS>!!!
R7> Breakpoints are placed in hardware.
That is, it does not affect memory in general!
RS>!!! COOOOOL! ...
R7> You do realize that this is enough.
Anything you can do ... But Sendetsky not give it to anyone. At
its two was a TR-DOS 5.01, when we SATISFACTION
allowed, this debugger set a breakpoint on # 3D2F, and when
she went toe to port # FF to write ... Notch! :))), The address
must be substituted. :)))
RS>:))) Cool! ... I have this here
interesting question ... Now all started en masse connect the
modem ...
R7> I welcome this business! Long overdue! ...
RS> In Moscow, as far as I know, it's a long time
have already done. And the appropriate software written ...
R7> Well, in Moscow, where all specific. They
long fuck this CDOSovskim modem ... I, frankly, dumb about it
remember. Understand how ... Of course FIDOrastizm - is a
disease! ;))) On it and FIDOrast. :))
RS> Now there are many BBS, and general support ZXNet Spectrum
directions. For example, we have in Kharkov X-PROJECT BBS.
R7> Everything is cool, but! At one time I was
very upset with the guys from FANTASY, when
they are on your server ZXNet'ovsky posted
fourth TASM ... Which was sold, was
agreement with INFORCOMom, which I have
it was bought ... They also have the same money back ... Well
INFORCOM - this is also the one more company.:)) I had seen the
price of 25 per tyrov ROM TASMom ... I almost lusnul! 25 tyrov
- a 5 presidents ... Well, I think not is the secret of the
fact that for TASM I got twice for $ 50 ...
RS>:)))
R7> Once in the third and once in the fourth. Stalker'u This
was good more, he regularly receives $ 50. It produces versions
of most ...
RS> :))))) True, they do not always and not all
work ... I have so far, starting with
Version 5 is not everything works as expected, sometimes
reset ...
R7> He is always some bugs ...
RS> Perhaps the most normal of all the versions I have is 4.4
and the older 3.3.
R7> Yeah, like I use to STS3.2
to using the cache to do anything. Because the fourth - there
balalaika when PZUshka off ... He has a keyboard procedures
there climbs. :)) You have to use third STSom. What is the
difference, nothing special as there is not added besides ...
RS> Do you even seen the ZX-POWER?
R7> Generally seen ...
RS> Well, what is your opinion?
R7> You see ... On the one hand, any DiskMagazine - a good
thing, but there are too many to hell not need to "blizzard".
RS> Which plan do you think?
R7> In terms of, you know ...
RS> Jokes?
R7> Well, no, this is normal! Would have been even
jokes are not the bearded ...
RS> :))))
R7> Who ... :))) Which we have each other
in kindergarten told. :)) No, I
Of course, exaggerate, but the situation is. If a specific
example, the question arises here in the fig in the ZX-FORMATe
write about AMIGu? This is also the same as that start
vindozu describe.
RS>:))
R7> We are actually the same as a little idea attended bungled
the newspaper ...
RS> Specifically CODEBUSTERS?
R7> Yes. She even had the name ...
RS> What is it?
R7> Well? MAJORWARES! There's even all of it is written, the
entire span of hypertext, text formatter ... And I do magazines
about I can say such a thing. Here at AMIGe, for example, such
DiskMagazin'ov, live, so say, on stage now, there is probably
about a hundred (!!!) pieces.
RS> !!!///
R7> And about the same on the Commodore
C64, which ... But Commodore C64 - it is generally a separate
conversation. :) The elite wheelbarrow. By the way, if you read
them, then we can a lot of things of value from there to
subtract.
RS>:))) You said in the newspapers a lot
too much bullshit. What, in your opinion,
should write about? .. For someone to write? For
users or programmers and hackers?
R7> Vovik, you know, what's wrong ... Any universal - it is, in
general, fraught with consequences. If you, for example,
begin to make a magazine that it was
interesting read and full Lameroo and let me, I'm afraid it
will not work.
RS> You mean that you support the direction of ...
R7> Well, yes, somehow have to keep the direction. Get at least
ZX-Format, though SPECTROFON, though the same ZX-POWER, and a
bunch there any ... (!) In principle, the same thing!
Everywhere ... I think we should still try to differentiate,
that is to choose a direction.
RS> I understand. I like that like in
these papers? Of course, no jokes and no
public / private BBS, and information such as about iron ...
Excellent article were about ZILOG and Z380 ... True, I do not
remember what newspaper I read of it. Whether in
ZXNews, whether in the ONLINE ...
R7> By the way, ONLINE - a rare
cool example of a good NYUSOVOY newspaper!
So there HOTNEWS most IT! That's it! Fully understand the
sections of the open / closed BBSki, about fresh WARES. Y She
and style of presentation is as nyusovaya newspaper. In this
regard, great! Since then, By the way, we all dragged ourselves
with Andryusha Isaev ... At one time published in ONLINE
Service & Support. And a man wrote this & Support is ... Not
that we write in a newspaper, overview videos, namely rulno.
Actors, film budget, on which nominations, almost not even
those who translated the ... RULES! It may seem, what relation
Service & Support has to Spectrum Newsome? :)) I also can say
that next to Newsome Releases Toy kraknutyh ... And so on.
Videovarez straight from the tin, too, because cool! :)) Also
our people! :)) By the way, good movies I love to watch.
RS> Obviously not soap operas. :)) We return to
Demo ... What is the demo you would single out especially?
R7> Pretty much from 97 ENLIGHT a I see from PROGRESSovskoy
demushki. This is the one that SHIT FOR BRAINS. This is it!
Guys, of course ... Guys, of course, chase the devil!
They do not think that stairway to heaven can be a ladder to
hell. :) Narkomanstvo yet to no good arguments. But deal! .. Me
as doping is enough vodka dine. :)
RS>:))) I see ...
R7> No, well done guys do. There are,
true, too ...
RS> Which group do you think more
keep afloat? Are doing something
Real ...
R7> The guys from PROGRESSa, they are in general,
especially do not do anything. Of these commands
very, very matter - it's DIGITAL REALITY. They're really much
to do. And Well done guys, although, frankly, not everything
they do .. But try!
RS> Should I write a demo? Or at ENLIGHTe
may be something to show more serious?
Sistemki etc.
R7> I mean, demomeykerskie PARTY held worldwide on different
computers and etc. That must be the guys to come ... Beer,
yes to vodka drink. There's also the people involved ... Take
me. I do demomeykerstvom ... If you start to list what I do,
then we must shut up in the toilet for two weeks ... And the
list. And systems programming, and iron I
do, and lots and lots of things and not just on
Spectrum ...
RS> I know that your skate not only programming. You're still a
very good understanding of micro-and just in electronics.
R7> I personally think is not particularly computer programmer,
rather zhelezyachnikom.
RS> What is most interesting, I too think so. :)))
R7> I mean, programming - a collection of two dozen of some
truths, which combining with each other, can be obtained here
rezultat.A electronics - it is very serious thing, even though
it's pretty much interconnected.
RS> One other helps.
R7> Absolutely!
RS> In your work is also increasing
knowledge? ..
R7> Well, yes!
RS> A few words say about ENLIGHT'96 and 97.
R7> I personally at 96 was not present, so
that ...
RS> You mean it can just say something? You saw that people
wrote ...
R7> Yes, I saw a video with 96 ENLIGHT a. Well! 96 ENLIGHT
general rulno leak! As I understand it ... 97 ENLIGHT ...
people can not drink!
RS>!!!
R7> All drunk as a pig ... Yes, and the
I actively participated! Stairway to heaven organized. Cannot
scored ...
RS>:)))
R7> In general, as a party "to drink beer"
all failed! Well, as organizational issues are addressed, I
really did not like.
RS> What do you think about 98 ENLIGHT a?
R7> What do I think?
RS> Are you going there? ..
R7> I think: in general, would you?! ..
RS> Yeah, it's understandable! ;)
R7> Sobolev said: "Fuck you want? I
This will not do. "All of his and sent three letters, what, in
general, correctly did so.
RS> On which machine you are working,
on Pentagon'e?
R7> Yes.
RS> About TASMa we said ... That
still there will be realized? There were long-awaited macros ...
R7> Vovik do not know! If something is there and will finish,
then ... TASM 4.12 - this latest version of the TR-DOSovskaya.
There is a later version ... Now, not yet done, but will be
made the object files, so to speak poluskompilirovannye.
Libraries, etc. It is necessary to ... I sling ink quietly
Turbo C. C compiler ...
RS>!!!
R7> Naturally, the linking of needs, the library
etc. That is ...
RS> Need support ...
R7> Well, yes! In general, he has changed for the assembler
will not.
RS> Maybe some trivia ...
R7> Yes, if something changes, so it
some cosmetic finishing touch in the shell.
RS> This version, I mean the fourth,
already looks much steeper than the previous ones. Not
mention of the possibilities ... Well done help, which is
called an overlay ...
R7> By the way, about helpa, Hussein did not
made ... I asked him, well, Shura Kick
documents on the Z80. His slip of hypertext helpu - nothing to
do. There was also a wily, cunning plan. Do you make OTIR,
mouse E / H. It is you on! Flags, all garbage! Which,
incidentally, is very convenient. No, of course I know all
team, and if desired, can no assembly programmirovat.No
sometimes have to climb in the handbook, which flags to watch
... Until I still can not remember the type of LDI. As he
where PO, PE, BC = 0 processes. I can not remember! :) In
general, and FIG is not necessary, You can always look in the
directory. But wanted it to be culturally ...
RS> You have made a TASMe bit operations?
R7> No he would not! Vovik, we need you
debeshki as bits - write a macro!
RS>:)))
R7> Who will parse this a bit
line. There are already some things are not going to take a
matter of principle. In Specifically, work with bats. It's time
for I think, damn binary, decimal,
hexadecimal system ...
RS> (resentfully) Well, it is clear, understandable ...
R7> For example, I can manually RADIX50
transfer. :)))))
RS> (Again offended) I got it! Simply write your plate ...
R7> O Lord! 16 steps to learn! Is
it's so hard!
RS> Let's digress from the iron and bytes.
Delve into your personal life ... Your
hobby? Cutting fret? .. :))))
R7> Hobbies ... Hobbies ...
RS> Drinking vodka? :)))
R7> No, this is a way of life. Alcoholism - a
profession. :)
RS> As BG said, my life - a hobby.
R7> Yes, I think something like that.
RS> What kind of music do you prefer to listen to?
Your favorite style ... Or direction.
R7> Music should be good! ..
Rock'n'Roll, Heavy, Doom, Death ... That is
music, not gorlopanstvo!
RS> Which is your favorite band? .. Metallica?
R7> I think, still BEATLES.
RS> And a few group is called.
R7> BEATLES, Dirizhopli, Stones, Metallica
to the same hits, DOOMovskie guys - My
Dying Bride, Paradisy ... Yes, a lot of things. In
all have some kicks! From shovels, so
is, perhaps, different people ... Sasha Chernetsky - the same
wheel!
RS> Not to mention the Crematoria ...
R7> Absolutely!
RS> Dima, you love to drink besides water?
:)
R7> Ahh .. Beer, vodka, wine each ... Alcohol
polyublyaem - corkscrew run. :)
RS> You're not married?
R7> No, not married. :)))
RS> no plan and is not expected?
R7> Yes, overboard!
RS> You do not want to repeat my fate, and
fate will soon befall MAXa IWAMOTO?
R7> This case is ... It's still early to talk about ...
Drink vodka necessary, vodka! :)) Razdolbaystvom
do!
RS> Where are you working on?
R7> AAA ... It does not matter!
RS> What would you like to see your work? .. Lying on the couch
and drink vodka? ;)
R7> Yes! :)))
RS> :))))
R7> To razdolbaystvom could do with a clear conscience. Well,
even so desirable, and the money to pay. :))
RS> I understand. :))) In TASMovskih commercial projects, you
still earn money programming?
R7> Sometimes the guys on the order of some
I write software. This is mainly on pisyuke done. This is not
money, so that the pocket a little bit dripped ...
RS> Standard question! What are your plans
for the future? .. Get plenty of beer? :)))
R7> As in the song: "Another thirty years, and
then ... "
RS> That's right! :)))))
R7> And in general: "We live in order to
die tomorrow! ". But what are your plans?" There is not
know that the evening will be! And some plans for the near
future ...
RS> OK! What suggestions would you like to give hackers and
programmers on the Spectrum?
R7> wish it alone - do not be a lamer!
That's enough! :))
RS> It depends in whose eyes be lamer ...
R7> Vovik, lamer even in Africa Lamer!
The only thing that lamerizm - an incurable disease. Or maybe
not, unfortunately. :))
RS> GOOD! I have exhausted all of their questions.
Hopefully, people will be interested in this ...

Inc. (C) X-Project Association
_________________________________________ FROM THE EDITOR: In
one hilarious vesenniyden in our town there were two
nichemosobo not remarkable personality, poured-in seanmcsean
large flow of visitors, turis-Tov and the Western invaders. :))
It seems that there is up to them to anyone no matter, chtotak
they leave, after wandering for some vremyapo dusty and noisy
streets, public transport and potolkavshisv poglazev
nadostoprimechatelnosti Kharkov ... But etobylo not. They
waited, not workers' ki customs, not employees of the criminal
ro-zyska not ferocious controllers, and we waited - X-Project
Association, in kachestvepochetnyh guests. Who were these
visitors? Their names can be anything you will not tell you -
this is not some venerable "Celebrity", not "monsters of the
world ZX", (Yet), but who knows what they will
tomorrow? ;))
And because the interlocutors they were interesting and fun,
the editors magazine found it possible to provide
Samples of these "talks" to the readers ... So, is - in front
of us Evgeny Malkov (Tim Kelly) and Eugene Safronov (CrazyMan),
representatives of the Donetsk Group KGS Inc.
ZXP: Maybe we should start with a more detailed
sentation, so to speak,
introduc'inga your team ...
Tim: Probably introduced. I, Tim Kelly,
(E. Malkov) - organizer, manager,
critic, idea generator, a screenwriter (not
confused with the "scenery":)
CrM: Eugene Safronov (CrazyMan) - basic
Noah programmer group, generator and
implementer of the ideas for the Protection of programs ...
ZXP: That is to say, a central defender. :)
Tim: At home, we left the other members of our
Team:
TashKey (Svetashev Vitaly) - critic
musician, computer programmer, is the respect for
isplay people in the group.
Fester (Mikhalchenkov Andrew) - artist
nickname of the programmer.
Highlander (Didenko Dmitry) - program
Mist, artist.
Brother Highlander (Didenko Sergey) - prog
rammist, like his brother.
The overall age composition - 151 year average
average age - 27 years.
ZXP: Wow, 151 a year! Just think! This
confirms the fact that the Spectrum all
ages "...:)) But you
Still fairly young team
Platform ZX, when you "started"?
Tim: Our group was formed in autumn-winter
1996 from the core group of Golden
Studio and who joined us a few
programmers.
ZXP: KGS somehow stands for? Or is it
secret?
Tim: Why the secret? Title Search
held long and hard for this
reread all available Fantasy
cally literature. Was selected as a
author and invited eleven wa
invariants of group names, of which
joint effort was selected graduate
flax version of "The Knights of Ghosts
and Shadows Inc. ", in other words KGS
Inc.
ZXP: Sounds somewhat "afterlife", but I pa
zocharovan - I had thought that this
KGS - an analogue of the KGB or MVD ... :)))
CrM: Then we would talk to you in
elsewhere and at other times. :)
ZXP::-o But I had not thought ... :)
But now, I think it's time to
acquaint the readers with your figure
completely.
Tim: Ready joint project of the Art Work Cre
ative Group and KGS Trading Department
- The game "Mirror" reported with
battle alloy vast experience Spectrum
electric adventyurostroeniya and their own
ideas. Although "joint project" - is
loudly said, we still take in
him a small part. Was written
for a bunch of small utilities, including
those on the PC. Especially for those
who does not have access to a computer
Network fidonet we prepare ezhene
individual newspaper "The Mirror Fido", which
Heaven is nothing but
as correspondence in conferences
REAL.SPECCY and ZX.SPECTRUM, prepared
lennuyu and executed properly
to be read without any hindered
tions relating to architecture Speck
ki.
Getting ready for the following products:
ZX-Windows (this is only a working title) - an operating
system similar to the Windows 95. This is an analogue to
Spectrum'e (Proemulirovany even its glitches and brakes
;). But seriously, this system is written in order to make it
more convenient user interaction with the computer.
"A story on senses" - Interface
text adventyura with a fantastic story.
"The Throne of the Emperor" - the game RPG-style
contains in itself more than two thousand of locations, many
operating independently of Player objects, sea charts.
For distribution of copyright products has been created KGS
Trading Department - department dealing with management,
trading, market research programs for the ZX-Spectrum and
support "Vitchiznyanogo virobnika" (for not knowing
Ukrainian language - a domestic manufacturer.) Established
commercial contacts with XL-Design, Copper Feet, Famous Faces
Factory, X-Project Association, and many others.
ZXP: By the way, the demo version of "The Mirror" I form
cases, even more than that - I took it.
It is quite exciting, and if the full
version at the same level playing
"With our vdovolstviem" ...
CrM: Full version and more refined
quality superior to the demo.
ZXP: Well, it pleases, but the theme demo ver
sions, we'll come back, but for now let's
talk about things more global and
I would even say, philosophical. Than
for you to do is Spectrum, CA
something in your life it takes?
Tim: Although I represent here all my
command, but the "sign" for all
I will not, myself I can tell,
that for me the Spectrum - more
than a computer is my hobby, kind of
Creativity, part of the soul ...
CrM: About myself I can say the same thing, I
Speccy dedicate all my spare time.
ZXP: But in parallel you are doing and races
propagation of software ensure
of how do I know?
Tim: We also get more software sales made
precisely these reasons - the desire to "Stretch
Th Spectrum of "nothingness" does not give
him to "die". It's no secret
that the "pirates" and some hackers efforts
slowly violate copyrights, otbi
curve from the authors any desire to work
further. We only deal with Lega
lnym distribution of programs, hundreds of
rudnichaya directly with authors and
urge to do the same and others.
ZXP: Yes, today it is very,
a very urgent problem, I think
many had to deal with
"Piracy" in many parts of this
is considered quite normal. K
Unfortunately, and Kharkiv is not used
exception - here you will not find a practical
virtually any authoring version
except, perhaps, local. Causes
here are many: it nenalazhennaya Us
with authors, and the presence of some soft
to say, moral monster, spitting
copyright, and neprosveschen
sequence "of the majority of users from
with respect to legal and "pirate"
Disc ... But I think your examples
results and we will try to fix there
sponding situation.
CrM: Well, always glad to help.
ZXP: What about your "taste"
in the ocean? What programs do you expect
read?
CrM: I like to play.
Tim: I, too, mostly sticking igro
curve themes ...
ZXP: So you think that the important thing is that
keeps Spectrum afloat - is
game?
Tim: Yeah, we all decided to start a series of u
rovyh projects since the last
too little appears game
NIS, particularly interesting. All poche
Therefore, something stuck on the logical and
"Dizzeobraznyh" games, and yet there
there exists a lot of other, less developed
genres.
ZXP: Your opinion on the development prospects
