History - The story of KrNews VTS'a.

       History KrNews from VTS'a

 VTS'Y2K



    And now I want to tell stories about
create KrNews, so illuminate some
dark places. The story will lead the first person, because no 
claim to completeness. 


    In general, in September 1996, I personally doapgreydil his 
"Krasnodar" to drive, and has since become zhelezyachnikom

;-) By the end of the year I izurodaval memory
got hold of 128K and pull up myzykalku, kovoks and buffer 
(percent were frail) and sea ​​of ​​micro-and macro-glitches, 
when This was in order and Tasm3.0

magazines like ZX-Format. And he began to rapidly
gain mind-mind;) By mid-1997
I was often appear under the bridge
and I crawled up to the rumors of ZX-Net'ah. In
While in our get-together in college (see
KrNews'1 article in the merger) become
ideas are identical to those that pushed, Azure, for example, 
and others, in short of ZX-Net. It was decided to purchase 
modems and do BBS. For unknown reasons, all

long stalled. By this time I
reached Nemo, and he mentioned in passing
Cooperation ("export of technology").

    At the same time had to be determined with a grid paper, 
the type and OnLine ZXNews. Actually, while they were

Leaders and veterans gazetostroeniya representing to the same 
two views on the shell of the newspaper - 64cpl continuous text 
OnLine and 42cpl arrows, menus and icons in ZXNews.


    In general, it so happened that I
rolled happiness in the form of "nominal" scholarships for a 
semester (almost lemon), and conversation with Nemo reached (in 
jest) to produce Kaev. In short, I ordered the "first supply" 
(ZF'7) plus 5 modems. 

    At the same time the goods made by Nemo
their dirty deed in my brain and I became
increasingly active, swinging
and on the shell for the newspaper. There should be
clarify my programmers' abilities.
Since 1992, I sat under the Basic and made a couple of major 
programs (commercials for 10-15k text). While I was totally 
alone and even with almost no books. In 1995 I enrolled in

College (electronic instrument), and
I first heard the word "assembler" and
"Drive" and knew where I was, "Turgenev's Bridge ... For 1996 I
pokonnektil AFM with BASIC, and then to
I have heard the meaning of the programming on the bare ACME 
for the Spectrum, thanks largely to the book "How to write a 
game in assembly language, sent to me by COD by Scorpion 
(although I have asked only price lists, and just speculate

that I am studying AFM). For what they are, of course, thank 
you. 

    Thus, for the period of about one year from the 
installation floppy, and I, along with Flint'a figured in ACME, 
and scratched and pererazrestoril a simple but

unknown toy, first in
I even played the SPECA).
Although it is still no one sees.

    So, write a shell expressed
desire for more advanced coders, rather than
I. Personally, I knew it was Flint and
J.P., as a minimum. As it turned out a lot
later, preparations were in Striker'a and
even someone under organayzingom GAS13,
and even Viper'a (one-frame, 64cpl, per-pixel scrolling to the 
crackdown, although not full screen, and b / w). In this case, 
J.P. adhered Design OnLine, citing his min capacity for 
transmission by modem, and Flint and I-ZXNews.


    Realizing that the modems are on their way, and
lazy coders knows no limits;) I became a
half-jokingly, to "help", excavated in the ZX-revue
procedures by SerzhSoft (arrow and pechatalka 42cpl) and 
bringing them to their own needs. At the same time was invented 
(by me) interface with the viewer like this arrangement of 
buttons. But it did not move further. Then I decided to do the 
rest. Actually, around these two procedures (Arrow and 
pechatalka) and raised the rest of the shell somewhere for two 
or three weeks. (In this case, I could go to XAS (ruliz).)

By the way, she slowed down, not only because
I am lamer, but also because the code
optimized in terms of (transfer
modem).

    And at the very last stage, I
brought the whole thing and demanded Maxx'u
materials. At the same time I myself vaguely
understand how to use text editors, as indicated by plain text 
in a zero Newsom. 

    Yes, the name. Because Newspaper Network was conceived with 
an eye to ZXNews and with no time to razdumyvaniya,

I decided to put "News". A "Kr" is derived from Krasnodar, 
because network was designed "KrZXNet", by analogy with Moscow 
- Msk, Saint-Petersburg - SPb, domains

second-tier internet, and the first letters in
MskZXNet and SPbZXNet. Well, Maxx was not
against. (Although at the time, Krasnodar
there was no specific domain in the internet, and right now a 
mess, so we come up with its reduction.)


    And the process of linking ... And crawling bugs ... One 
even such staunch and such a simple (showing my ability 
kodyaschie) work only 128k to open pages that first came out 
KrNews0, working through usr0, a A week later I had nailed a 
glitch (it was necessary to loader to keep the port # 7FFD in 
the system variable BANK_M # 5B5C), and left government version.


    But most of all I seek,
the process of linking-graphic fx ;-) Since
music, I was still able to choose, and edit the picture (for 
menus) still accounted for. And the troubles with drawing, I 
still from school ... :-O


    By the way, because finding the menus directly on a picture 
and because of the possibilities of the interface pointer in 
the second News menues was scattered throughout the

screen. More of this idea, I have never seen. And even all 
sorts ideek was ... 


    At that time, incidentally, no one thought
even distribution of newspapers outside
Krasnodar ...

Maxx> certainly brazen, "vorvemsya" here, but
this is just imho VTSa ...


    A goal of the newspaper were: help
KrZXNet and try to merge the Krasnodar Spectrum People.


    Now, where the shell came Vadim aka Viper (incidentally, 
exactly the same on the sly from everyone. I was surprised that 
appeared KrNews'3, because there was not my articles) ... 

Viper> Maxx, for example, all beautifully
knew


    Yes, and so by that time arrived, and modems, and in 
general gathering at the apartment Flint'a it was decided to 
distribute them, and Coy whom and for free (and to this day).


    Well, the story went on KrZXNet ...
