already been issued or to be issued shortly. Unfortunately we 
can not hang on the newspaper applications, otherwise it is is 
not a newspaper. In addition, commercial program will not be 
published. But if You want to get some prog or described, then 
please contact the author. Please send us a description of your 
development. This will be a good advertisement for them.



   Can also take your program to
commercial distribution - is to VfNG.


   In this issue, read the description of the latest version of 
the program "SPRITES GENERATOR ". It is written by me (Paul from

REAL SOFT).


         Sprite Generator v4.5


  The program generator is intended Chen sprites to create 
blocks of sprites by  their clippings files, preparation lennyh 
screen in a graphical redaktore.Takzhe this  program is useful 
for printing on  printer every piece of the screen.



  The program features full-on processing unit sprites: you can 
succeeded lyat any sprites created from blocks of spacecraft, 
view the sprites and their parameters,  save to disk any group 
of sprites  from the block or archive (sprites with 
parameters), to connect with the existing archive  sprites in 
memory, to put sprites  anywhere on the screen and save the 
induced modification of the screen on the disc, as well as 
races pechatyvat the printer created the sprites  or their 
parameters. The program uses  native driver for the 
EPSON-compatible printers Mykh. Printer ports used are taken on 
a PC Byte 01: 

 Checking Employment # 10 (16)
 Data Output # 30 (48)
 Strobe # 70 (112)

 If you have other ports, you can not group tatsya anything 
raspechatat.Sprayty we can cut both with and without 
attributes,  In addition, you can create a mask

 to cut a sprite. In this version
 program implements two types of created my mask. Ways sketch 
of the object  See below:



    1) * 2) *

       * * * * * *

       *

 When you create a sprite with the mask, the mask byte
 will alternate with byte sprite, blah Thanks to this you can 
significantly mustache reproach output sprite with a mask on 
the screen.  The block data generator can

 be any format sprites (with or without the attribute mi, mask 
or no mask).  Program version 4.5 creates sprites

 progressive format, but if you need the beat to create a 
character by character sprites  format, then use version 2.1.

 I advise you not to use posimvol LIMITED format because you 
can not write NADI-speed inference procedures valid elements 
with the help of mnemonics POP and PUSH. 


  When cutting out sprites attributes settlement glaciers 
appear before the validity is always better to take first Atri 
butts, and then the sprite. After loading  programs and short 
decompression by eq wound main menu appears on the Russian  
language in the lower box contains infor mation about the 
number of sprites and created  the amount of free area. Working 
with  program is extremely simple, so you

 able to deal with it, and without detailed descriptions of 
Nogo. If you activate  arrow out of the main menu, you can

 watch the downloaded screen
 file. Information about the format created by
 Programme archive of sprites: the last,
 unloaded on the drive with the extension "s", in
 the first byte of the file number of sprites,
 followed by the parameters of sprites, and after
 their own sprites. Format options
 Sprites: 1 and 2 bytes are the width and height,
 respectively, 3 bytes - the defining factor is the type of 
sprite: 8 without attributes,  9 - with the attributes, 16 - 
with a mask without Atri casks, 17 - with a mask and 
atributami.I yet  before running the program checks to himself

 for integrity, and in case of damage
 it will restart the TR-DOS. New releases
 programs do not expect so as I have binge rolsya assembly code 
of the program (in  the fifth version of a built-in graphics

 editor), this version is the law of bounded totally 
professional program I tested many programmers coefficients, so 
that the use of health!  Management: Kempston, Keyboard, 
Sinclair.
