Scared? : F

Two crazy ideas last issue: print everything on AlCoNews
paper and to release the disc with a full complement ACEdit - 
embodied in Life! :) Showed some effort, I finally found all 
the numbers newspapers in the full edition and also to make 
them abstract texts and print all the numbers in one instance, 
one A4 sheet per room. Some have already read:) Now I 
understand why This thought occurred to me: after all, after 
all, he passed two thirds of the way to the 1 st version of the 
editor, it's time to take stock! 

Lazy anarchists have got myself a rule to remind of its 
existence, occasionally calling me on the phone with the 
promise of Most essential to go. And, of course, do not go! I'm 
angry! Tob. Ldir announced that gathered the material as much 
as two issues of his newspaper, but not glued together so far, 
no one! End so that the floppy with these materials of the 
happiest way grohnetsya, exposing all the incompetence of the 
owner! Tob. Nikf told only that a certain ptsshnaya gang had 
heard that he wrote the music and willfully recorded it in 
their ranks. So it;) About Comrade. Event'e - no hearing, nor 
spirit; T (c) S has bought a car; Dissonator, fortunately, is 
still alive. 

In John'a burned Pentagon - sent for vykusyvaniya
CPU Tot'u. Y T (c) S'a Pentagon also burned, but was unable to 
learn more. 'll Catch on his cell, nothing more left!


Slip / Action released a new demo of The Dune: Imperia II.

And we Nik-O finalized the questionnaire items for the musical 
The Compo, what form will be published soon. Already assembled 
13 tracks, written without sound, 3 tracks with no commands, 
ornaments and volume, 3 single-channel and 3 odnokilobaytnyh 
track. So keep in mind you will compete with anyone:)

News we do not have very much. There have been a paradox. From 
Taganrog There were 15 people. I was there very broken off with 
his animations! She was alone in its category, so I did not get 
a damn. But if I put it in the "Wild Things", the first place 
would be secured. Dimon / Licos offered to put in this nove 
nomination is that I brought with me - Video Studio 0.2. On his 
Amiga, he launched the emulsion cake and scrolled roller, in 
which man throws PC out the window. She won second place! 
Incidentally He seemed to be promised to do the spread of this 
program, but so far that in the internet I have seen only the 
first version. Most contact the creators of Virtual TR-DOS, I 
could not. So I will attempt number two.


Of the current projects I have one, about which none of our
still does not know: I decided to restore its own editor, or 
rather, write from scratch. Already written to the viewer, font 
handling, but without the pictures, and hypertext. And it has 
accelerated in the 5 (!) Times (It while navigating through the 
top down and vice versa), and displayed on the screen instead 
of 16 rows and 18, but still saved almost 8k memory. Listalka 
left, slowed down twice in two:) But the width Text rose to 
2048-9 pixels. Also completely redesigned the format codes. 
Another procedure is done by editing the line: recruitment, 
relocation ... And the keyboard driver is completely mine - 
from first to last byte, so that the ROM is not used at all. 
This driver is able to recognize up to 3 simultaneous 
keystrokes (More and no need) and converts them into 2-byte 
code. Caught almost all the shortcuts, even exotic:) It remains 
the most "detail": make the support of upper memory, the shell, 
Other prichindaly. There are ideas about the pictures - you can 
store them in condensed form! I figured: win 10-60%, if the 
packer to pack the simplest sequences. 

About the Journal. For him, I did not take long. That shell, 
what I wrote before, I already do not like, and write a new one 
- broke, yes there are other things to eat. In my opinion, 
software is more important than a magazine and news you can 
redistribute it and with the software, especially if it - 
editor:) 

I've got recently was funny at the university. We have such a 
thing as the OS (operating system). And on the subject must do 
the Elbe. And since I'm a lazy, do Laba on some kind of Linux, 
which I had never seen me in a scrap. Teachers said that it is 
possible to do creative work, if they are on OS. Well, I 
approached him and said that once wrote a Universal GUI for 
creating programs (!). He says nishtyak, type show. I'm here, 
"hesitated" and quietly talking like that I did it for the 
processor Z80. There are already teaching grunted and said, 
say, then drag the Spectrum. I made big eyes and said I type is 
not crazy to his unit drag (although Steve so once did), and 
therefore bring the emulsion. On this we agree. Then came the 
next lesson. I passed the first Labu and teachers say that I've 
brought everything you need and can demonstrate. Launched the 
emulsion, Alasm, uploaded the source code, compile, and ... it 
worked! Showed a demo program of its shell (type all possible), 
there are windows of traction and so on. Teachers so 
smotrelsmotrel and asked me type in Linux not working? - I'm 
not the type worked, and did everything himself. Concept tore 
the Burian, but he wrote himself, and even many new features 
added. Then he showed video studio (there is a modified version 
of the shell). Neck feel that behind that something is 
happening. Turned around - and there almost the entire group is 
on the monitor zyrit, and one of them is my pal enlightens, 
type I - a fan of the Spectrum. Well, I think I'll show you 
WHAT IS THE SPECTRUM. And so quietly adding: "Everything is 
written on ASSEMBLER AND SCOPE Source for STUDIO OVER 6000 
lines. "Another of my pal rolls her eyes to the ceiling and 
something starts to think, but then says that asmovskoe core of 
this most of Linux so that he takes "only" 3000 lines. Teaching 
both looked at this mess, I asked around about how I 
convertible and video on any algorithm clenched, and then says: 
"Well that, write a report. At Elbe you can score. If 
everything will be cool This work will follow kursovik. "I 
quietly ohrenel, but pretended that everything is as it should 
be, and said that today and pristuplyu. The story was over. 

Moral of this story is that there are no bad platform, there 
are bad programmers!
