                             v0.2

 (SYSS9.TRD vBv)
Few people had information about coding. BASIC programming was
 used by people who needed programming at their job (electric
 circuits modelling, some astronomy, usually to orient a beam
 antenna for satellite TV, biorithms /SYSбO.TRD vBv/, solving
 systems of linear equations, solving 2nd grade differential
 equations, simplest programs for their children).
 One of the most important releases of this era was the first
 Russian version of TASWORD text editor (Tasword-RL). This was
 done in Moscow by a МИФИ assistand professor. (Simonovich -
 ZX-Forum #1)

In July '87, "The Last Word 2" text editor appeared in Russia.
 It was brought to an electrotechnical show by "Saga" firm, who
 produced extended keyboards for Spectrum. Interesting chat at a
 firm stand resulted in a present from Western colleagues - they
 presented us a pen. We gave them a matreshka in return. Then
 the West dug out from somewhere under the counter a TLW-2 tape
 with the full manual. This matreshka had big contribution in
 our work. One month later, the manual circulated around the
 country (roughly the same as today), and a half year later
 (1988) we made the first (not complere but working) Russian
 version of TLW-2. (Simonovich - ZX-Forum #1)

TR-DOS 5.04T (Sergey Skorobogatov 1991), Moscow:
 "In 1989 I got my first computer - a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K.
 A year later I started building computer external hardware
 modules like EPROM programmers and ROM emulators, and writing
 different programs in assembler for the Zilog Z80 processor
 used in it. All those projects were a hobby, but that was
 probably the first time I started reverse engineering code.
 There were two reasons for that. One was to learn the assembler
 language better through understanding disassembled code;
 another was to modify the programs, for example, to add extra
 features."
