   To begin with, that this version of AC Edit released on 2 
November (date within specified for the beta). Version intended 
for applications to our magazine ZX-Guide # 4, but could not 
fit in drive due to bloated. About this below.


   While newer versions do not exist: I've been collecting 
magazine wrote term papers and take tests. The next version of 
see beta testers, then version will be disseminated through

ehokonferentsii ZX.SPECTRUM in FidoNet. We have to admit
that access to the Internet, I have no idea why I can not timely
deploy new versions of the website dedicated to ZX. My request 
to the holders of these sites - to distribute the program to 
measure the forces. 

   There is a special category of user - the beta testers. This
those who liked (or disliked) my editor, who
try to inform about the shortcomings of the program and express 
thoughts its subject. I try to distribute new versions of ACE 
among beta testers, sending them after the release of an e-mail

with UUE-file. Because nothing complicated about sending 
letters for limits FIDO not, beta testers can be among 
inetchikov. 


   The major difference in this version are from the previous 
modules, or "plugins".


   I did not aim to create an open architecture editor
(It would increase its size and only), but because
with 0.56 the opportunity to download the executable and 
resident music files, it was easy after making some changes in

code editor to use this opportunity as a testing ground for
development of new features. In the future the most useful 
features will be placed in the editor. This will happen because 
I projecting a compact program, and plug-ins on the disk is 
occupied more space than in the shell, because the loadable 
modules inconvenient to use, because in the end, that mishmash

files on the disc prevents live peacefully.


   Editor since the first version works well on computers with 
48k RAM. The volume of both the edited

Text goes down to 16383 bytes. Therefore, approximately the same
length is HELP.

   In the 48k memory there are about 150 bytes on the 
development of the editor. Of course, this is very small. Many 
useful features are not implemented for this reason. Now I'm 
releasing another KBytes due to some deceleration mode 512x192. 
Therefore, this is not the last version that supports 48k. 
Developing, Editor fills the lower memory, and take a free page,

used for access to the Real Commander 1.9x. More precisely, it 
is this page will load music. In the first place

48k users will lose their built-in help, then these
computers will be ignored.

   Appears impossible now (due to lack of memory for
font) status bar, Auto text and character by character
selection. Font 4x8 will be available for download. Support
printer will be fully delivered to the plugin, because I
I still can not write good support, with no printer. For
simultaneous editing of texts will be used 03.02 driver
upper memory.


   To the program included its full source code. His presence 
is not means that I bring to the project in someone's hands. I 
just am not afraid distribute their source code. You can see 
how it works editor, and copy the successful ones, in your 
opinion, the procedures in their program. Good plugin is hard 
to write without source. Of course, the plugin should not call 
the procedure for absolute address. But the editor has already 
implemented some desired method of data processing, and easy 
with minor changes in the copy module. The authors of many 
programs use kernal calls standard procedures and distribute

Only kernal. But the kernal takes up too much space in RAM and
your hard drive. The problem is compounded by the fact that 
there is no AC Edit standard procedures;)


   Compile the source code in assembler ALASM 4.x with the 
following settings: System page = # 41, Symbols page = # 43, 
Disk buffer = # d200. 

   For a more complete acquaintance with the ideology of the 
editor you have to read all the numbers Came to him publishing 
AlCo News. The first 5 numbers collected in the annex to the 
ZX-Guide # 4 for they gained eternity;)
