 1. FEATURES OF PERFECT COMMANDER v1.7  
                                         
    "Briefly" about what Commander can do
 and what, taken together, is its advantage
 assets, unlike those already existing
 schi.                                    
    Perfect Commander v1.7               
    - supports additional memory
 the most common SPECCY-compatible
 washing computers - ATM-TURBO, SCORPION,
 PROFI,PENTAGON;                         
    - detects disk change;            
 - when copying also determines 
 changing disks (which, by the way, is implemented
 for the first time);                               
    - eliminates the possibility of confusion
 disks when copying (by checking
 checksum of all nine sectors
 disk directory);                        
    - does not spoil the position with any function
 cursor (except, of course, its keys
 move and CHange disk);             
    - has a print driver - 64 characters per
 line, which allows you to display 60 files
 with complete information about the current file or
 14 files with information about each, and when
 have all this as complete information aboutsystem disk area and se-
 lecturers, and 5 lines for ranting
 Commander's interactions both with you and
 with yourself;                          
    - displays all digital values or in
 decimal, or hexadecimal system
 topics of number;                        
 - before executing each function
 checks whether what we see matches
 directory to the disk directory located in
 disk drive, which excludes a very pleasant
 possibility of inheriting him
 the catalog of its predecessor;           
    - every time after writing a buffer to 
 disk (when copying files) changes 
 the DESTINATION directory of the disk, which allows
 when ABORT files already recorded physically
 technically, have their logical mapping in
 catalog (in a clever way, even to
 liked it);                           
    - allows you to copy files as in
 the order in which they are located in the catalogue, and
 in the chosen order. One caveat: if
 Do you want to change the order
 files on the disk without any help
 auxiliary (i.e. copy
 files on the working disk in a different order -
 ke), then take into account one vile erroneous si-
 situation beyond my control. The point is
 what if you have all the marked files for
 once did not fit into the buffer, then su-
 there is a possibility of mashing not yetread file.                     
    - allows you to merge a group of files.
 Moreover, if the total length of the files is < 256 
 sectors, then one file is formed if
 more, then so many files are generated,
 as much as necessary according to the principle: everything, all
 me last - 255 sectors long, and  
 the latter is of length equal to the remainder.     
    - has a calculator that allows you-
 complete addition, subtraction, mental operations
 cutting and dividing with numbers as in tens
 tic and hexadecimal systems
 calculations, as well as the operation of transferring to 
 "opposite" number system;    
    - works using hot keys;      
    - does not litter the catalog with your business card
 card (Jemmini Commander, etc.);    
    - does not put you in an awkward position
 user, exposing his mind to som-
 questions like: "Run the file?"
 By the way, in RS, if you change your mind, launch
 download the file after communicating with , then
 you just need to press BREAK and everything will be fine
 okay, because  before any function, in
 fundamentally changing the work of Commander is
 re-reading the directory for identification
 correspondence between DISK_CATALOG and PC_CATALOG;

   or don't want to check DESTI-      
   NATION disk. If all selected       
   files do not fit on disk, then

   those names will also be copied      
   which are already on the disk; Voz-      
   you can copy files remotely

       marked the files, they will be compressed      
       listed in the order they are located      
       catalog entries;               
 E - files will be copied to      
       in the order in which you      
       noted.

   In this case, a consent will be issued      
   error communication.  If the total

   as much as necessary

 6. WHAT TO EXPECT IN NEXT VERSIONS   
                                         
    - of course, the most sacred thing is correction -
 detection of glitches found (the presence of which is
 if you are interested in correcting them, please
 ba report at the coordinates given in
 P.S.);                                  
    - implementation of your recommendations, if
 such will and will not be regarded as
 massively useless;                    
    - more complete hard drive support 
 Scorpion, i.e. reassignment to disk from
 A to B of the disk on the hard drive not according to it
 identifier (DISK1,DISK2,...), and by 
 his name contained in the directory of each
 one hard drive.                  
    - search for files by mask in all dis-
 Winchester kah;                         
    - complete change in the appearance of the PC,
 consisting in the fact that he will have three
 panel modes:                         
    - twopanels for two disk drives      
 dov, each of which will have       
 38 files with the number of occupied      
 each of them sectors without information      
 mations about the disk;                          
    - one panel for output 76        
 files with their sizes in sectors and      
 no disk information;                 
    - one panel for output 19        
 files with complete information about them,      
 as well as with inside information and      
 disk information;                    
    - windowed interface with support 
 KEMPSTON-MOUSE (access to basic functions
 tions menu will naturally be duplicated
 van hotkeys);                
    - work with RAM disk;               
    - in addition to the questions Retry, Abort, Ignore 
 for disk errors, adding a question:
 Skip file?, vital for
 complete failure of the drive will make you happy
 readability of the file when copying;      
    - perhaps viewing .ZIP archives, es-
 whether anyone wants it;               
    - all kinds of viewers;         
    - text editor;                
    - a normal calculator that works with
 any number of operands, with parentheses and, pa-
 of course, in compliance with priorities (in
 unlike the pitiful semblance of which one can
 admire the trampling );          
    - and, of course, the most important thing is that
 Commander needs Disk Doktor.Briefly
 about his ideas:                         
    - will be located on the screen       
 the whole sector, not half of it;        
    - 3 different operating modes      
 according to the content of information in one      
 line:                                 
   - 16 bytes of codes, 16 corresponding             
       symbols corresponding to them;          
   - dump of 64 characters;                
   - disassembler with possible             
 capacity for entering mnemonics;            
   - and to tell the truth it is             
       there will be something like STS but not      
       for working with memory, and for      
       working with disk space.       
    - rarely used, and also strictly
 individual functions (necessary not
 on all computers will connect
 overlay and stored in the copy buffer
 until they are mashed;            
    - presence of SetUp;                   
    - HELP is not a text file, but a program
 mine with links;            
    - NATURALLY ALL OF THE ABOVE
 YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT IT IMMEDIATELY, but gradually - by
 as perestroika is introduced on a massive scale
 all sectors of industrial and agricultural
 farms.  Comrades on the ground helped us

 7. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DIFFERENTVERSIONS  
                                         
 7.1. Differences between RS1.52 and RS1.5.           
                                         
    - fixed bug when MOVE (in mode
 "128 files" in addition to the required files
 files deleted at the end were also marked;    
    - fixed CONCAT (corrupted the end of the ca-
 taloga);                                
    - 128th @-ki are launched as 128th, and
 not like the 48th;                            
    - not taken into account when Looking screen
 possibility of disk errors;            
    - tries to work on Scorpion (not
 spoils the 8th page required for work
 service monitor bots, but buggy in many
 other relationships);                     
    - incorrectly defined extended over
 128Kb memory;                           
                                         
 7.2. Differences between RS1.7 and RS1.52.           
                                         
    - fixed Quit then TR-DOS (due to
 to her sloppiness (forgot to remove the debugging
 internal output) fell out in BASIC);
