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;

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

as perestroika is introduced on a massive scale

taloga);

not like the 48th;
- not taken into account when Looking screen

- tries to work on Scorpion (not

other relationships);
- incorrectly defined extended over

7.3. Differences between PC1.7s and PC1.7.
In this version, in addition to those listed
above commands, work with wine is provided
Chester from SCORPION.
The following functions have been implemented:
SS+H - mounting a TR-DOS pseudodisk
tological drive.
SS+D - dismounting the TR-DOS pseudodisk
from the logical drive.
SS+F - search for a file on the HDD by mask.
SS+G - continuing the search for a file with
cursor positions.
But so far this only works on
SCORPION, but not on cars with it at all
vengeable.
Naturally, the numbers
