Размышления об идеальном коммандере.

┌┐
├┴┐
└─┘ этой своей небольшой заметочке я
предлагаю Вам поразмышлять немного о том,
каким каждый из вас видит идеальный ком-
мандер. Их в настояшее время столько, что
глаза разбегаются, вот и давайтеspeculate
we tell you what advantages they have,
which could be used in the "idea-
al" commander. I hope these lines
revered by people who are engaged in development
a bunch of new versions and variants of these same
necessary system programs. Perhaps someone
one of the readers will not agree with me, but
after all, as the ancients said, how many people
so many opinions. I'm just saying
yours, and if anyone wants to add, with
I'll be happy to listen, or rather, read :-)
So let's get started! We'll start with the interface.
I consider it a great find to use
by respected authorsQUICK COMMANDERa
2.6 coloring files with different extensions -
mi in different colors. I appreciated it so much,
that now I mainly use this co-
mandir! Everything is so clear that
such routine work as copying
programs upon request for large quantities
disks, you even get pleasure! And not
you have to strain your eyes, looking for BASIC-
files of the necessary programs, especially if it
floppy disk with systems, and there are more than a hundred of them -
neither... So, I think no one will
against if such a useful thing will be in
"ideal" commander.
By the way, once again about "quick"and its inter-
face: meI’m very impressed that right away
there are so many files visible. Still very
I'm tired of these GLOBAL, REAL, CONVER, etc.
due to its almost identical appearance
kind of him. And a list of files in one column
- this is not rulez :-) You can object to me,
that there is PERFECT COMMANDER, there is also
more files are output at a time! That's how it is
yes, but what font?! After all, if you use
use a monitor or TV type
"Shilalis" as it, then the eyes quickly
they will get tired, but their eyesight must be protected,
it is given once and for life. :-)
Therefore, a necessary accessory to
Our "ideal" should be thatoutput
the file list must be at least two
columnsdo you agree?
Now let's focus on speed and quality
ve writing and reading. It is unlikely that there will be people
who will argue with me if I
I will call the speed cordsman GLOBAL COM-
MANDER 1.31i. That's just the recording quality
on not very (to put it mildly) good dis-
ketah leaves much to be desired. :-( All-
fast is not always good. And on
I would put him in second place,
again,QUICKCOMMANDER! And the speed is good
shaya, and the quality too. Plus,
there is a disk check function, and if
the commander "stumbles upon" a poorly readable
sector, he is restoring it! Which one
Does the commander still have such a useful thing?
Rhetorical question...
Another ideal commander should, or rather,
It is desirable to have a RAM disk,like RE-
AL COMMANDERa. A very convenient thing if
who doesn't know! I'm on my Scorpio
only 256 kB, and I appreciated it, but who
moreover, people are generally delighted.
Now about disc doctor. Very necessary
my lotion, I think. Here is the leader -
CONVER COMMANDER V 4.50 and higher. The most
its main advantage is the ability not to
only view BASIC loaders, but
andbuilt-in disassembler,which is not easy
convenient, and VERY convenient!
Checking for the presence of a disk in the drive - not
the most necessary thing in a commander, but
after all, many have only one on their computer
a disk drive, they really need it!
The best procedure is inGLOBAL COMMANDERe
1.31i. True, guys I knew wrote to me,
that on KAY this commander refuses to work -
is happening. :-( In any case, such a check
should be, butwith the ability to turn it off
niya. For example, I have three disk drives, and I
I would disable this check, because damn der-
turn the flopover 50 times per second without pressure
benefits :-)
It’s very good if the commander allows it
view screenshots, read text
files and listen to music. For example,
as in QUICK COMMANDERe! After all, it allows
read text files in different encodings
wow, something that no other commander has!
Awork in commander and listen at the same time
specifically music,as in REAL,it seems to me absolutely
absolutely is not necessary. After all, when copying or
while reading, the music will still “howl”
and slow down!-(
Have you noticed that too often
flashes in the text of my story
"quick"? And indeed, the advantages of non-
there's more than enough. And if not for some
shortcomings, hewould fit the definition quite well
division of the ideal. So what's stopping you?
"quick" to become one?
One of the disadvantages of QUICK COMMANDERa I
I think that, firstly, it can form-
format the disc to only 160 tracks, and
secondly, the file size in sectors that
this program operates when copying and
marking, it CALCULATES based on
that there should be 2544 total on the disk
sectors :-( Thus, if user is in the
to save disk space you want
Even format the disk, for example, to
166 tracks and will start writing programs there
“quick”, he will not get the desired result -
ta. :-( The program still calculates
that there are 160 tracks on the disc... So, ideally
there should be a choice through
set-up,for example, calculate file length
or take it from the catalog.
Now about the possibility of saving the catalog
ha disk and its recovery. The thing is perfect
absolutely necessary, but still desirable,
so that the user can choose which one
track save the directory. Best
do this via set-up and save the settings
swarm in the body of the program. And it is very important
so that before writing the directory,
the program first formatted this do-
horn! (Try, for example, REALomsokh-
hurt track zero on track 161 if
Your disk is formatted with 160 tracks).
What I also forgot to say is thatpossibility
Possibility of gluing and cutting the file. Good
a nice and necessary thing, but not obligatory. EU-
do I sometimes need to do this, I
I'll use GLOBAL COMMANDERom.
Well, that's all for now! If there is more
thoughts on this topic, write! If only they read it
these are all system software developers ;-)
