In issue zero of the magazine
we publish an interview with
kupobckum coder, hiding-
under the mysterious
pseudonym CAT. Interview
took RED ALEX by phone,
and we were quite puzzled
us, when from the very first
got through to KOT (and
what's most amazing is
The CAT was at home!)...
Since the interview was recorded
was sent from the phone to
cassette, conversational style
saved. And since all
the market lasted a whole hour, then
Below are the main points.
Our com-
mentaries (or explanations).
Red Alex: Hello, CAT.
CAT LTD.: Hello.
R: Listen, it’s planned here
interesting topic - OUTSI-
DER gathered magazine de-
bark. And then came to us
head wild thought -
borrow from someone
view.
K: Yes, and from whom? (innocent-
in a loud tone)
R: For example, you...
K: (surprised) Yes? Hehe,
I don't know what to say!
(wild laughter) Well this...
I can actually do something
say.
R: CAT, when did the va-
our passion for SPECCY and
program activities
hundred?
K: In winter, in December 1991,
I bought a computer for a friend.
The following year, in January
Var, he tells me,
please come, I have
there is something. I'm coming.
We played COMMANDO,
three hours (!). Then I
promoted whoever needed,
and I got it too
computer, 48th.By the way,
he is still working.
Then I saw SCORPION
already. It was in 95
year. I saw the disk drive,
all that bullshit. Here. I think
no shit, cool... There
all programs in the catalog
hey...
R: Well, I guess you took it?
K: Well, yes, right away
ran - let's go, yeah -
wait... Well, we bought it,
in short.
R: Well, where did I start?
from BASIC, perhaps?
K: BASIC? Who the hell knows
I didn't do anything on it
never. Well, I did
there's something there...
R: And then, probably, for
did you get the assembler?
K: Well, yes. But not right away. On-
chal loaders all sorts of forges
yay, Jill Bilbert (?),
I was so interested
what's inside, all sorts of things
these counters... Then
I got a book
Podionovskaya "How to break-
wash the protection", then in
the codes started a little
take...
R: My first program
remember in assembler?
K: Oh, who the hell knows... Ah,
this one that thickens
double screen...
Then from the bootloaders
all these lines are there
I started watching.
R: When was yours formed?
group? (NORTH STAR)
K: Yes, I found CRAV’s address in
ZX-REVIEW. I think in Olen-
ropcke dude lives, give-
I'll write him a letter.
R: Then your group
and was formed?
K: No, we’ve been censusing for a year-
get lost, I need megadems
they sent me all sorts of things, I’m there
almost fellin general -
SATISFACTION, ASSORTY...
And the group was formed
in the fall of '96. First in
group were with Olenegors-
ka all (CRAV, ANARCHY,
KID), with Apatite DIAMOND and
I. Then join-
ACID, NIKE and after-
days SOUNDLINER.
R: What have you already done together?
lali?
K: And this one, 1997 (mega-
dema for the New Year), and
so basically more
no particular success.
R: The audience, probably
small in local re-
ruohe?
K: Who the hell knows, in
Olenegorsk is there,
but they are all something
dead...
R: And now your group
what is he working on?
K: Together - for now
nothing at all. I'm here
I personally break DEJA VU #3,
already steamed - hack it
yes hack...
R: Are there any plans for future-
what?
K: Yes, that’s what I wanted to do
this thing is a library
samples, modules, packages
bahoe everything, of course.
R: And some kind of toy
aren't you going to do it?
K: Toy? About this
I don't know the toys. It is necessary
draw for someone, write
script, but I don't want to
I can’t and so on. I
I can make codes, music
write, but otherwise I
not a master.
R: What is your attitude towards the group?
`Northern Lights`?
K: Yes, normal, in general.
R: Why then in
ZX-POWER, in the shadow mo-
hutope such a line in-
interestingrunning?
K: Oh, well it was, yes. He
(SAV) used to love here
quack, “Yes I am, yes I am.”
But everything is fine now.
I'm good at it, right?
Fine ?
R: More than okay...
K: He just blew everyone away
okay, I say, please...
please. Because of ZX-POWER
he jumped there for a long time,
galloped. It's so offensive to him
it was.
R: CAT, say a few words
all users
SPECCY.
K: Tell me? Well, everything's cool
then I'll be like ANARCHY
talk, he always
says so. Everything's cool.
And an exclamation point
put it. (perform
request ->) Everything is cool!
R: Any wishes,
don't spoil yourself IBM...
K: Oh, IBM is generally g...
some kind of
R: Your nickname is something-
be means ?
K: CAT is a nickname, with
there are still schools left...
R: How do you feel about
idea of creating a magazine?
K: Fine.
By the way, the Cat asked us
write that he smokes
I quit, I haven’t eaten for a month now
rit. Well, congratulations-
eat! It’s already too late to treat him.

P.S: In ten days
it turned out that the third
DEJA VU CAT has already been hacked.
Congratulations on another
crack.

days ? Because after
