     Многое происходит в нашей жизни не так, как мы планируем, иNot all of our actions are ideal. We are only what can
exist, but we can give life to others. Give new life
to those who have not seen it, and to give eternal memory to those who
lost her forever...                                      
     ASCii - a little strict, but at the same time intriguing
name. What does it portend, and what is our role in it?        

     We announce the beginning of two months of preparation for the
ASCii'02 DemoParty, which will take place on April 28, 2002 in the city
Izhevsk.                                                        
     Probably many people know about the tragedy that took place in our
circles.                                                         
     Death of Andrei Smirnov, whom you might know as Ded
Smirnoff/PoS/PCCC.                                              
     Unfortunately, all PoS members and Andrey’s relatives are unable to
even erect a monument to emy, which is very difficult for me to write about... 
That is why we decided to hold a party in tribute to
Andrey.                                                         
     No, don't think that you need to do something specific,
simply if you agree to transfer all your cash prizes to the fund
purchasing a monument to Andrei, then we ask you for your mercy.        
     Each winner will receive prizes and souvenirs...              
     All fundscollected for participation and entry fees
at the party they will go to the fund. The exception will be sponsorship for
holding a party.                                                
     Believe me, it’s not easy for us to ask you this, but please understand us
That's right, sometimes in life there are situations when there is no other choice
no.                                                            
     We have no one else to count on...                       
     If you want to dedicate your work to Andrey, we are ready
provide you with any information... Addresses below.

     One or two additional ones will be installed at the party
computer for free access outside of competitions.                
     There will also be a non-competition screening of any of your demos,
using unauthorized effects.                             
     At the party there will probably be npucytctobatb Pentagon-128 with
Genral Sound 512kb.                                             

     Those gadgets that will not be on real Spectrums will be
show on the Z8OStealth emulator, special edition for
our party.  Already connected to it is a real YM2149F and sound
just cool!

     This is a hardware blending mode for two screens.  Not at all
it is not necessary to do MultiScreen, and switch screens through
interruption  Just turn on GigaScreen and you will see
picture on the screen, with screens superimposed on each other.           

So the inclusion:                                                 

        LD BC,#EFF7                                             
        LD A,#10                                                
        OUT (C),AShutdown:                                                     

        LD BC,#EFF7                                             
        XOR A                                                   
        OUT (C),A                                               

     How to check functionality?  Use temporarily
instead of the procedures for enabling/disabling Gigascreen,
enable/disable Multiscreen.   This way you will see
approximately what will be on the party machine. When using this
mode you will get excellent results, and also get rid of
vile flickering of screens.
