Analyzer errors have been fixed.
4.01 (97 from 07/09/97) Fixed a bug when tracing
RET cc commands.
What's next?
In the near future there are plans to expand the functions of the Shadow Service Moni-
torus related tosupport for devices installed on
SMUC controller, as well as support for hardware capabilities,
provided by the GMX board. First of all, this concerns the regime
advanced graphics, increased RAM and capabilities
the user can change the contents of the ROM disk himself. Except
Therefore, work is underway to Russify TM. Appearance quickly
valid external memory (hard drive) allowed us to start
work on creating a hypertext reference system for
Shadow Monitor functions and Sinclair-compatible computers
in general.
In addition, an operationally independent system will be created
