Hello, Macros.

 MS: In general, let me tell you where
you need to put halts, but not where.
First of all, if you have a scroller
written without halt, then it can be omitted
put - there are a lot of keys between polls
time, about the frame, so there halt
You don’t have to install it, and the viewer doesn’t slow down
during operation (i.e. when it is up and down
you scroll).  If the user does not press any
buttons - you can loop with halt, this
won't hurt.  Right where it happens
looping until the key is released -
Be sure to put in a halt, and everything will be ok.  

Exactly what I thought. In general, as I sat down
viewer, here's what I changed:                
 from 06/11/2001                          
  + LD C,0 before calling procedure #0333
(for Quorum, so as not to buggy)           
  + HALT atlooping the procedure
button release poll              
  (for PC keyboards)                     
  + HALT when waiting for user click
buttons                                   
  - fixed printing of the inscription in which
file encoding with offset             
  screen right                          
  - now the screen does not move left and right from
 keyboard chatter (appeared only       
  when there is no mouse, when
scrolling with cursors)                 
  * viewer now works when enabled
interruptions (stack not                    
  usable): in theory, now you can do it
playing music on                   
  interruptions                            

  M5> at what stage is it now?
working on a new version?                

 Already done:                           

  [-] When displaying 'color' is disabled
files, rename is buggy                    
  [-] A buggy version has appeared in QC2.brom
TR-DOS system variables,             
  which is why sometimes they didn’t start
programs                                
  [-] If in the main mode you place
cursor to last file, after          
  go into marking mode, find this
basic file and delete it,                
  then when returning to main mode,the cursor will be in empty space and       
  it will be easy to move around the entire screen     
  [-] Doesn't work with 0 files on disk
toggle 'Speed' ('S' button)        
  [+] Print three-character extension
and files                                  
  [+] New player Pro Tracker version
3.51f!x, with fixed glitch from        
  Ivana Roshchina                           
  [+] Automatic detection
encoding of the file being viewed         
 [+] In the setup you can set it yourself
colors of different groups of files,            
  a new group of files has also been added -
Alasmov source codes ('H')              
  [+] In the viewer it is printed as a percentage
volume of text viewed              
  [+] Viewer design has been updated.  Now
printed: whether the mode is on or not        
  Wrap, file name + 3 characters
extension, in what encoding            
  file being viewed (DOS/WIN/KOI),
file size in bytes                    
  [*] Other improvements to the viewer (removed
keyboard chatter, freezes            
  on PC keyboards, incorrect polling on
Quorum ROMs, etc.)              

 Now I'm considering whether to change the driver
memory to another, and if you still don’t change
you have to, then all that remains is to do:           

  - the memory test does not spoil anything
(remakedetect);                     
  - the QC copy in the 7th bank is not killed
(setting in setup)                     
  - Ram Disk Real is not killed
Commander                              
  - fix the 'W' button: so that when
loading in 48th mode, not              
  included 128th                        
  - volume is displayed on the main panel
memory, when switching to mode         
  marking displays the buffer volume
copying in sectors                   
  - when running on Run_48 instead
When the memory is turned off, it turns on   
  page #30 and launching the program
(observed on Pentagon 1024K)          
  - Quickly change the receiver drive by
keys ss+1..4                         
  - Skip pages occupied by files
alasm'a (setting in setup)             

 Plus I want to do it, but not in this
versions:                                  

  - Saving Quick by boot to disk
when pressing 'S' in the main menu           
 (existed only in Beta Commander)       
  - Support for #3d13 and RC ramdisk       
  - Another disk formatter (for example,
rip from RDS)                          
  - Some kind of built-in setup        
  - Normal marking of files with the mouse
(same as on PC)                              
  -Moving files                   
  - Request when copying already
existing files                      
  (as in Global Commander -
add/skip/over/all)                       
  - Possibility of background playback
music (especially during                
  viewing the text).                     
  - Selecting files by a given mask   
  - Running code files.               

 As you can see, the wishes are through the roof.      

MS:  Imho, the pt music player did not interfere
I would like to change it to muted so that
effects #9, #A on channel C played
ok.  As far as I know, in
PTZ.5 player is disabled (well, in the latest
versions, I don’t remember the exact numbers).       

We have them                            

MS: Next, the playback process did not interfere
would accompany some movement
stripes, like in ZX-Amp by Studio Stall. 

Can be done, just a stripe
stick it so that it is the same color as
were there indicators?                       

MS: After all, the copying process can be
observevisually, it’s made of squares
such a stripe is being built, :) so here it is
approximately the same can be deduced as
playing Mouzon under the indicator
amplitudes.                               

And there the indicators occupy the entire window, and
the yellow stripe will blend in color
with frame                                 

MS:  Well, I would use the 'E' key to delete
left.                                 

Late - after several years of existence
Many people are used to QC                       


MS:  And most importantly.  I did it for myself
boot - one to one like yours, only there
The font is four pixel.                  

I'm thinking about making QC for 64
character (such as Perfect Commander), because
then can we make two panels?          

MS: Different files also have different colors
were displayed, there was a set of filters, you can
was to load storm's sources directly into
memory,                                  

By the way, I can also make a pass
Storm's files, if you look at how
Storm defines them MS:  Well, this boot had one
useful feature - every time you start it
saved the directory behind the 160th track. A
I copied my boot to all the locals
Sinclairists - it helped each of them
at least once, i.e. the person slammed zero
track, slipped behind track 160 and that’s it
restored.  If at startup the disk was
write-protected, a message was displayed,
but work did not stop. Then I
I made this feature every time I change the disk,
i.e.  every time you read the catalog
the latter was kept behind track 160.
Imho, the thing is very useful and if you
if you implement it, I’ll tell you something great
thank you, and not just me, but all the people who
with the help of your commander they will get a chance
restore a dead system disk! (A
you can do setup, where you can set
Backup track number
catalogue.                                

No, that won't happen. But not because
saving is not necessary, but because in
quick before dangerous operations
checking whether the disk directory matches
memory, with the directory of the inserted disk
(more details in help)                      

MS: By the way, in the newspaper 'Paragraph', in the last
room, there was sucharticle about
commanders, Kvik was there too, and in it
We found a lot of positive aspects.

Oh! But I didn’t read it. I'll tell you a secret if
if they stop praising Kvik, then I will either
I’ll stop making them altogether, or new ones
I will not distribute the versions (after all
It turns out that no one needs it?)           

MS: And about the 'crowd of real fans'
comander' - so these are just lamers,
are sick of lameness. IMHO, RC is Mazda
;) (don't take it seriously though
:)                                       

The release of Real Commander is just planned
2.0 with module support. Here is a clipping from
my correspondence with Realsoft (this is his response
to my message about modules):               

-------------------------------------------------------
PK: True to catch up with the capabilities of RC 2.0
it will be difficult...                        

s> If everyone rushes to write modules, no
I'll catch up                                  

Now I’m already corresponding with somewhere around 8
coders who didn't bother to write
modules.  In addition to those modules that I told you
I also sent a driver for 800k disks.    

s> or if you writes> some thread that people really need
module, then yes.                           

I don't think so.                               

s> And so, maybe the fate of EWS or Zasm
s> 3.10, when modules are only author and
s> wrote.                                
You just need to promote your products,
I have had many publications on the topic of RC 2
press.                                  

PK>> Maybe you can support the RC 2.0 project?
I would write                               
PK>> viewer modules, mouse support, and
maybe Clickmania ;)                    

s> About the viewer, you can. Maybe I'm better
s> I’ll send the source with a pair              
s> comments, and you will remake it under
RC requests.                              

Send it out.                                 
-------------------------------------------------------

M5>  I don’t know, maybe your program already has this
does - descriptions of something with her               
M5> no.                                 

Yeah... The usual story - the quick came, but
no help.  Then catch the sheltered help
(I don’t pack because I don’t know what you’ll be on
read)                                  

First read the 'history.txt' file and
then the help itself from QC2.6              

M5>  And previous versions are not before us
M5> reached because access          
M5> to the internet we only got this 
M5> year. By the way, give people              
M5> your postal address is not             
M5> still have access to the Internet.         

Read in help                            

M5>  Well, and finally, I would like
M5> find out what you do in general        
M5> toil                              
M5>  on Spec, what I have already done, what
M5> you do,                             
M5> what plans                          
M5> for the future?                          

So, I already answered someone... Yeah, here it is:   

Optical Brothers as of
05/23/2001:                              

  One Man (artist, musician, one of
authors Allways) - works on one
market, where it collects stalls.  Salary
250..300$, in connection with which offers
like: let’s draw on the pussy for
fifty dollars for a month, does not accept.
Also listed as the group's sound engineer
Armageddon and threatens to leave with them soon
on tour to America. Spectrum, as you can see,
there's no room here.  Although if I agree
make his childhood dream - Digger, he
will return.                                

  Mentat (second artist, one of
authors Allways, producer) - works for
book market (for several years now), at home
costs Pentagon (no money for a pussy)
enough) - if me and One Man start something
do, then he will not remain on the sidelines.    

  Specter (coder, last resort
ratings of graphics, music and everything
the rest, one of the authors of Allways) -
I am writing this message over the past six months
worked in the book market, then
SysAdmin in one pussy club (fortunately
I've had a pc for 2.5 years now), I'm currently working with
satellite antennas and teachDelphi to
work to order. All works bring
money, which cannot be said about the Spectrum (and
I don’t have it now), so large
I won’t start work on the Spectrum, but
here's how to make Quick 2.7, Allways 4 or website
Optical Brothers - it's possible.            

  That is, I am one hundred percent pisishnik,
his own scorpio gave to be used
one good coder, and I myself am writing in
emulator.                               

What have I already done?  Quite a lot. From
most significant: games - AnyTank,
C.H.I.F., Clickmania;  utilities - a lot
versions of viewers for different newspapers (until now
since used), Quick Commander, and
other;   newspapers - chief editor  LPRINT,
had a hand in Energy, one of
the main authors of the awesome newspaper Allways. 

Of course there is a lot more, but for now
I don't remember.  But I’m especially proud of two
things: Quick Commander and the game
Clickmania.                              

M5>  By the way, haven't you looked at my magazine? He
M5> available, as far as I know             
M5> known, on                         
M5> website www.scenergy.natm.ru -   
M5>it is called MSF_21.                 

I looked. If you have free time,
I’ll read the whole thing and write a critique.            

By the way, can you do something from this letter
and publish it, I shouldn’t be here so much
crucified? ;)                           

MS: So, what are the problems? With pleasure!

M5>  And when the new version is ready
M5> quick (when, by the way, at least 
M5> approximately? :)                         

After passing the exams. The last one will be 26
numbers                                    

M5>  throw it on this site, i.e. let's go to
M5> scenergy@nm(natm?).ru (well, I’m definitely not
I remember, and you probably do everything yourself
you know).                                 

To everyone who wrote about this soap, a new version
will be sent immediately after release.     

M5> PS: Howsuccess with exams?         

Alternately :)
