In it we will talk about the works of
future programmers of our Samara (naturally

are discussed in more detail.
Because immodesty will kill us

ZX-WINWORD.
(gr. "STARS OF KELADAN". E. Milun)
══════════════ ════════════════════════════
As I hoped, the name is quite
discouraging: "ZX" - understandable, but "WIN-
WORD" - ? Although experienced in working with
IBM the reader has already found painfully familiar sounds
ki - "WINWORD" ("WORD FOR WINDOWS"). Here
I'll tell you about this now.
Surely many people know what "WORD FOR
WINDOWS" (on IBM) very advantageously distinguished
comes from "LEXICON" (also on IBM) -possibly
ability to include drawn to text
objects (pictures, circles, ellipses,...).
On our SPECTRUM there is no such thing (at least
least in the system TR-DOS), and here's what's offensive -
There is a similar editor on BK'shka! Here we are
and decided to make something like a small
publishing system on SPECTRUM.
If you are reading these lines now, then
this means the first version is already ready - it
designed for ease of design
our magazine and contains the minimum
selection of functions (for now). In a word, "ZX-WIN-
WORD" according to our plan, should become an
Log IBM'ovsky "WORD FOR WINDOWS".
User interface and menu I created
lal according to the type of edit I really liked -
who "ZX/IBM EDITOR", for which I ask no sue-
to be strict with me is, in a sense,
continuation "ZX" -he can work with it
in one package. The only bad thing about-
presence - "ZX-WINWORD"is designed to work with
memory 128K, this is due to the volume of text
ta-graphics that it can process.
Now about the name.Why"WIN-",after all
"WINDOWS" doesn't it smell there? What do I need?
do you want to do? After all, WORD to SPECTRUM already
there is, it doesn’t matter that it is rather "LEXICON",
than "WORD",but the name is already "taken".
So I had to give it that name.

I (M.M.A) present to you a new version under

this could only work from128KB.
As expected, all this should be re-

release of this version, I decided not to
wait, and now release the last one for

Here is a short list of changes in the program
- increased accuracy of value calculations
functions and derivatives for one sign
after the decimal point.
- running is introduced in the construction mode
a line that describes all the func-
functional keys.
- implemented a method for solving nonlinear
equations (NEWTON-RAPHSON method)
as a result of which it is possible, according to the known
value "Y" find the corresponding
value "X".
