══════════════ ════════════════════════════
 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. UNRECOGNIZED FORMATTING OBJECT v1.0. (gr. "STARS OF KELADAN". A. Korolev) ══════════════ ════════════════════════════ Another disk-to-disk copier with one Time-lapse formatting of the output disk. No, it's not just "another one." This, according to according to our estimates, one of the best and most unique Versal. Judge for yourself about the possible regimes his work: copying (from formatted tion, of course) on two disk drives, on one, “treatment” of disks (copy mode on one drive). And all this at a fairly high speed of work with one with a disk - about 4 minutes for one MS-DOS disk.(Agree, this is a very fast tro, given the fact that the markup on the disk being copied may be random, for example, as in UFO-2 or ZX-FORMAT#3). In general, “looking backwards”, this copy The box was designed to copy the game "UFO TERROR IN DEEP",but was subsequently trans- formed for "perverted" floppy disks. "UN.FOR.OBJ" there are a lot of settings, with the power of which you can control the process so copying, for example, turn off the test Reliability indicators for reading/writing floppy disks. There is even a completely unique setting - allowing you to compare the contents of the input th and output disk when copying, which allows you to increase the reliability of the copy niya. [According to our data, precisely because of the “glu- kov" when copying track-to-track with different sophisticated copiers without comparing copies and the original in Samara go screwed upUFO2 and ZX-FORMAT#4.] Using "U.F.O." you can make a I copy the disk, for example TR-DOS,MS-DOS, IS-DOS. It is worth talking about IS-DOS. Case is that this copier is not just a copyist ruinsIS-DOS disks, but makes them "MASTER DISK "ami, i.e. IS-DOS doctors "recognize" copies as MASTER disks. The only thing that is too tough for copying bling is all sorts of sophisticated disc protections that analyze the track image. But perhaps soon this defect tatok will be corrected. Considering the special sophistication of the pro- grams,U.F.Ocannot work in such aour popular "virtual" SPECTRUMax, that is, emulators. The program, being launched in it, it will display a cheerful inscription type "WORKING UNDER Z-80 EMULATOR" and ra- she will talk purely conditionally - you can "climb" through the menus, but run a copy roving will not be possible. DESIGNER ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONS (DAF) v8.4 ORIGINAL IDEA AND DESIGN : EDA SOFT CORRECTED AND REMIXED BY : M.M.A/SC ════════════════════════════════════ Since the development of the first versionDAF'a About a year has passed, and already more than 10 different Versions of the program are circulating throughout the country. Today I (M.M.A) present to you a new version under working number 8.4 . This is somewhat different what I promised, but still! So, what is - DAF ? And DAF,I’ll answer you, this is such a valuable program. frame that can suddenly relieve or make your life difficult! But seriously, then with the help of DAF'and you you can build graphs of functions and their production aquatic species of different orders, study the behavior function (concave, convex, etc.) as well as many, many other things that you are talking about - they couldn’t imagine it. Initially DAF was conceived as a program helping in the learning process at school or in the first or second year of college. But then the possibility of using this wonderful program in demo structure- nii as a calculator of complex trajectories movement ry (sprites on the screen). But for use of this potential The program needed to be supplemented with a procedure fools loading and unloading the coordinate buffer and many, many others. Naturally, everything this could only work from128KB. As expected, all this should be re- implemented in version 8.5,but due to release of this version, I decided not to wait, and now release the last one for users 48KB machine version DAF 8.4 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". - a lot of minor bugs and opera- have been fixedchat in texts. Release 128th version DAF'and most likely is postponed, but if it appears, then will definitely be included in the next number "OBERON". ╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗ ╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗╔╗ ║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║ ║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║ ║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║ ║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║║ ╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚ ╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝╚╝

The most common"Star Legacy",co- which has long been passed and forgotten by everyone. Then what's the trick, you ask? It's very simple! All this time(since August 1995 - actual date of admission games for sale) in the country's markets have not there was a normally working version. Well, how could it not be, you ask again? How is "branded" from INFORCOM?Well, naturally- but we must admit that the proprietary version you can go to the end, but for now SPECTRUM'e! But what about IBM , in the emulator? No way! None of the ones we have four emulators do not want the game to work la. Naturally, if we do not consider the ver- these are broken and initially impassable, which were freely copied and could be loaded into the emulator, but did not work reason for non-standard work withTR-DOS'om! This whole set of facts prompted creating a fundamentally unprotected version games. In the process of work, new and new ideas and today all this close to the implementation in the following form: DISK : 5.25'(preferably 3M or Verbatim) TITLE : SPEED CO.'96 FORMAT : TR-DOS (2560 SECTORS) HARDWARE: TR-DOS 5.01.5.03.5.04T ......

The game itself is packaged and loaded via the most standard of all pointsTR-DOS ROM #3D13. Finally, we want to say that we do not have no complaints about the creative team STEP and we hope thatSTEP also has no advantage contact us! We will not make any money on this version a penny, but the game will live EVER! P.S. "... AND ON THE WRECKAGE i B M - o in WILL WRITE OUR NAMES!" P.P.S "...Turn the page, this is not GAME OVER yet..." And at the end of this section, I would like highlight the issue of acquisition as pro-anon above, and all other programmed frames written in our beloved city kind of - SAMARA. So, all-all-all Samara programs you can found in at least two places: - MARKET SOFT OF SAGE GROUP (their advertisement is given in the appendix) - VASILIEV YURY Lenin Ave. 9, apt. 37 tel. 34-98-66 from 17 to 20 hours - on weekdays from 10 to 20 o'clock - on weekends. USER - remember! The author most often does not is distributing its programs. He entrusts this to special people - spreads travelers. So don't call to the author with questions like: "I really care tour I liked your game like that. BOLDER DASH 13 and I kind of wanted to ask you. What other games have you put these in? pieces . . . . . Well, how are they there? . . . . aI remembered these same - "damn MODS"? Unfortunately, to date, not a single a large organization like"STORE"is not subject to supports the idea of ​​trading Samara programs frames in SAMARA. Although, in the store "DO SAM"you can find most of the creations recent years, but in the catalogs of the Moscow company "MAGIC SOFT". Thus, the magic zine receives programs of its native cities via Moscow, which takes at least three months. And it could take even more, if I (M.M.A)had not sent periodically ski to the capital of our homeland parcels with dis- comSOFT FROM SAMARA. This disc is a collection of prog- ramms written in our city over the last it's been a month or two! As of today already The new, already tenth collection is almost ready.

In addition, attached to the disk A detailed description is provided. You can't buy this disc in Samara again, you can’t, since there is no demand both from buyers and and from P/O sellers. But outside Samara, the disc is in good demand. If you have the opportunity in your city, and the main thing is the desire to collect such a disc, then I (and not only me) will be glad to see you cooperate in terms of exchange of P/O. I also call on all those programmers Sa- Marywho want to spread their developments boots outside the city, which are stillThey haven't contacted me yet. Call me and I'll make you famous!
