Good afternoon, morning, evening!
Today I ( ex-SHAITAN/OHG/MAFIA rs) want
tell you about my two new products
tach. First of them (in order of appearance
them into the light) this SCREEN TRANSLATE 32 v1.1.
A second with a very tricky and long name -
nim ZX-WINWORD v2.1 PRINTER v2.0. These
programs are distributed on rights
SHAREWARE, that is, if you like them-
Yes, you can send money in the amount of not
less 2$. And then you will get another
my program one of the first.
You probably ask me: “Why
Does your nickname have the prefix ex?" And I
I will answer so. Until recently I lived,
worked and studied in the glorious city of Rosto-
ve-on-Don. In connection with family
circumstances I had to move
live in the no less glorious city of Samara. But,
since it is impossible to write programs
locally with other membersOHG on this
great distance, I decided to get out of this
groups. Now I am called by nothing other than
FREE CODER SHAITAN.
Well, now let's move directly to
description programs.
Both programs were written with this in mind,
so that they work not only on Spectrum
128, but also on such monsters as Scorpion,
Profi, ATM. Testing was carried out on
the following computers: Spectrum 128 (model
whether SPARK 128, Taganrog 128/512, Pentagon
128/512), Scorpion 256. I would like to note
whatSCREEN TRANSLATE works without problems
under the emulators of Shalaev and Yudin (Lion 17).
Well, now in more detail.
This program is intended for con-
version screen files from electronic
magazines Specrofon, ZX-Format, ZX-Power N2
with articles in 32 characters per line format.

characters on the screen are highlighted in red
volume, and in the text are replaced by spaces. All
recognized characters are highlighted on the screen

Well, now let's move on to the description of the other
prog.
This program was written specifically
for printing on text printer
documents created in editor
ZX-WINWORD versions not higher than version 2.1.
For this program to work, you need to
number 128 Kilobyte of memory or more. For
expanding its capabilities, in the process
development, it was decided to support
files created by in ZX-WORD editors,
Micro Editor 3.30. Smooth dignity (and
maybe disadvantage) of this printer is
in that it supports the interface
ZX-LPrint III in parallel port mode
CENTRONICS. I want to immediately warn you about
that when printing a WINWORD document
your printer will jerk frantically forward
red-back. This is due to the fact that for shame
forging text and sprites must be returned
paper on beginning pages. After printing
first page you will definitely ask me
site: "It is impossible to return to
beginning pages, not line by line (as
implemented), and immediately give a command to re-
placement on several lines? Immediately to you and
I will answer. NO, YOU CAN'T!!!! Here's why. Yes
as when moving paper on 8 points
there is a loss in movement at n/216,
which is almost unnoticeable. Well, what ifpe-
move paper to 21 lines, then loss
will be about 10 points. This moment was
installed during testing of this
programs on printers domestic
production CM6337 and CM6313, as well as
tailors Epson LX-800 and Epson FX-800.
Well, now about the main menu.
