 This assembler was praised in
ZX-REVIEW N1-2 for 1996. That's right
they praised him there, which is straight
maybe... But I'll tell you straight
my opposite is the most
byaka from all assemblers!  B
The program has a sea of glitches. Exit to
BASIC from the program is made using
left if you exit to StS, and from
him in BASIC, or rather try
go to BASIC, as it is
you won't succeed. When reloading
INCBINom and INCLUDom program
works every other time, and if at
to reload, press BREAK, then no
guarantees that you will be lucky too
send to MASM with a message about
error, the program contains other
These are glitches, but they do happen
less often.                         
 Well, again I quarreled with
this assembler, but at the end of the
I'm still writing everything in
German  so you can work with
glitches.   Main KNOW'EM ALL
(which means "to know them all"), and
be able to bypass them.              
 By the way, just recently
version MASM + StS 4.1 appeared,where MASM (according to some sources)
yam) slightly muted.          
 Here is the shell for this number
I rewrote it in MASM.

 YEEEEEEAAAAAA!!! So he appeared
StS 4.1! I hasten to disappoint you
- there are a lot of glitches in it! Owners
non-reed keyboards
come first! Enter
any text, and just
it becomes very difficult to introduce something
it's difficult because it works here
keyboard chatter.  But still
I managed to get used to it
from my "AGAT" keyboard -
swarm.  In general, the most powerful thing
there is - this is tracing and di-
assembler to disk.             
 Nothing more flattering about him
I can’t tell you the address because
I don't use it often. PRO TRACKER v2.101 (128K)

 The coolest music editor
like SOUND tRACKER, but much more
more powerful.  The description lists
only 30 differences from St, and
for the better.       
                                
 The program comes with
beptop SOUND tRACKER'obkux music
new, AMIG's .MOD files, and
Mouzon converter from PRO tRACKER
version 1.1.                     
                                
 By the way: RT player for-
takes no more than 4000 clock cycles
processor and 2756 bytes in memory.
BUT!  You've probably already seen the pro-
player and compiler for
SOUND tRACKER for 1700 cycles and
888 bytes! This is cooler.        
                                
MEGA SCREEN v2.5 (128K)

(C)DREAMS SOFTWARE INC., 1995  
                                
 We would like to tell you about the remark-
detailed work of the company 'DREAMS
SOFTWARE INC.'  - full second
version of MULtICOLOR-graphic
editor 'MEGASCREEN', with the help of
which you can expand
graphic capabilities of your
Spectrum without any appa-
military improvements.               
 Everyone knows that the usual
cnektpymockoro screen size at-
ributa is equal to 8x8 points. Screens
'MEGASCREEN' have size at-
ributa 2x8 points, which allows
significantly increase color
picture saturation.           
                                
                                
                                
                                
 All this became possible thanks to
giving the use of the latest al-
roputma beam tracking
on the monitor screen. Replacing at-
ribut at a certain time, maybe
but change the color of the beam on the screen.
