A little history...
Quick Commander is based on the commander "Max Petrov`96",
for which its author has a huge cnacu6o. Commander changes first
were carried out to correct many existing errors
(see list below), but after, thanks to the pressure
Mickruhi-Makla, it was decided to significantly develop the already considerable
ha6op functions (which was done successfully). The result of which is
there was a series of Quicks.
Currently, Quick Commander is
typ6o-commander primarily designed for acceleration
standard (Copy, Delete, Move, etc.), as well as non-standard
(Check, Restore, Format, Rename disks; Meep, Verify, Restore
catalogues; viewing screen files; playback
Pro-Tracker melodies, etc.) disk operations.
For ease of use, Quick is controlled by a Kempston mouse (if
someone needs it, then you can do it with a joystick) and “hot”
keys. By the way, this is the only commander I know where
With the help of a mouse-like device, you can choose absolutely
any function. The shuffling through files is carried out by sinclair-2,
keyboard Q, A, O, P and cursors.
Due to the high speed of Quick`a, when writing files
and formatting the disk may result in incorrect recording. Because of what
this arises is not yet clear, although Spellbinder (one of the most
best hardwar guys from Minsk) made a lot of assumptions about
about this, but, for example, a glitch appears on its Profi, and on
Profi Filosof`a no problems. Actually, I know in Minsk
only3 (three) people with this joke. Because of this in Quick
Commander v1.3 introduced the ability to enable normal
(hetyp6upobahhoro) recording mode. Switching is done
any disk doctor (for example Conver) by visual
Basic text changes (you just need to forward 6ykobky
"Y" to 6ykobky "I" :-) ). Let me remind you that the effect is visible only when
recording files and formatting disks.
Detected and corrected glitches "Max Petrov`96":
v On “braking” disk drives (TEAC is also one of them) it is impossible
read the directory due to the constantly popping up "IO disk"
v When starting from the B: drive, the commander joyfully wrote that
zapytsen with A, although inside he noted that zapytsen with B: - with
when copying, the result is unpredictable
v When running programs from the B: drive, the commander suddenly climbs
behind it on A:
v The coolest glitch: when renaming a file or disk,
by holding down the "Delete" button you can move off the screen,
nokpomcaba frame that will not be restored in the future
v If there are more than 66 Basic files on the disk, the name of the 66th
file (the last one in the menu) is not printed, although the cursor is on it
becomes and the file runs
v The glitch appears if the drives do not eject or eject
match (A>>B or B>>A), then after MOVE the commander will transport
this inscription at your discretion (A>>A or B>>B) and sharply
breaks to the opposite drive
v An unpleasant effect when blank (basic-free) discs
you cannot rename or enter the CARE menu at all for
restoring a directory from an archive
And co6ctbehho additions:
v The bottom line with the menu has been redrawn (for example, “Z-name”
or "Q-Run_48" replaced with more understandable "Uame", "Run_48"). B
connection with the redirection of hot keys and the release of “Q”,
sinclair-2 is now completely equivalent to Q, A, O, P, space;
I remind you that run files like thishot buttons like
"C", "I", "T" can be done with symbol shift
v Memory support for Profi 256, 512, 1Q24 K6 with memory on RU7,
in the future it will be changed to support any types of Profi (to
unfortunately, due to an additional error, the first 128 are copied incorrectly
K6, corrected in version 1.3)
v Support for 11 character drive names according to the Conver standard
Differences between Quick Commander v1.2 and v1.1:
v Disk formatting has been introduced (with Verify, faster than TR-DOS)
which allows you to get fast disks on which Quick pa6otaet
at the highest speed (previously this had to be done first
format and then restore (clean!!!) disk)
v Indication on Check and Restore disk has been introduced
v Completely new (rewritten from Q (scratch)) Profi driver
memory, for which a huge cnacu6o Spellbinder`y/Diensoft.
Any most perverted Profi with quantity is supported
memory 128-1Q24 K6 Differences between Quick Commander v1.3 and v1.2:
v A new View item has been introduced, allowing you to view on-screen
files ("V" or double click on @-files or standard
screen, "Enter" - change colors) and listen
Pro-Tracker melodies (you click on a file up to 64 long
sectors, and he will do the rest himself), which is why the size of Quick`a
is now 35 sectors <:-(
v Switching recording modes (see the beginning for details)
help`a)
N E L P o m e n u s k a m.
Home:
1-reread - reread the disk directory (similar toaverage knon-
ka mouse)
Care - enter the CARE submenu, see below
Tr-dos - fast (even this is accelerated) output to Tr-Dos
Run_48 - running the program on which the cursor is located from 48 K6
Uame -disk renaming
Spc-mark - space, enter the marking submenu
Markings:
1-new - reread the disk directory
Copy - copying, taking into account the order in which the marks are
povali (marking Enter, and "Q"); and at Speed
nuohax does not spoil page 8
Move - MOVE, it is also in Quick MOVE Del(ete) - see line above
Ren(ame) - allows, in addition to direct functions, to restore
deleted files
View - see above for more details (in the description of the differences)
aLl - mark all files (already marked mark-
xia), called by the "L" button
X-clr - the "X" button will remove the mark from the marked
files
spc - by space (spc=space) return to the main menu
Care (disk care):
Meep - save the directory to the archive on the last track
Show - compare source and archive directories
rEstcat - restore a previously saved directory from the archive
Check - quick check of the disk when a failure is detected
trying to repair the disk
Restdisk - also useful to apply to all disks for o6ec-
baking the highest speed of Quick`a
Format - formatting, see above for more details (in the description
research differences)
It remains to add this:
- In all menus, switching input and output
drives Edit and Caps Lock (Caps Shift + "1" or "2") well a
With the mouse you can simply point at 6ykby of the desired drive.
- And also the fact that the next version of Quick will not be released soon, but
It may not work out at all. That's it now. Bye!
R.S. Big thanks to Philosof for the hard work of writing this
text under my faltering dictation, as well as Mentat`y for Logo in
beginning help`a.
