  Этот COMMANDER был задуман как удобная  
оболочка  для  машин  с памятью не менее  
128к, основная  ее  цель  этоprovide  
maximum convenience and wide possibilities  
ness. These very possibilities of mutual search  
exclude the use of the maximum buffer  
ra for copying and compaction. But those  
no less, the shell is written with maximum  
new compactness (without compromising speed).  
When working in RC, the possibility of  
accidental damage to the disk, over 4  
months of operation (from version  
1.0) not a single disk was damaged.  
In 48k this version takes only 86 sec-  
ditch, and I recommend it to people with 48k  
either urgently expand to 128k or use  
use MONSTER COMMANDER, or ver-  
this RC 1.1 without a doctor, unfortunately in  
it has some disadvantages, but  
then it eats 105 sectors (at 48k).         
  Version 1.4 added several new ones  
opportunities.  Music player when  
copying and compaction is rubbed into  
last thing and now you can  
open the RAM DISK and copy the pair there  
musicians and then listen to them.  B  
in accordance with the recommendations on SCORPI-  
ONE does not kill the shadow player in the 8th bank.  
Fixed bug with net correction  
disk. Fixed bug with returning to  
COMMANDER from BASIC by command RANDOMI-  
ZE USR 23600. About other innovations  
read the description below. Shell control:

       system, then with this key you can  
 You can switch to HEX (and vice versa  
       but).                               
SPACE -Alternate mask             
EDIT -Selecting a drive or changing a disk,  
       pressing again - refusal.         
GRAPH - File marking.                  
CS+SS -Options, pressing again - failure.  
And also all the “hot keys” from the menu.    
                                          
 Options:                   
                                         
   The selection is made using either  
moving inverted strip,  
or using “hot keys”, which  
Some are also available in the main mode.         
                                          
   "New mask" - editing a mask  
by which files are output, please note that  
Files labeled "non-  
"visibles".  Used for quick  
search for the required files on disk.              
   "Alternate mask" - Toggle  
to an alternative mask. Initially  
in an alternative mask is set  
file extension "B" and you can simply  
by switching masks, display only BASIC  
files.                                    
   "Deleted files" - on/off viewing  
ra deleted files. For recovery  
the file must be renamed.       
   "File volume from:" - Cat/Vych, from  
the file length will be taken from the directory  
or be calculated.  If you see that in  
file information window length in sec-  
the color is purple, this means  
It seems that the length from the catalog does not match  
with the calculated length. In this case you  
you need to choose at your discretion  
Length calculation modefile.           
   "Remove markings" - marks are removed -  
copying from ALL files.                     
   "Mark files" - all files are marked  
VISIBLE files (by current mask).         
   "Rename file" - editing  
file name with extension under the cursor,  
BREAK - refusal.                            
   "Rename disk" - editing  
disk name, BREAK - failure.               
   "Erase files" - deletes all unchecked  
private files, pre-issued  
request.                                   
   "Copy files" - copy files  
fishing on another disk. If you change your mind  
copy, then when selecting the recipient  
drive, press EDIT. If the file is already  
exists on the receiving disk, then you  
a request is given to overwrite the file. If  
the length of the file on the receiving disk is  
length of what is being copied, then a copy is made  
copying to an already existing file, in pro-  
Otherwise, the old one is deleted and created  
a new one is given. This feature (previously not  
implemented in none of the known  
COMMANDER'ov) will help you in cases when  
yes, some text needs to be updated,  
download a new version of the program or  
modified version of the game without resorting to  
deleting files and compacting the disk. Lich-  
but this feature often helps me  
restore unreadable and unreadableamenable  
restoration of the program on the system dis-  
ok, for this you need to restore them  
via IGNORE and overwrite from backup  
disks. During the copying process  
disk control.                         
   "Move files" - marked files  
ly without any additional requests  
are moved to the end of the directory. Don't try-  
Be sure to move files using the copy function.  
tion, since the length of the copied files  
catch will be equal to the length of the received files  
disk, it will copy  
into yourself.                                   
   "Compact disc" - release of the  
area occupied by deleted files,  
after each recording cycle is made  
correction of the catalog, which allows compaction  
Remove the disk with maximum security.  
If the operation is interrupted, you risk  
lose one file (no more). But if  
you open the drive latch during  
records, then the directory on the disk is not correct  
is quoted for the last cycle and you can  
lose a lot more files.           
   "Correction of the catalog" - corrected  
create a file area and create a file area on it  
based on the system sector.  After selection  
functions a submenu opens where you can  
choose where the total volume will come from  
disk. Also note that the length of the last  
th file is taken from the directory, for example  
if he occupied 1024sectors, and in the file  
length 255 was recorded, then after cor-  
rectorship, it will occupy 255 sectors.  
Let me remind you that if the file occupies a "false"  
length, that is, the length from the catalog is not the same  
falls with the calculated length, then in in-  
file formation window length in sectors  
will appear in purple. Op-  
tion "Disk capacity 2544" means that everything  
disk data will be completely recalculated  
based on disk capacity 2544. Option "Volume  
from the catalog" uses for its own purposes  
FREE SECTORS parameter i.e. free sec-  
tors, and allows you to adjust disks  
formatted to a non-standard size  
quality of tracks. Both functions were recreated  
give the system sector based on the available  
file system. Not subject to change  
Only the disk name is displayed.                 
   "Open RAM disk" - this function is additionally  
stupid only on computers with no memory  
less than 128k. When you select this function,  
a window opens in which you are informed about  
number of available banks for RAM dis-  
ka and offer to enter the required volume. RAM  
The drive is selected by the letter "E". Working with RAM  
disk is no different from working with  
NGMD, but with incomparably greater speed.  
The disadvantages include the impossibility  
file launchability, and non-residence  
(after launching programs it becomes corrupted),  
although in the next versionplanned  
build a resident RAM disk for a computer  
ditch with memory 256k and above. RAM disk can  
but use it for temporary storage  
files, and is also very convenient to work with  
him in the doctor. You can also use  
it when you need to make many copies  
on floppy disks.  I suppose you yourself  
you will find many uses for it, especially  
if you have one drive.  When raised  
in COMMANDER from DOS or running  
The RAM disk program closes.           
   "Close RAM disk" - preliminary  
a request is issued.                          
   "Disc Doctor" - called by disco  
Doctor, read the description below.        
   "Exit to TR-DOS" - the exit is carried out  
progress in TR-DOS with pre-cleaning  
memory, disabling sneaky 128 BASIC  
and saving CAMMANDER in the 7th bank.  
At 128k or more you will be asked whether it is necessary  
return to COMMANDER. Possible  
gate by command from BASIC: CLEAR 49151  
(lower possible): OUT 32765.23: RANDOMIZE  
USR 49152. And also with one command: RAN-  
DOMIZE USR 23600.                         
                                          
   Before performing functions related to  
writing to disk, comparison occurs  
loaded system sector with sector  
rom on disk, which eliminates  
accidental disk damage. For example, changing  
disk, but notafter reading the catalog you won't  
you can rename the file, thereby  
corrupting the directory (overwriting the old directory  
to a new disk).                           
                                          
   Before programs start, there is  
clearing the 48th memory, disabling 128 bypasses  
Sika and saving COMMANDER in the 7th  
memory bank. So what do you do, PLEASE,  
in their programs a similar output:        
                                          
RESET LD A,#17 ;testing   
 LD BC,#7FFD ;7th bank on  
        OUT (Sun), A ;presence in it  
        LD HL,(#C000);COMMANDER.   
 LD DE,#FFЗ1                 
 XOR A                         
 SBC HL,DE ;if found,   
 JP Z,#С000 ;then launch     
 LD A,#10                     
 OUT (VS),A                    
 AND A  SBC HL,HL                     
 PUSH HL ;otherwise restart  
        JP 15649 ;TR-DOS         
                                         
   But you should also take into account one nuance:  
memory testing occurs only  
when you first start the program, and if you  
Our program changes the configuration of the computer  
computer, then COMMANDER will be incorrectly selected  
perform copying and compaction functions  
nia.  If your program uses  
uses the 7th bank, but you still want  
make a return to COMMANDER, then before  
using the 7th bank transfer it  
to any other unused one. In this  
case, the first mnemonic should be changed  
in the above procedure, writing in  
it has the required memory bank. Before returning,  
if necessary, you need to do below  
the given program.

   The general appearance of the doctor is similar to the doctor in  
CONVER, the difference is that in text  
window, the information on the disk is displayed with  
using the full character set in  
standard encoding.  To avoid  
excessive disk access after login  
in the doctor, the 0th track does not re-read -  
Xia and initially limited to the 9th sect-  
ramie, but if you re-read it, you can  
work with all 16. When working with cata-  
log, for convenience, a selection has been introduced  
color of file names. Upon entering the doctor  
the cursor is automatically set to  
file selected in COMMANDER.

only in the file area, system  
the sector does not change (this is done for  
in order not to disrupt the existing  
file system, but if you want you can  
correct the directory). If you  
you don’t want to lose the recovered files
