Hello dear editors
ZX-ELEMENT. This letter is from the city of BREST.
First, let me introduce myself - my name is Andrey

And in conclusion I would like to wish the first
Belarusian magazine ZX ELEMENT further
development, more letters from readers and
the most important thing is UNDEAD!!!
Well, this letter is already from Gomel from piles
penned by RUSH and KVAZAR.
It's finished! Finally, after so long
months of waiting for hopes and worries, promises
and disappointments, in the end Belarus
gave birth to its own electronic
edition. The long-awaited "ZX-ELEMENT" saw
light. Hurray, hurray, hurray!!! Yes, it's true
an epoch-making event and I am sincerely glad to see the release
already the second issue of the magazine. After all, how much
we have already seen similar electronic publications
nies, who sadly ended their journey immediately
after the first issue, there are far more examples
no need to walk, but the creators of "ZX-ELEMENT"
showed us all yourperseverance
and the desire to continue what we started. Remains
just hope that despite everything
difficulties and obstacles they will be able to achieve
success in this.
Having looked through the first issue I was pleased
surprised and pleased that the magazine is not bad
xo and well designed, content of articles
also at the proper level (although there are
and typos), a large number of interesting
good and useful material, in short -
Pretty cool for a first issue.
Well, perhaps I’ll stop wasting the com-
compliments, now I’ll allow myself a few
critical comments.
Firstly: what I especially don’t like is
It turned out that the magazine did not work at all
capable of machines such as "Scorpion", "Som-
rast", as well as "Pentagon" (with the wrong
decryption of port #1F/). And if on the first
a hardware reset occurs, then on two
the latter - control looping, due to
calls to the non-existent "mouse". I'm co-
I clearly understand that simultaneous polling
control - this is very convenient for the encoder, but
As a result, users who suffer
"kempston mouse" is missing. For example, I
I was able to read the magazine only after getting the original
nal "Byte-128+", since neither on my
"Compact", nor on the neighboring "Pentagon" with
the above defect, notmanaged to
to write not a single article, let alone re-
turning on the menus.
For those who have not yet understood, or
I'm familiar with a similar glitch, I'll explain its essence.
When you load a magazine and the screen appears
is a menu, it turns out that the button
'fire' "kempston joystick" constantly pressed
that, therefore, about no normal
shell management is out of the question.
I would like to hope that in the second issue this
the annoying mistake will be eliminated.
Secondly: the absence of graphics in the magazine
ki. If she wasn't in "ENERGY", then it's...
It’s clear: a newspaper is a newspaper. But such a co-
leading publication, what a magazine should be
"ZX-ELEMENT" is clearly not becoming. In the very
Minsk has many talented artists,
There are few children - we will help as much as we can, but the magazine
must be decorated to the highest class.
Well, we're done with the criticism. And yet
The magazine has many more advantages, they are
the shortcomings more than make up for the shortcomings. Yes, why not
the shortcomings more than make up for the shortcomings. Yes, why not
not to leave "ENERGY" as the name of the newspaper, but
give the magazine one legal one: “ZX-ELEMENT”?
Think about this sentence.
That's all for today, see you next time
issues. Best regards, KVAZAR. 02/10/98.
Ecob Eduard from Minsk in his letter
asked us to tell us how to get to "Og-
nenny hall" in DIZZY-U.
Unfortunately for us, none of the questioners
we were unable to reach this “Hall”
and therefore the answer to your question remains
open.
