From Sergei Novikov To All 7 March 1997

Howdy, Max!!!

It happened on a gloomy Friday, the 28 of February 1997. A minute to midnight
Max Romanoff wrote to Sergei Novikov such a delightful letter that I consider it
to be my duty to comment it:

SN>> Stupidity. It’s one thing to evaluate, for example, a game (a user who has
SN>> _only_ Specky doesn’t care what it’s made on, even on a PK86), and another
SN>> is an archiver that requires another computer (the same
SN>> user won’t be able to work with it).

MR> ehehe.... Well Why should users use packers? IMHO they are needed

That's the point. According to the results of the "ANQUETK ;)", system programming took first place in popularity
Hasta la vista, Max.
With God's blessing, Novikov Sergei

Hello Sergei,
In a message dated 07 Mar 97 you wrote to me :

SN> popularity.

IMHO, packers are not needed for this business.

Good Luck...
