You can't. But here the ideas of creating a network distribution system for Spekov software were discussed. And in order to protect against
freeloaders-realists, it was proposed to release software purely under
emulsion.

"Virtual Spectrum" - sometimes such a big name
misses... :)

But there are also authors who do part of the work on the program on
PC.

Well, you can do it (at least try, without damaging the programs, of course!) so that it works on the emulator. So that everyone is happy. :)

That's for sure. And there’s no need to be artificial about itpush.

All the best.
Sincerely, Roman Milukov.

No, you understand that the point is not that I’m trying to specially make it so that it doesn’t work on the emulsion. A simple example - I wrote a viewer for our magazine on an emulator (because my spec is temporarily down) and what do I see on the emulator, the viewer is terribly askew, two screens are constantly blinking, the attributes are decomposing. Well, I think there's a glitch somewhere, I've looked all over the program - nothing. Then I recorded the sources and checked them on a real spec - everything was ok! Nothing mows down, nothing decomposes. So who's to blame
me or the simulator?
Of course, some can say that I wrote a viewer that plows
normally on the spec and on the simulator. Well, that means he’s better at writing a sub-mulator ;)

Yes, I don’t insist. No, no. You do it for Spec, and the
virtuals, if this is the case, let _their_ spec be finalized. :)
Take a soldering iron and read the subject “For those who don’t know this yet!” :)

Hey, this is already our way, so I agree :)
