catch warez! - new Boot!

Let me answer yld Saturday, the 22 of March 1997:

RC>>> Cool! And what about the rest, are they giving a damn? ;)
SN>> IMHO, now we need either bootloaders that are too cool in terms of music and design, or
SN>> that are too sophisticated in terms of quantity and quality of functions.

RC> What for? Well, why does it have music, shimmering pictures and
RC> a disassembler?

To make it pleasant to use, load a masterpiece, and not a modest menu with
a minimum of necessary functions.

RC> Boot is a bootloader, and nothing more!

The fact of the matter is that there are a ton of small and modest booties, and this
quantity is quite enough.

SN>> PPPS: I can recommend reading the article in Oberon 3 on this topic,
SN>> although only a tenth of the question is covered there.

RC> Here from Oberon?

Shop =)

2All: I should have entered the item “BEST BOOTH” into the survey to find out who
uses what. By the way, who prefers what now? Perhaps I am already behind the times? Here is my hit parade:

Game-boot:

I boot by Inferno ............... 100
II boot by Unwinder/CA ............... 095
III boot by ROM/SMS/PGS ............... 091

Commander:

I Monster Commander by KSA ......... 100
II F Commander by Vadim Eremeev ...... 099
III Perfect Commander by James Advent. 083

2All2: What is Belousov Commander? Throw it into the echoплс!

Hasta la vista, Roland.
With God's blessing, Novikov Sergei

Let me answer yld Saturday, the 26 of April 1997:

IG> Definitely on both positions - Conver Commander by Y. Kovalevsky (typed from memory
IG>, so I can’t vouch for the accuracy of the English transcription) v.3.02Rus
IG> (above - they don’t work under the emulator, Yes, and I'm used to it.

FC too

IG> Why is it the same in the din?

Well, come on! I understand that it’s a squalor (oops!) to keep on system disks, but
on game disks, which contain all sorts of Navy Seals and Myths... You want to launch
Dizzy 5 128 (you’re in a great mood) - and in front of you instead of a gorgeous one. boot
with a full-screen scroller and cool music, a boring
commander appears in complete silence... :(((

IG> Well, there are different cases, you never know what you need to do on the
IG> disk. :)

And what, it’s difficult to take your main disk (where the main utilities are kept and
which is always at hand) and run the commander with him?

PS: Have you seen the monster (commander)? Very convenient + color settings like in
GoldEdColor or Dos Navigator.

SN>> 2All2: What is Belousov Commander? Throw it in the echo,
SN>> pls!

IG> What do you think of the boot from Max Petrov? him!

Do you have Belousov?

Hasta la vista, Igor.

Hello, Sergei!

It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Sergei Novikov to
Roland Chanishvily Wed Apr 23, 1997 at 16:52...

Well... I've been having trouble lately... There are a dozen floppy disks, and the Speck
programs are stored on a screw on the computer, so you often have to work with the disk. But before... I had my favorite boot - it was such a small
window with a shadow and a big arrow. All that the boot could do was re-read the disc on break. qaopm moved the arrow and launched the program. And you don’t need anything else. Listening to music or watching an animation in the boot is, IMHO, a mockery :)

IG>> Well, there are different cases, you never know what you need to do on

SN> Well, it’s difficult to take your main disk (where). contains the basic utilities and

And this system disk had a habit of getting dirty, and therefore IThis commander often lost. :)

SN> PS: Have you seen the monster (commander)? Very convenient + setting colors like
SN> in GoldEdColor or Dos Navigator.

I don’t know... Maybe I’ve seen it... I probably don’t remember.

IG>> What do you think of the bottle from Max Petrov?
SN> Don’t single it out :( - it’s a joke!
SN> Do you have Belousov?

Nope. Vova has Larkova can eat... Vova, throw the bottles in the fire.

In the old days I had one great programmer!
And he wrote little but well and only for my company - the company "Scorpion"
This is the company that is located in Rostov-on-Don and which gathered around itself
a hacker group "Scorpio Hacker Group" or "SHG" - probably someone remembers!
So this programmer - and this is none other than Vladimir Yudin who wrote a very cool boot on my order!
If you want, I can throw it into the echo!
The point is that it is _modular_!
If you want some text to be displayed - type in isdos - designate the file
boot.t and go ahead - when you find it, it will output the text from this file - otherwise -
built-in - advertising!
It’s the same with music - whatever kind of music you want, connect it - if there is no
boot.m file - the boot is completely silent!
And so on - nothing superfluous and most importantly _universal_!
If you want a small, fast boot (and it really won’t take much) - have
just the boot.b file - if you want music or something else - add modules and
enjoy!
This is the boot I still use to this day!
Ah! One more thing - the management there is also _universal_ - the maximum
standards used are taken!
So if you have any desires, I can throw it into the echo!
Volodya, I hope he won’t be offended by me - although all copyrights belong to me
as the director of the company"Scorpio" - and it will add a little fame to him!

With respect, Scorpion
