From Alex Rybinskiy → To All 22 June 1997
Buenos Dias Sergey!
Answering yld Monday, the 23 of June 1997:
DM>> Comrades, until then we spectrists will use the nasty, but
DM>> dear to the heart graphic design ART STUDIO. You probably don't
AR> We know, we know and we even write!
SN> You're not alone ;) In St. Petersburg, in Chisinau, etc.
They haven't heard about Chisinau, but in St. Petersburg.... If this is the same...mmm...I don't remember exactly
I don't remember exactly, but the editor is oriented under the DOMAIN OS (PINK FLOYD), then it's
not our competitor! In that editor, apparently it won't go any further than editing icons. Although it is possible that OS DOMAIN has advanced at the present time, in comparison
with the demo version that is circulating in Samara, but _OBVIOUSLY_ ((C) VVZH) a modern
editor needs maximum free memory, and any OS except the native TR-DOS
devours this memory.
DM>> in addition to music editors, it would be necessary to write graphic ones ;-( with
DM>> strong support (or until 2000 we will draw 2D graphics on PC
DM>> and AMIGA I personally know 3 artists who quit drawing graphics due to
DM>> lack of thought and outdated AS interface (I work with the 128K version of
SN> Art Studio, by the way, it’s extremely easy to use.
Oh well!? Although who cares... I remember there was a version for 48K by N.RODIONOV,
so the “K” keys were used - for quick steering arrows and
all sorts of other things forswitching editing modes when zooming in.
Simply put, there was ART STUDIO with HOT KEYS and it was IMHO RULEZ!
AR> The graphic editor is “actively” being written in Samara by two comrades:
SN> Since “actively” is in quotes, does it mean it is in a figurative sense? :)
How did you guess?
AR> ALK / STARS OF KELADAN - main coding
AR> M.M.A/SPEED CO. - organizing & main idea macker
SN> That is, in fact, by one person, because "main idea macker"
SN>, although he participates in the creation, he doesn’t write anything! :)
Who doesn’t write anything? THIS is me not writing anything (M.M.A). Yes, all my notepads and notebooks at home are covered with notes. So no need to la-la...
AR> All ideas and advice on the editor can be sent to the editorial office
AR> of OBERON magazine or directly here....
SN> Was my ancient letter about Super Art Studio preserved by EM?
By the time EM came to the echo, there was a discussion of what to add to ART ST.
In my opinion, ARTY /DR also took part there.....
If this is it, then preserved, and if not, then washed away.
Comrades!!!!! Let's actively discuss the problems of writing a super-editor
graphics. It would be especially interesting to listen to the opinions of professional
artists.
With a carriage of the best!

From Denis Markelov → To All 24 June 1997
Hello Alex!
In a time distortion Tuesday June 24, 1997, a terrible thing happened: a message from Alex Rybinskiy Sergey Novikov was received from the dark
depths of subspace.
AR> Comrades!!!!! Let's actively discuss the problems of writing
AR> super-graphics editor. It would be especially interesting to listen to the opinions of
AR> professional artists.
All the talk about the super-editor, of course, is smart and meaningful, but for some reason it doesn’t go further than
them... How many times have I heard various rumors about the supposedly
graphics editor in preparation? But time passed, and the ill-fated editor never appeared. My opinion is that there is no need to invent anything. Just
drawing, I often jump from ART-Studio to Sprite Master. If you combine them and
add the missing functions from Artista (naturally, having refined the slow
image flips), you will get a very good thing.
For such a monster, you need to leave the art studio interface, and to work with
the disk, take it from SpriteMaster. And all converted graphics will be processed at the PC
anyway. Well, I'm done for today, and if anyone is interested, you can write.
AR> With a carriage of the best!
With a freight train, GodFather.
From Evgeny Milun → To All 27 June 1997
Hello Sergei !
Wednesday June 25 1997 11:30, Sergei Novikov ─── Evgeny Milun:
AR>>>> Who doesn’t write anything? THIS is me not writing anything (M.M.A).
SN>>> Wow!
EM>> Yeah. I also had difficulty understanding that the message was from M.M.A :)))
SN> Yeah. Is it really difficult to change the data in the From column?
No. But it’s easier to write “a letter from so-and-so.”
[.....]
SN>>> Wow! And this is written by Speed Co.?!
EM>> This is already written by Alexey (in Speed Co. only M.M.A respects this
EM>> tsaptsulyator).
SN> Then it is not clear how a large advertising article about MMA about
SN> Amiga snuck into Oberon 3? If everyone else doesn't like this computer.
So. One word - M.M.A
Good luck! Evgeny.
From Sergei Novikov → To All 30 June 1997
EM> No. But it’s easier to write “a letter from so-and-so.”
Easier? ;) I thought it would be easier to spend 5 seconds than to type the phrase “letter from
so-and-so”
Hasta la vista, Evgeny! See you in Eden!
