From Sergei Novikov To All 1 October 1997


Howdy, All!

Now it is definitely clear that 4 RVL will be the last. Why? Because it is impossible to cope with such a mountain of material. In terms of volume of material, RVL4 will probably
overtake Spectrofon (even if you don’t count the supposedly 200K pokes and new
proprietary cheats, then about 160K more articles are being collected. One global solution to
Enterprise is worth it! How much time did it take? And how long will it take
to finalize the submitted articles?

And then all this will have to be painted =((((((most likely, there will be a color
viewer with a maximum amount of text of 10*32K, although again it may not be enough).

And you will also have to color it yourself (it will take several days), because
I’m not sure whether the person to whom I would entrust the coloring can do it no worse than me...

Of course, we can say that it is not necessary to subsequently release such
rich issues, but I I am of the opinion that each subsequent issue
should be no worse than the previous one -> at some point everything had to reach its
logical end;)


With God's blessing, Novikov Sergei AKA. Spirit/STEP

Use ZX-WinWord. In the end, it is precisely for these purposes that it was created.

SN> And you will also have to color it yourself (it will take several days),
In WinWord - no more than 15-20 minutes for a text, ~20Kb long
SN> because

EM> Use ZX-WinWord.

After DN, the texts there are not too responsive... hmm... nice. Moreover,
RVL is 64 characters per line.

EM> In the end, it was created precisely for these purposes.

From Sergei Novikov To All 7 October 1997

SN>>>> again not enough).
EM>>> Use ZX-WinWord.
SN>> After DN, the texts there are not too responsive... hmm... nice. Moreover
SN>> especially since RVL is 64 characters per line.
EM> Nu-nu... Then, since you are editing text on an IBM, pick up
EM> Pascal or something like that, and make yourself a coloring utility.
EM> In Pascal this can be written in literally half an hour... And if not secret, how do you
EM> want to combine 64 symbols and colors?

As it’s done everywhere: in Newsk, Nikron, etc.

From Evgeny Milun To All 13 October 1997

EM>> Okay, I believe... So why don't you make yourself a utility?

SN> Why? Because of one issue?
Oh, of course... It’s easier to say that the newspaper is closing because there is nothing to do with it... The method has already been tested by Matveev.
