I checked what I received from the FAQ (without a password) - everything is fine,
not broken.

Oh... scared. There is no need to confuse the magazines with everything that flew by. Both Sp_22 and
23 work without glitches (at least, those described above ;) Actually, 2 subjects (in the sense of log versions) flew across the fae. 1) - unauthorized posting
of password-protected archives (an attempt to blackmail the authors), 2) - so to speak, the authors
response to the previous impudence with the aim of leaving this attempt unsuccessful (notwe will argue
about the legality of this action on the part of the authors - and without us there are enough debaters).
In short, it would be nice to mention what we are talking about... Having checked the archive, which
was posted by Sergei Novikov (STEP), I was convinced that it was clean. By the method of elimination (either
it or one of the two;) I came to the conclusion that what had flown by
previously was incorrect.
-----------
So I warned that the pirated versions sent to the filehouse by Larkov do not inspire confidence... Maybe it’s time to understand that I won’t just wag my tongue? And may God punish me for my ambition, not my echo ;)

256+128 :) Why - I don’t know. Some people have crooked software/hands... Or (if Zonov
guessed to install protection) it’s true - hackers in St. Petersburg died out like mammoths and the likereasons ;) Not... judging by the fact that the figure is not random - it is still the software's fault (or the one who uses it)...
SN> I wish you good luck in this difficult matter...
I hope no one will think of blaming _us_ for this? Well, except for Milun and
Mikhailov, of course.

PS: I do not rule out the possibility that glitches appeared on the 5010/90 side (this is not a hit, but a reinsurance ;)... I did not check the Larkov parcel... I'm afraid of viruses ;) I would like to hear a confirmation/refutation of the brokenness of the pirated
versions. Just say that in there in the tradeshnik at 34A7F You can use soap, but
it’s better in the echo - they said a lot of “kind” things about us here about this... (and we
just wanted to save our honor - after all, they would then say that STEP released
glitchy numbers... and I even know who...)
With respect, Dmitry (OLDMAN).
