Hiya Vladimir! Answering a message marked with the following:
From: Vladimir Frunze (2:469/32.7@FidoNet); To: Sergei Novikov;
Date: Saturday, 11/15/97; Time: 18:07; Subj: "[1/8] Towdie"

SN>> Towdie... From somewhere in Eastern Europe. A very beautiful toy. ²FFC:
SN>> How about translation?

VF> Yes, beautiful! Both on Emulator 3.02 and on Scorpio Turbo+... Apart from three
VF> pictures and the ini, nothing works. Or is that intended?

What kind of MD? Either you're doing something wrong, or everything is buggy again. Running: on
X128 v0.8, under Shalaev v2.06 (I am, as always, conservative :), on live
Spectrum, though I don’t know what model (²AL: ?)

PS: Is the file order correct? ;)

PPS: I already scored 28 points when I didn’t fall into the abyss under the rope ;) What a steering wheel! Dizzy MD! F|-(=)

PPPS: And the prince dreamed of toilet paper ;) But how can he get a frog for you
you know what to deliver?


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

From Vladimir Frunze To All 16 November 1997

VF>> three pictures and an initry, nothing works. Or is that intended?

SN> Well, what kind of MD? Either you're doing something wrong, or everything is buggy again....

SN> PS: Is the file order correct? ;)

"What a MD!" (c)guess It was impossible to do it normally, right?

SN> PPS: I already scored 28 points when I didn’t fall into the abyss under the rope ;)
SN> Well, what a steering wheel! Dizzy MD! F|-(=)

Everything has its time.

SN> PPPS: And the prince dreamed of toilet paper ;) But how about a frog
SN> for you know what to deliver?

What to do with the mask? Well, I got dressed, well, I ran... And then? How do you even
get away from the dragon?

ps. "takeho malenko belenko kone? ne, towdie ho nevidel." ;))))

From Sergei Novikov To All 17 November 1997

VF> What to do with the mask? Well, I put it on, I ran around..

8) You put on a mask too! (Is this the one the chess player gives?) I scored 30 points, but didn’t
use it. =)

VF> What next? How to get out of the dragon?

How? Very simple? What is not clear there? You go to the right, go up the
stairs...

There is an assumption that the dragon is a simple decoration. To substantiate the nature of the
fish skeleton lying nearby `;)

SN> Как? Очень просто? Что там не понятного? Идешь направо, поднимаешься по
SN> лестнице...

Hу и?! См. ниже, где там лестница?

SN> Есть предположение, что дракон - простая декорация. Чтобы обосновать
SN> природу рыбьего скелета, лежащего неподалеку `;)

Может и декорация, но не простая. :) Огнедышащая.

You're confusing something. Zcop writes files to TRD in the order that was
specified on the command line.

Wildcards are used. Those. He may enter them not in sorted order, but in the order in which they are located on the disk. And they are located in sorted
(either because of the archivers, or because of the DH). And doing the command line manually
every time is too lazy.

Pressing Ctrl-Enter five times is no more difficult than *.$*.

Dear Mr. Kovrigin!
Quoting your message dated 24 Nov 1997 (23:50)....

VF>> ...And they are located in sorted order (either because of the archivers,
VF>> or because of the DH). And doing the command line manually every time is
VF>> too lazy.

AK> Most likely this is because of the DN, turn off file sorting in it ;)
AK> Although it will be inconvenient, it’s better to upload one file at a time.

Yeah, because someone is too lazy to rename a file, I have to endure such
inconveniences? ;)
