Do you need XAS?

Hello Evgeny!
SI>>> I think that after all, XAS is the coolest and most convenient assembler
SI>>> for speckies!
FA>> That’s right, that’s exactly cool.
FA>> It’s strange that it is not very common among our coders, everyone uses some kind of
FA>> moronic arguments, ancient tasmas, and they don't notice this kind of candy.
By the way, I've been "destroying" him for a long time, Max, who
Petrov (the author of XAS) almost gave up on the spec and allowed me to delve into the source codes
(issued on pain of death :) to delve a little
. Right now the latest version is 7.43 and
7.43c (64 characters), although uncle Cris doesn’t want to make a converter
for 64 characters.
EM> People notice... But the fact is that all the characters above the 42nd
EM> are simply lost without a trace...
We have half the network (almost all coders in XAS'e
sitting) not without my help :)
In short, I can give up this thing (XAS 7.43 and XAS 7.43c
+sts5.1 (without glitches) + help for 25kil+
all2xas - converter + some other thread).
!!! HOH!!! I can throw this thing at
Boris Sokol, and he will commune on the PC,
because it’s a complete mess to deal with on spec
although let’s try, in short, catch how
you catch it, zip it with a spec zip and
if possible, distribute the NOT ZIPED
version.
All versions of Xas after 7.1
I did it, don’t bother Max Petrov
ifIf you find any glitches, come to me. And
some people here disassembled
xas and made it 64 characters, but I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for its
glitches! And Max cursed
for the fact that they did so without asking, in
this xas'e says "64sm by sts".
Contents of the archive XAS_ZIP.Z
XAS7.43c.B - 64 character version of xas'a
XAS 7.43.B - 42 character version of xas'a
Read Me.X - loaded into xas, there
changes in xas are compactly described
ALL2XAS4.B - converter to xas and from xas
to text
sts5.1a, sts5.1b - corrected version
of sts (not made by me)
xas_help.C - complete help to xas.
That's it, enjoy with XAS!
EM> Good luck! Evgeny.

Hello, All!
It’s quiet on the street, I’m looking through my mail, I suddenly remembered and decided to add it to the letter
from Thu Jul 24 1997 14:00, in which Paul Falcon tapped Evgeny Milun:
PF> In short, I can give up this thing (XAS 7.43 and XAS 7.43c
PF> +sts5.1 (without glitches) + help for 25kil+
PF> all2xas - converter + some other thread) .
PF> !!! HOH!!! I can throw this thing on
PF> Boris Falcon, and he will commune on PC,
Since I became this someone - in the next letters there will be an archive in which
everything that Paul Falcon wrote about.
With all sorts of regards and wishes.
Igor.

Okay, but why in the zipped version? Give it to him like this, file by file, he will pack it on the pussy himself, just be sure to check it,
Use. Zddddduuuuu!!!
PF> because it’s a complete mess on the speck
PF> although we’ll try, in short, catch it, how
What about the mess, what problems? .
So don’t throw away the zipper, I’ll tell you right away, people will pick it up as they take it, everyone will have it lying around in a zipper and that’s all, because
not everyone has these zippers and not everyone they work!!!
PF> I did all the versions of Xas after 7.1
PF>, don’t bother Max Petrov
PF> if you find it glitches, all to me. Yes, and
PF> some people here also disassembled
PF> xas and made it 64 characters, but for its
PF> buggy I am NOT RESPONSIBLE! And Max cursed
PF> for the fact that they did this without asking, in
PF> this xas says “64sm by sts”.
Yes, yes, I remember this version, recently my friends said that
they saw it, they haven’t caught it yet, the current session is over.

Hello Sergey!
Mon Jul 28 1997, Sergey Ilyin concocted a letter to Paul Falcon:
SI> So don’t throw away the zipper, I’ll tell you right away, people will have enough, as they will, everyone will have zippers lying around and that’s all, because
SI> not everyone has these zippers and not everyone has them they work!!!
It’s impossible to be more specific here, what doesn’t work and for whom?
With best wishes, Michael.
