We are really looking forward to a cool shell that could be on par with dn.
Maybe you can agree among yourself (the authors of the commanders). After all, if in the copyright
under a cool thing everything is separated by a comma, will _this_ diminish your pride
for what you have done? In the end, there isn't that much creative energy to throw around. Instead of making 2-3 commanders with individual advantages, maybe it would be better to gather them all together? And all the useful utilities of other authors. Everyone
knows each other, so write to each other and do BIG and NICE
to a lot of peoplecase. And let it take six months, a year, but then people
will use Soft for many years and remember you with kind words.
In a word, you don’t need to act with “cavalry charges” - it’s a very
serious and very binding matter, but the glory will be loud.

the format of such a “tape image” from J.Swiatek&K.Makowski ver2.0 06/15/88
sp.exe 117,367
and how many other formats are there, Hobet’s are a drop in the ocean, in formats, as in
many other things, there is complete anarchy :( On the one hand this is good, but on the other
as growth (in the sense of life) of the Spectrum world, shamelessly wastes the strength of all
our people.

... please agree, for the good of the matter (with the indication of the co-authors or in special
thanks)

Big Sinclair AKA IBM PC? It never occurred to anyone that the Spectrum fan was extracting from the pussy foryour passion in life is not so much? Maybe
1/10000 of the possible? But this is a topic for another conversation.

why did you send it? There are always few who are ready for a “feat”, and even less of those who have accomplished it ;-) (In the sense that people always know their heroes and what YOU ARE
I cut from your correspondence with Eliseev and your other letters, and when the commander himself went into the echo, he expected this...) Sorry, that’s not “in the fury, but against” ;-)

Success in your creativity for the good Spectrum and all Spectrum people!

We won’t have to wait long! SW-COMANDER by SW from FFC! Demo in SPF 22. At the moment we have managed to speed up the work with the disk, there will be a built-in decoder-encoder <-> HOBETA. Working under emulsions is not expected (most likely), since
all operations are only with VG.

ALL<= Who has seen this program, it is interesting to know your opinion. Write.

Sincerely, Alex from FFC COMPUTERS.
