SYSTEM
No computer magazine (even a gaming one) can do without a review of application programs. And this is understandable: many application programs help fulfill your cherished dreams, such as creating your own game. There are a great many programs that allow you to draw sprites, construct mazes, compose music, and so on. In this section, we will prioritize such programs. But we will not limit ourselves to just this. Everything that deserves attention will receive our support. Much depends on our Russian programmers. We are ready to collaborate with authors and developers of system programs.
Here we will publish your branded descriptions of the programs you have worked on and are now releasing into the world. Our magazine and the "INFOCOM" company will help ensure that your efforts do not go to waste. If you already have your own developments that deserve a place among the necessary and useful application programs, write to us. We plan to create a Programmer Support Center that will help you promote your software product in the country's markets.
Your work should be well compensated. Enough of us all having bare communist enthusiasm.
