At the turn of the year I'll be again making available a brief history of these and the near newsgroups for 1994, just like /pc/pd2/hist9[1-3].zip before. This year the CAM newsgroups have settled to a rather steady routine.

As of the coming week Garbo will have to decline taking any new Windows uploads for an indefinite period because of scarce manpower resources. Thus starting next week we will only be considering Windows updates of programs that we already have on Garbo. Primarily Garbo has always been an MS-DOS site, but our modest Unix and QL activities will continue. We would also like to renew our call for electronic scientific working papers. For that aspect please see 2022 Mar 20 1994 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/research/0info.txt 0info.txt Information about the garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/research directory The Windows programs that we already have will continue to be available from Garbo. Thu 8-Dec-94: Made a major overhaul of Garbo's astronomy gif directories. Instead of the old /pc/gifastro directory we now have the following directories for you to enjoy gifaster : Astronomy gifs of asteroids and comets gifcraft : Astronomy gifs of shuttle, satellites and probes gifearth : Astronomy gifs of the Earth and the Moon gifinner : Astronomy gifs of the inner solar system gifouter : Astronomy gifs of the outer solar system gifslevy : Astronomy gifs of P/Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet gifstar : Astronomy gifs of stars and galaxies Thu 8-Dec-94: Obtained a number of astronomy images and selected the following for inclusion on Garbo's collection today. The image (galaxevc.gif) shows 11 shapshots back from present 14 billion years back to 2 billion of years. Exceptionally for Garbo this image is black and white, but I chose it because it is so educational. : 205768 Dec 8 16:09 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/gifstar/galaxevc.gif galaxevc.gif Galaxies, Snapshot sequence in time, Hubble images - This image shows Planet Pluto and its fairly newly discovered moon Charon. Unfortunately I could not find the correct text for this image so it comes without the usual imbedded comments. I would think, however, that this must be a Hubble telescope image since the two bodies are so distinct. I believe seeing somewhere that ground based telescopes cannot make the two bodies totally apart. : 19731 Dec 8 12:31 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/gifouter/plutocha.gif plutocha.gif Pluto and its moon Charon Wed 7-Dec-94: Got from the author the visually impressive 682214 Dec 6 03:04 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ham/pctrk304.zip pctrk304.zip PC-Track 3D Satellite Orbit Visualization Package, T.Johnson Wed 7-Dec-94: Got from the author 50557 Dec 3 21:58 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/binedit/hex31.zip hex31.zip The HEX Binary Editor with insert/delete, J.Durward (good) Sun 4-Dec-94: Obtained to Garbo archives 62081 Jan 31 1994 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/math/lpsol14.zip lpsol14.zip Mixed integer linear problem solver This is for vanilla MS-DOS.

Much of the information has been upgraded by the responses to my query sent to the moderators of the sites. This was a one-time operation, since usually the gentle archive site moderators should keep me advised of any changes they wish to have on the list.

As expected it turned out to be quite a task, since I went through each and every Turbo Pascal package to reassign them in Garbo's new Turbo Pascal directory arrangement. At the same time I rewrote and expanded most of the file descriptions in Garbo index /pc/INDEX.ZIP. The Turbo Pascal directories at Garbo now are turboobj : Turbo Pascal object based programs turbopa1 : Outdated, non-functional or incomplete Turbo Pascal material turbopa45 : Turbo Pascal versions 4.0, 5.0 and 5.5 specific material turbopa6 : Turbo Pascal version 6.0 specific programming material turbopa7 : Turbo Pascal version 7.0 specific programming material turbopas : Generic Turbo Pascal programming language material turbovis : Turbo Pascal TVision oriented programs turbspec : Special requirement TP programs, protected mode, BP, etc Tue 13-Sep-94: Acquired to Garbo 116927 Sep 8 09:23 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/diskcopy/ddupe409.zip ddupe409.zip DiskDupe Trial disk duplicator, nagware, MS Designs, Inc.

You'll find the yet unsorted material in the /pc/turbopa2 directory. For the time being that is almost all the Turbo Pascal material Garbo used to have in the /pc/turbopas directory. Garbo's current Turbo Pascal directories are given below, but changes are possible if practicalities so dictate. turboobj : Turbo Pascal object oriented programs turbopa1 : Non-functional or outdated Turbo Pascal material turbopa2 : Yet unsorted Turbo Pascal programming material turbopa45 : Turbo Pascal versions 4.0, 5.0 and 5.5 specific material turbopa6 : Turbo Pascal version 6.0 specific programming material turbopa7 : Turbo Pascal version 7.0 specific programming material turbopas : Generic Turbo Pascal programming language material turbovis : Turbo Pascal TVision oriented programs turbspec : Special requirement TP programs, protected mode, BP, etc Mon 29-Aug-94: I am trying to put some order to Garbo's bulging Turbo Pascal program collection. We currently have the following Turbo Pascal directories under the /pc hierarchy turboobj : Turbo Pascal object oriented programs (including all code that need objects.tpu) turbovis : Turbo Pascal TVision oriented programs (self-explanatory) turbopas : Turbo Pascal programming language (what runs preferably with vanilla 5.0 - 7.0) I have created a new directory for TP code that cannot be compiled with vanilla TP turbspec : Special requirement TP programs, protected mode, BP, etc The task of going systematically through the current Turbo Pascal programs is simply too great, so well be allotting the programs anew to these directories as updates come along or we notice discrepancies.

Since I am on vacation (would you believe it) away from Vaasa, and have only a 16-grayshade VGA laptop with me, I cannot be absolutely sure, but this appears to be the image that has featured in so many newspapers a few days ago.
