- Thank you for your contribution Michael. This upload is now
- available as
- 12182 Jan 22 13:54 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/filelist/garcvt10.zip
-
- This upload is naturally particularly welcome to us here at Garbo.
- I have one suggestion right away. Take a look at some
- non-descriptions. For example test searching for tsbat and you'll
- get also a directory that does not have it. You might wish to
- anchor the search to the first column in your potential future
- versions.
-
- All the best, Timo
