========================================================
University of Vaasa, Finland, Linux Pentium garbo.uwasa.fi has a
large collection of Shareware, Freeware and Public Domain PC
programs available by anonymous FTP, WWW (World Wide Web) and mail
server. The file ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/ts/0news-ts contains news
about the TS-programs in the /pc/ts directory (in reverse order).
This text, which you now have, is an extract from the 0news-ts file
and the Usenet news.

Sun 4-May-97: I have updated my condition oriented program
PACE.EXE "Timer to pace your calisthenics"
Added a /c## to choose how often the color of the time display
changes. The default is 60 seconds.
Sun 21-Aug-94: Updated again
PACE.EXE "Timer to pace your calisthenics"
In the last version I added sound to tick the passage of time. In
this version if you press S at any time during the program, it will
toggle the sound.
Added "JOGSUM.WKS Jogging for AsEasyAs spreadsheet"
It gives you a simple template for the
garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/spreadsheet/asa55c-[1/2].zip
As-Easy-As spreadsheet (a VP Planner spreadsheet shareware clone)
The relevant updated package is garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsjog16.zip
Wed 27-Jul-94: I have updated
PACE.EXE "Timer to pace your calisthenics"
- Added optional sound to tick the passage of time
- Corrected the bug in P (pause)
Basically PACE is a very simple program. It gives the elapsed time
in big characters changing color every minute. Somehow the program
being simple reflects the fact that I use it practically every day
for real for something that has nothing to do with computers. What
you would do with it is up to your own imagination and fitness
programs.
The other program in the package is JOG.EXE to perform basic
calculations for a jogging enthusiast. With the exception of
updating the email address in it, it has not been factually updated.
The updated package is garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsjog15.zip
Sun 18-Apr-93: I have updated to garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsjog14.zip
"A simple calculator and pacer for a jogging enthusiast". Corrected
the midnight bug in "PACE.EXE Timer to pace your calisthenics".
Added FILE_ID.DIZ "Brief characterization of tsjog". Some BBS
systems scan for a FILE_ID.DIZ in uploaded packages and, if found,
use its contents as the description in their annotated file list.
Added a brief "TSJOG.INF A readme".
Sat 1-Feb-92: I have updated my average speed & time calculator
JOG.EXE. A user (Hamish Whittal cchw@hippo.ru.ac.za) suggested that
the one kilometer intervalling option is insufficient. I have
consequently extended the usage to be
JOG DistanceKm Time [ComparisonDistance] [/i[IntervalMeters]]
include Interval schedule -+
The jog program is part of me hence updated package
garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsjog13.zip.
Sat 7-Dec-91: Updated my simple average speed & time / km calculator
JOG.EXE to include interval timing for each kilometer (optional
switch /i). It is available as garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsjog12.zip.
Sun 20-Jan-91: I have updated one of my oldest packages, the jogging
calculations to be /pc/ts/tsjog11.arc. It contains a simple jog.exe
calculator to give your average per kilometer speed and a comparison
to Cooper's test. The output of jog can now (optionally) be redirect
in the customary MsDos manner. The usage of jog is simple:
JOG distance [hh:]mm:ss [ComparisonDistance]
I have added a pace.exe program, which simply shows the elapsed
time to pace whatever calisthenics you may be doing. The time is
shown in really big figures taking up the whole width of the screen,
and changing text color once every minute.
These programs are not intended to be fancy as programs, but
to perform their simple tasks as practical aids to a hobby.
