News

• All of the GALAXY software, including the CTSU stuff, library and graphics, will now also run in the Microsoft^TM Win-32 system (Windows 95^TM and Windows NT 3.51^TM and above). [Link here]
• Jonathan Oulds has developed LABYRINTH, a Windows-based C++/SQL system which is planned gradually to take over the CTSU functions of GALAXY during 2001-2004 and beyond. Astrophysical users shouldn't worry about this - the 'classic' GALAXY stuff will continue to be supported!
• An experimental 'C' library KK:CUASAR.OLB, analogous to the FORTRAN one KK:QUASAR.OLB, is being developed. Just in case.
• Paul Appleby's GRCA (FORTRAN graphics library for PostScript printing) works fine on PCs!
