This also caused the first Y2K file naming dilemma, since I want to continue the original maximum 8+3 MS-DOS filename convention at Garbo archive's MS-DOS (and Windows) section. Now, why did I choose 60, not 00? Because 01-52 can be confused with weeks, 01-31 with days, and 01-12 with months. What about the years after 2019 :-). I am now 54 so that will not be my worry any more. : 5263 Jan 11 2000 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/filelist/ftplog60.zip ftplog60.zip Weekly download statistics for Garbo in 2000 : 5136 Jan 11 2000 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/filelist/ftpts60.zip ftpts60.zip Downloads of Timo's files in 2000 Mon 10-Jan-2000: Acquired to Garbo archives the updates 308785 Dec 24 1999 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/arcers/zip23x.zip zip23x.zip Info-ZIP's portable MS-DOS zipper (pkzip 2.04 compatible) : 362827 Dec 24 1999 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/arcers/zcr23x.zip zcr23x.zip Info-ZIP's zip MS-DOS executables with encryption support : 247148 Nov 29 1998 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/arcers/unz540x3.exe unz540x3.exe Info-ZIP's self-extracting unzipper (with 386 version) Mon 10-Jan-2000: Acquired to Garbo archives 37068 Dec 5 1999 ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/gifutil/lxpic.zip lxpic.zip MS-DOS JPG, GIF, PCX, BMP viewer, freeware, S.Peichl Sat 8-Jan-2000: As you will have noticed new file activities stay very low at Garbo.
