In old times the famous Engine Crew Monographs were stored on www.peg.com as well as on Progress site. Then they were available on www.fast4gl.com but now this location is lost too. Can we ask Progress to add the articles to the community's library? The articles were old. Some of them are available now in more recent version - for example, Space: the final frontier. But the articles like "How To Catch An Elephant" did not lose their meaning after all these years. ;-)

Or we can use these old articles as a starting point to write the new ones in Wikipedia-style. New articles could accumulate the technical knowledge about Progress internal mechanisms. Any volunteers?
George,
when i have some time, i will post them on communities.

I haven't checked if this is the most recent version on the way back machine.

I think "How To Catch An Elephant" is exactly the one that needed updating. How are you going to throw it?
And the stated solution:
[quote]Progress Programmers just include elephant.i.
[/quote]
Is not exactly an example of modern programming.
Have you seen the significant milestone it was 8.2A? (may 30th, 1997)
wow!
It's been a long time, and incredible tons of work since the beggining to that point, and from that point till yesterday.
So thanks for keeping this work until today!!!!
Greetings

should we instead being
using universe.galaxy.world.earth.continent.africa.zoo.elephantidae.proboscidea.loxodonta-africana from propath.
for instance.
;) I guess so....

Love your enthousiasm! ;-)
