Halcyon Infofile v1.0
You may not know what is Halcyon and what it does. Don't worry
(be happy), this info-file is created for all the stupid persons
like you, which don't know what Halcyon is.
Oh well, I'd better start with history.. Halcyon was founded
by Blitz and fate in 1993 (or 1992, who cares!?!?). In the
beginning it was _VERY_ (I really mean _VERY_) lame group
and the name was different (I wont mention the name here..).
We released couple of products, mainly utilities, but then
we made our first BIG mistake: we decided to make an intro
(without any graphicians or musicians!). So, we had two
members, both coders and we made an intro. Can you imagine
the quality of that intro? Later in 1993 we made another
intro, that was bullshit too. In the end of 1993 Copter
(graphician) and Mr.BUG (musician) joined us. We changed our
group's name. After couple of months we kicked Mr.BUG out,
'coz he didn't do anything. PLacidity joined us as designer
and graphician. We released X-MAS-intro (which was bullshit
too) and CroakeR (musician) & Bass-Cadet (musician) joined
us. It was year 1994 and we changed our group's name to Halcyon.
Vorpal (ANSI artist) & Cabby (coder) joined us and we kicked
Copter out, 'coz we don't like superELITES and he couldn't
draw anything acceptable (Actually Copter left our group
himself, but we were planning to kick him out anyway, 'coz
he couldn't draw very well). After couple of months we realized
that Cabby can't code and we kicked him out. Sigh joined us
as musician and we kicked Vorpal and Bass-Cadet out too, 'coz
Bass-Cadet didn't do anything and we realized that we don't
need ANSI-artist. Couple months before Assembly'94 we started
making an intro for Assembly'94 introcompetition.
As you can see our member-status is changing all the time.
Currently we have five members:
CroakeR (Jaakko Iisalo) Musician [78]
Blitz (Kimmo Kangas) Coder [79]
fate (Jukka Lehto) Coder [79]
PLacidity (Petri Lievonen) Graphician/designer [79]
Sigh (Sakari Hyrkkö) Musician [79]
As you can see, we all are quite young, but I think we
are pretty good. In the beginning, when we were lame group,
we made mainly utilities (DOS & SBBS, which usually were
bullshit), but now we are making mainly demos & intros.
Ofcoz we make everything what comes to our mind.
I won't tell you our group's older names, 'coz they
were _LAME_ and they released _SHIT_! So, our current
group, Halcyon, has offically born in the beginning of
the year 1994 and it has nothing to do with older shits.
Here is our release-list (which will be updated):
Name Size DD/MM/YY Short description

You should be able to find these files on our dist.sites.
Well, here's our problem: we don't have any HQs or distros.
So, if you want your BBS to be our HQ or just a distro, please
contact us somehow.
If you want to join us, it would be good if you live
somewhere in the capital-area (pääkaupunkiseutu, 90-area or
whatever), Finland. That's 'coz it helps keeping contact and
we don't like making ld-calls (long-distance, u know..)
Wanna contact us? Well, I think it's quite difficult, 'coz
we don't have any HQs or distros. You should try to find
somebody of Halcyon from some BBS and leave him a message.
