... We have been upgrading the software front-end to WASP (Wideband Autocorrelating SPectrometer, operating from 800 to 4000 MHz) from Lynx-OS to Real-Time Linux and will discuss Real-Time software aspects. We are using a standard parallel ``PIO'' card to receive data from the spectrometer and standard GPIB interfaces that drive a frequency synthesizer for bandpass calibration. WASP and its front-end computer are fully mobile and can be taken to any suitable radio telescope. ...

The parameter pgdev allows the user to specify a pgplot device, but, in contrast to the pgplot standard, the file name should not be included, but instead supplied via the parameter plotfile . ... To write a colour postscript file called op.ps: pgdev=/cps plotfile=op.ps . However note that at present, if a colour postscript device ( pgdev = `/cps'), a fits file ( pgdev = `/fits') or a ppm file ( pgdev = `/ppm') are selected, the task in fact bypasses pgplot and writes the postscript file directly. ...

... For a semple of red giants comprising about 2000 stars, the distributions of metallicity [Fe/H] are given. ... The center of the distributions of giants in both galactic poles is found to demonstate a statisticaly significant gap similar to the one found earlier for the late main-sequence stars. The implications of the metallicity distribution properties for the problems of the chemical evolution of the galactic disk are discussed. ...

... We present near infrared broad band (J,H and K) and narrow band (H2 S(1)1-0 and Brackett gamma) images, and high resolution molecular observations (C{34}S(2-1), (3-2), (5-4) and {13}CO(2-1)) around the highly variable H2O maser located between the S235 A and B optical nebulosities. These observations are part of an on-going search for the sources of excitation of H2O masers in regions of star formation or, alternatively, for the earlieast evolutionary phases of massive stars. ...
