Surprise yourself!  No they weren't; this is a vulgar Luddite myth.
Challenger was launched late in January, and G+U were going into the
Jupiter launch window around the beginning of June.  There were several
intervening flights scheduled.

Yes, you are correct.  There were some interveaning flights between Galileo &
Ulysses (as there has been currently) but the previous post that I was
refering to seemed to imply that they weren't being launched off the shuttle
in that time period.  They WERE, however, scheduled to be launched with the
Centaur upper stage rather than the current IUS.  They were also in the same
approximate time frame as current for the launch timeframe (if I remember
correctly).  They were also scheduled to be on two different flights, not to
be launched off the same mission, as the Centaur stage is fairly big.
