This directory contains the source, executable and subsidiary files for the ULTIMATE Star Trek game - TREK84. The installation of this game has been left up to the discretion of the reader. The following points should be observed, however: o The sources should not be left where the public can get at them. o The game (TREK84.EXE) accesses several files - the players must have write access to TREK84.DAT (the ratings file) and TREK84.STA (the statistics file). The file TREK84.HLB is used as the game's help library, and players must have read access to it. The program refers to these files through logical names - for a sample setup, refer to file ASSI.COM in this directory. o If the statistics and/or ratings file are destroyed accidentally, you must recreate them using TREK84.FDL and STATS.FDL respectively. o The file CAPTAINS.MEM should be made available to all potential players. It contains the information necessary to play the game. The source and subsidiary files are grouped as follows: o VARDICT.* is a set of files that gives definitions of all the COMMON variables used in the program. These are maintained as a text library. The file VARDICT.LIS is generated from that using: o DCPR.FOR and DCPR.EXE should not have to be used unless you are modifying the program and want to keep track of additional variables. o DICTIN.COM sets up the commands used to access the dictionary: 'var' - adds a variable 'whatis' - tells you what a variable means 'undef' - undefines a variable 'dict' - lists every definition o DEFINE.COM is used to enter each definition (which may be multiline). o All other .FOR files (except DCPR) are sources for the program. o All .FTN files are 'INCLUDE' files for the FORTRAN programs. o TREK%.HLP are the sources for TREK84.HLB o The .FDL files are used to create the data files accessed by the program. o The file 84L.COM is used to link the programs after compilation.
