I am pretty sure I have a FORTRAN IV version of it running on CDC CYBER and
6000 series mainframes. I will dig it up next time I fire up the emulator.

The Star Trek simulation game TREK7 was written
in FORTRAN by Donald M.
Ecclestone in the early 70ties for the PDP-10.
The game was ported to VAX computers running VMS in 1978 by the author
with
the help of Dan Gahlinger.
For some years TREK7 fell into a deep slumber until in 1993 Dan Gahlinger
decided to revive it, but some severe bugs remained, hindering any
successful round of game.
Last year I began to work on the problems still present in TREK7.
After detecting and fixing more than 60 bugs (mostly caused by
transcription errors) step by step, the game is playable again now.
Dan Gahlinger backed out of the project and I am the maintainer of TREK7
now.

Former TREK7 players please give me a shout!
