VT fixums

As a matter of fact, I created a "3-D" version of the Star Trek game for the VT52 (actually a clone, I think a Teleray, but code compatible with the VT52). Even did all the spherical trig to get torpedo tracks right. If you remember, the BASIC version of the game would type out an 8x8 sector map, showing stars, Klingons, and the Romulan. I was exposed to this game under VSBASIC on a 370/168 under Wylbur at the University of Chicago Comp Center; I read the entire source, thought "I can do better than this," and wrote a version in PL/I that would clear the screen of a VT52, type 8 8x8 sector maps, with a ship's status display in the center of the screen. It ran interactively under TSO. <hrrkkk!> Not long after, I was introduced to Adventure on the DEC-20, and a love affair began that has not ended to this day.
