Ditto! I'd love to get that source code too, but if it appears on Pete's

that would be great. BTW Pete, that StarTrek page is already a lot bigger
than the last time I had a look at it. Sure need to read it again!
I seem to remember to have a StarTrek game with the famous 8x8 plot
written in 6800 (or was it 6809?) assembler. I have the original manual
with the source code listing, but I did scan that while I worked at Oc? :-)
Should I start looking for it on my (off-line) backup disk?

Please, please, please tell me you kept the
source code? :-)
That's what I was going to say :-) It would be a very worthy addition to
my Star Trek page http://www.dunnington.u-net.com/public/startrek/
It needs a bit of updating, though (my webpage, not Rich's program ;-))
I played the same game with the 8x8 sector map,
but ours was compiled
on the HP-2000, so I couldn't read the source :-(.
Mike Mayfield's HP2000 version is on my page (the one online is from a
tape. Originally I had a copy from a listing, and there are still some
copies of that floating around t'internet, mostly with free typos). The
compiled version is probably the same or very similar.
