If anyone's interested, I've recently updated
my Star Trek page
somewhat. More BASIC versions, a little more blurb, and Java and
Z-code versions at

As always, corrections, additions, and comments are welcome.
Anyone got a FORTH or APL version?
Jerome Fine replies:
If you check the following address, you will find
a number of references to very old Star Trek versions.
While Tom Almy has replied that he did not keep the
original FORTRAN versions which he worked with
back in the 1970s (unfortunately very few people
realized at the time how important it was to archive
older software), at least I saved and archived one
of the original RT-11 SST.SAV and SST.DOC files which
it seems that Tom Almy may have produced using V03B
of RT-11.

These two files are presently hosted at:
http://www.dbit.com/pub/pdp11/rt11/games/
Note that the original date which I found on my
copy of an 8" floppy was December 18th, 1978.
Note also that on Tom's site there is a link to
the files SST.EXE and SST.DOC (sstdos.zip) which
can be played in a DOS box. As far as I can remember,
SST.EXE and SST.SAV (December 18th, 1978 from RT-11)
seem to play exactly the same.
Sincerely yours,
Jerome Fine
