INSTRUCTIONS FOR *STARFLEET* PACKAGE ==================================== The program STARFLEET was written by Trevor Sorensen for use on the RSX-11M(+) Operating System. STARFLEET is a fairly standard Star Trek-type program, although more sophisticated than most. However, one feature that sets it apart from most Star Trek games is the incorporation of a comprehensive Service Record and associated features. Each player is kept on file. A new recruit starts out as a Cadet in Star Fleet Academy (Rank 1) and eventually works his way up to full Admiral (Rank 10). Awards are given along the way for outstanding missions, and if a certain minimum standard is met for a given rank, then the player is promoted to the next rank. There is also a Star Fleet Post Office (SFPO) for mail service between players; the Star Fleet News to keep players abreast of happenings, etc.; and the program allows each player to view his own Service Record, promotion history, etc. These features are described in more detail in STARFLEET.SFA. The program is written in FORTRAN IV-PLUS, and is set up to be installed on UIC [200,200]. If this needs be changed, the following files will have to be edited (search for all 200,200's): MAIN.FTN MESS.FTN NEWG1.FTN SFCMD.FTN NEWG4.FTN NEWG4A.FTN NEWG4B.FTN NEWG4C.FTN HUMOR.FTN FINI.FTN PROM.FTN Use the command file STREK.CMD to compile the source files (STREKP.CMD will compile with listings). Use the following to taskbuild: TKB TKB>@STREK.TKB If players will be running the program from other accounts, the data files will have to have the privilege reset to allow them proper access. The instructions for running the program are contained in STARFLEET.INS and UPDATE.INS. Additional information is in STARFLEET.SFA. The utility program to maintain the data files, etc. is contained in SFCMD.FTN. The program to write the day-message is in MESS.FTN. For both of these programs, the current password is "SFHQ". For running STARFLEET itself, the password for the manager (FLEET ADMIRAL) is "TEST". This can be changed in the subroutine SIR in the file MAIN.FTN. A comprehensive manual exists for setting up and maintaing the STARFLEET program. It is called "STAR FLEET COMMAND OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT MANUAL". A copy of it can be obtained from the author by writing to: Dr. Trevor Sorensen McDonnell-Douglas Technical Services Co., 16441 Space Center Blvd. Houston, TX 77058 If you have any problems with the program, contact the author.
