         ====================================
   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".
