we used to play a startrek [multi-user] at buena high school in
ventura on the PDP-11/44 and was written in BASIC-Plus 2 under RSTS/E
in 1984. It could have been a port of the same game... i've been
looking for that one for years. i lost my only listing of that in one
of my moves to texas from calif in 1986...
