╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Star Trek was one of the first computer games ever written. The
first versions were written for mini and mainframe computers back
in the early 1970's. There have probably been more versions of
this game written than any other as there is probably at least
one version around for every type of computer ever made. This
game is definitely a classic.

The version you now have is related to the other versions in its
basic game play, but fully takes advantage of the high resolution
of the EGA display. I originally discovered the game around 1974
running on a DEC System 10 mini and was soon hooked. I've since
written several other versions of the game for computers
including the Timex-Sinclair ZX81, Apple ][, Prime 50-series
minis and MS-DOS machines, all using BASIC of one sort or
another.

This game requires a PCompatible with an EGA card/monitor. There
seems to be a real shortage of games that take advantage of the
full EGA capabilities (640x350, 16 colors). This is my second
EGA game; the first one, known as "Mah Jongg" has been out since
mid-1987 and has received a gratifying response. (If you don't
have "Mah Jongg" and would like a copy, I'll be happy to mail one
in exchange for the $15 registration fee.) If you're still
running an older display adapter that doesn't support EGA I'm
afraid you're out of luck running this particular game. I'm sure
you can find a version that supports your system though.

SHAREWARE

EGATrek is distributed under the "shareware" concept, also known
as "user-supported software". Under this concept, you save the
high cost of packaging and distribution while still receiving
high quality software. You are free, and in fact encouraged, to
distribute this software to your friends, to BBS's and to user
groups. Companies that provide software duplication services may
include EGATrek in their catalog and provide copies for a
reasonable duplication fee. All copies must include the files
"trek.exe", "trek.doc", "trek.ref", "orderfrm.txt" and "egatrek.txt".
You are not allowed to modify the files in any way, and this
shareware notice must be kept intact. The author retains all
other rights to the program.

Under the shareware concept you are encouraged to register with
the author for any program that you continue to use. For a
registration fee of $15 or more I'll send you a copy of the latest
version of the game and answer any questions you might have. I
will also try to answer questions from non-registered users if
they include a self-addressed stamped envelope with which to
reply.

I'd be happy to hear of any improvements you'd like to see, as
well as any bug reports. Many of the new features since the
original version of the game came about as suggestions from users.

When registering, or writing for any reason, please include the
following:

* EGATrek revision (this information is at the top of
the title screen)
* where you obtained your copy from
* a description of your system
* your full name and address

program you can reach me via the )(evious BBS system (300/1200/
2400/9600-HST, 8N1) at 508-875-3618 or 617-449-7322. Leave a
C)omment to the sysop to reach me. )(evious is the official
support BBS for all my software and the latest versions are
always available for downloading there. )(evious is also a
member of RelayNet so if you use a local BBS that is also on
RelayNet you can mail me by sending a routed message to node
XEVIOUS. The Shareware conference is the preferred place to
do this.

I'm also available through CompuServe's mail system. Send mail

║ EGATREK QUICK START ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

If you're already familiar with this type of game and just need
enough information to get started, here it is...

Start up the game from DOS command level by typing "TREK".

When the title screen comes up hit any key to go on.

You will first be asked if you want a briefing or not.
Your choice...

The "command level" you select determines the difficulty of the
game. Unless you've never played this type of game before skip
level 1 and possibly level 2.

Once the game starts up, use F1 to view the command list as
needed.

║ BRIEFING ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

The Organian Peace Treaty of 3199.5 has collapsed and the
Federation is now at war with the Klingon Empire. As a result, a
Klingon invasion fleet is now present in parts of Federation
territory. A large number of Klingon cruisers, a few command
vessels and a Klingon starbase have been observed. The Romulan
Star Empire has joined the hostilities though their presence is
rather limited. It is possible that you will run into their
ships when near Romulan territory, though their actions in
response to your contact are unpredictable.

You will be in command of the Constitution Class Heavy Cruiser
U.S.S. ENTERPRISE, naval construction contract number NCC-1701.
It is fully battle ready and contains 430 officers and crew
members.

Your mission as commander of the Enterprise is to secure a 64
quadrant section of the galaxy as quickly as possible. You will
have to destroy any Klingon vessels you find, including normal
Klingon battle cruisers, command vessels and possibly other types
as well. Depending on the command level (your military rank)
that you enter when starting you will be given a more or less
difficult section. In general, higher levels must contend with
more enemy ships and with more abilities and phenomena in the
enemy. Success in your mission may earn you a promotion to a
higher rank.

Ranks are as follows:

Level Number Name of Rank
------------ ------------
1 Lieutenant Commander
2 Commander
3 Captain
4 Commodore
5 Admiral

Any officer in command of a ship may be referred to as captain
regardless of his actual rank.

The Enterprise has a cruising speed of up to warp factor 6, and
is allowed warp 8 in emergencies. The main engines are for
moving between quadrants of the galaxy. Beware of excessive
speed as damage to the engines is a possible result. Within a
quadrant, you have the use of impulse engines. If your main
engines are damaged your maximum warp speed will be lower than
normal. Travel at warp speeds with the shields raised requires
double the normal amount of energy.

All energy is provided by the Matter/Anti-Matter Converter
(M/A-M). The energy conversion system is normally adequate to
supply all needed power for many years of operation. However,
war with the Klingons is hardly normal operations. Because the
ship is moving more often than normal and using a great deal of
energy to fire phasers and provide shielding you will most likely
be using energy faster than you can regenerate it. The M/A-M
will supply 400 units of energy per stardate when working at
100%.

The ship is provided with two types of scanners. The short range
scanners show you everything in your current quadrant. Because
of their importance they continue scanning at all times and the
display is always available and up to date. The most important
thing you will see is, of course, Klingon ships of which there
are several types. Standard Klingon battleships will display in
light blue, command ships in red, scout ships in purple and
supply ships in green.

Your long range scanners show what is in adjacent quadrants and
thus are very useful for planning your movements. The ships
computer keeps a record of all past scans and this galaxy chart
is shown at all times unless the computer is damaged. Damage
to the scanners will affect their performance of course. A
small amount of damage will prevent them from seeing smaller
objects (including, unfortunately, Klingons) but they may still
be able to see stars. If damage becomes too severe they will
fail to work at all.

The long range display is numerical; the three digit number for
each quadrant represents the number of Klingons, type of
Federation base, and number of stars (respectively) that the
scanners have found. Quadrants containing Klingons are
highlighted in red. Bases are highlighted in orange and the
number indicates base type (1 is a StarBase, 2 a research
station and 3 a supply depot). Quadrants with supernovas cause
the scanners to overload and display all 9's.

You also receive information through the main viewer. This
display alternates between a view from outside the ship and a
graphical display of some ship function. When looking outside
the ship the viewer always looks in the direction of whatever
enemy ship is closest to your ship. The view includes an
identification of the object and its relative distance and
direction from the ship. Directions are based on 0 degrees being
directly to the right as seen on scanner displays.

The graphical displays appearing on the viewer can be more or
less useful depending on what's currently going on. Some of the
displays are not of much use to a ships commander however.

You will constantly be receiving communications from both inside
and outside your ship. Each message will include the ships
department that originated it. It is important that you pay
attention to all incoming messages. Up to four messages can be
displayed on your command console at a time. Each new message
will overwrite the oldest existing message or you can acknowledge
one or all messages and so leave space for new ones.

A heavy cruiser has two major weapons available, photon torpedos
(PhoTorps) and phasers. Torpedos are very effective at close
range, with a single torpedo being capable of destroying a
standard Klingon ship. However, you are limited in the number of
torpedos you can carry and they can only be replenished at a
StarBase or supply station. At longer distances they are less
effective and their accuracy is also thrown off when fired with
your shields raised.

Phasers are your general purpose weapon. The damage phasers do
is highly influenced by distance to the target. There are two
gauges that monitor phaser performance. You should watch the
phaser temperature gauge when firing to prevent overheating. The
phaser effectiveness gauge shows how well the phasers are
working. Phaser effectiveness goes down due to excess heat and
due to damage from enemy fire.

The ship is capable of repulsing enemy fire through the use of
its shields. When the shields are raised and at 100% energy no
enemy fire will penetrate them; the only effect will be that
energy will drain from the shields. It is thus to your advantage
to have shields raised when in direct battle. Once enemy fire
starts to penetrate the shields main energy is lost and ships
systems may be damaged. Raising the shields draws a small amount
of energy from the main energy banks so you do not want to raise
the shields needlessly. Lowering shields causes no energy
change. Because the shields affect the performance of other
ships systems their correct usage is very important to the
success of your mission.

The Enterprise was originally used for exploration and is well
suited for this purpose. Obviously, with the Federation under
attack there is no time for normal exploration at the present.
However, there are planets in the galaxy that may contain the
dilithium crystals used to power the ship and it is worth
exploring these planets for emergency crystal supplies. Note,
though, that Federation regulations prohibit the use of raw
dilithium except in extreme emergencies; your shields must be
under 50% and main energy under 20%.

There are several types of Federation bases in space. A StarBase
is the most useful because you can replenish all ships supplies
there. Supply stations can provide life support supplies and
photon torpedos. Research stations can provide only life support
supplies. You are responsible for the protection of all bases in
your designated area.

During warfare many of the ships systems may be damaged. The
effects of damage on your mission can vary greatly depending on
what systems are affected:

M/A-M Converter: The Matter/Anti-Matter converter generates
energy for the ship at a rate of 400 units/day times percentage
of repair.
Shields: The shields percentage of repair indicates how
efficiently the shield generators can convert the energy
available in the shield system into actual shielding of the ship.
Warp Engines: The warp engines are virtually impossible to
destroy completely, but their level of damage affects the maximum
possible warp speed. The maximum warp speed is approximately
warp 1 plus 0.09 times percentage of repair.
Impulse Engines: Impulse engines are much simpler than warp
engines; they either work or they don't. When they are at less
than 50% they simply stop functioning.
Phasers: Phaser percentage of repair is a direct indication of
what percentage of energy is converted to destructive force at
the point of impact. In other words, for a given level of phaser
energy, 100% working phasers will do twice the damage of 50%
working phasers.
PhoTorp Tubes: Like impulse engines, photorp tubes either work or
they don't. At 100% there are three function tubes, 67-99% only
two tubes work and 34-66% only one.
Short Range Scanners: Short range scanners lose resolution when
they are damaged. Above 90% they are fully functional, but below
90% they are unable to detect anything smaller than a star.
Below 50% they do not function at all.
Long Range Scanners: Long range scanners also lose resolution
when damaged. When less than 100% repaired they can no longer
detect enemy ships. Below 50% they are not functional.
Computer: A modern starship is highly computerized, so loss of
computer function affects a number of things. Portions of the
ships charts can be lost if the computer is sufficiently damaged
and can only be recovered by re-scanning. Automatic navigation
requires the computer to be 100% repaired. Charts cannot be
viewed unless the computer is 100%.
Life Support: Life support systems must be 100% to generate food
and oxygen needed to sustain life. Without a functioning life
support system the ship can last only two days on reserves.
Transporter: The transporter must be at 100% to be used.
Shuttlecraft: The shuttlecraft must be at 100% to be used.

When your mission ends, one way or another, you'll receive a
detailed evaluation of your performance from headquarters. If
you get one of the top two scores for your command level, your
name will be entered in the hall of fame. If you wish to delete
the hall of fame simply delete the file trek.scr.

╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ COMMANDS ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

To start the game, enter "trek" from the DOS prompt. If you do
not want sound during the game, enter "trek -n"; note that the
space before the dash is required.

The following is a list of commands and their description. Most
commands can be abbreviated to just their first letter. Use the
"HELP" command at any time to get the list of commands and their
abbreviations.

A#:
To acknowledge a message you should enter the letter A
immediately followed by the number of the message you wish
to acknowledge, i.e. A2. Messages are numbered from 1 to 4
going from top to bottom. To acknowledge all messages enter
just A without a number.

DOCK:
You will need to visit StarBases often to refuel your ship
as well as to make repairs. When you are in a sector
directly adjacent to a StarBase, issue this command. You
can also dock at Research Stations and Supply Bases, but
they cannot provide everything that a StarBase can. When
docked at a StarBase its shields will protect your ship from
enemy phasers.

ENERGY:
Energy is used by a number of different systems aboard the
ship and you can use this command to move energy between
systems as needed. It will also show you the exact energy
levels of all systems.

FIX:
Engineering has a certain number of crewmen available to do
repairs on damaged systems and they normally divide their
time evenly among all damaged systems. Since some systems
are more important than others you can use this command to
concentrate repairs on one system at the expense of other
systems. When the system you selected is repaired, repair
work will automatically be divided AMONG all damaged
systems once again.

In addition, you will be asked if you want to spend time
just making repairs. In space, repairs will take place no
faster than normal. If docked at a StarBase you can use
their facilities to speed repairs.

Relative repair speeds are as follows:

1x Normal repairs, work evenly divided AMONG systems
2.5x Normal repairs while docked at a starbase
3x Repairing only a selected system
5x Repairing a selected system while docked at a starbase

HAIL:
Use this command to hail a StarBase. If none is close by,
it will take some time to receive a reply.

HELP:
Use this command to get a list of all available commands and
their abbreviations.

INFO:
This command allows you to get information about the enemy
ships in the present quadrant from the computer. The
display will show the ship type, location, distance and
heading from you, and the condition of its shields.

LAND:
If you are orbiting a planet which has something of
interest on it you can use this command to land on the
planet. You have the option of using the transporter or
shuttlecraft to reach the planet. Normally the transporter
is the better choice since the shuttlecraft takes 0.2
stardays to make the round trip whereas the transporter is
virtually instantaneous.

To use this command, you must first successfully use the
ORBIT command.

MAX:
This command diverts the maximum possible amount of power
to the ship's main shields. You can do the same thing with
the E)nergy command by transferring power to the shields
until they are at 2500. This command is a quick way to
make sure that your shields are at full strength.

MOVE:
This ship is quite sophisticated, so getting from one place
to another requires only that you specify where you want to
go. The galaxy is divided into 64 quadrants and each
quadrant is divided into 64 sectors. You need only to
specify the quadrant and sector you wish to move to; for
example 6,2,3,5 moves you to quadrant 6,2 sector 3,5.
Vertical coordinates are always entered first. To use
impulse power to move within a quadrant specify only the
sector you wish to move to (i.e. 3,5).

If the navigation computer is damaged, however, you will
have to calculate movements manually. You will be asked
first for a DeltaX (vertical) movement which can be
negative, positive or zero. The number before the decimal
point is the number of quadrants to move, and the number
after the decimal point the number of sectors. Both digits
must be in the range 0 to 7. The DeltaY (horizontal)
movement works the same way. For example, if you want to
move one quadrant down and two quadrants plus two sectors
left (i.e., from 1,8,1,8 to 2,6,1,6) DeltaX would be 1.0
and DeltaY would be -2.2. If you prefer using this method
even when the computer is functional, enter just an "M" when
asked for the coordinates and the computer will switch
movement entry to manual.

If you prefer, you can enter the move coordinates without
anything separating them. For example, 6,2,3,5 is
equivalent to 6235 and 3,5 is equivalent to 35. When using
the long form, you can use whatever is most convenient for
separators between the numbers.

For an even more abbreviated way of entering move
coordinates, enter them right on the initial command line
along with the "M". For example, use m6235 for quadrant 6,2
sector 3,5 or use m35 to move to sector 3,5 within the
current quadrant. When using this method do not use any
spaces, commas, etc. to separate the "m" and the coordinate
numbers.

MSGS:
Often during a heated battle messages will come for you so
fast that it's possible to miss some of them. You can use
this command to review the most recent messages that have
appeared.

ORBIT:
Use this command to enter a standard orbit around a planet.
This will allow the planet to be scanned for the presence of
dilithium crystals and other things. Once in orbit, you can
use the LAND command to visit the planet surface.

PHASERS:
Use this command to fire the phaser banks. The phaser
control officer will request instructions on firing at each
enemy vessel in the quadrant.

QUIT:
Use this command to quit the game. You can also save a game
before you quit; see the SAVE command.

RAY:
This command fires the experimental death ray. This is a
very powerful weapon that will destroy every enemy ship in
the whole quadrant...if it works. If it doesn't work,
there's no telling what may happen, since the technology is
not yet completely understood.

REPAIR:
This command is a request to engineering to provide the
state of repair of all ship systems. Any systems that are
damaged will include an estimated time to repair.

SAVE:
You can save your game so that you can come back and
continue it later. After saving, the game continues until
you give the quit command. You can only restore a saved
game when first starting up; you will be asked if you want
to restore a saved game right after you are asked if you
want a briefing. You select the name of the file that is to
contain the saved game information. Any valid MS-DOS file
name can be used; just hit to use the default name
"trek.sav".

SELF:
If the situation becomes hopeless, use this command to self-
destruct. With any luck, you will at least take a few
Klingons along with you.

SHUP:
This command raises the shields. Engineering will
acknowledge when the shields are up, and the image of the
ship on the short range scanner will change to yellow. You
can also use the up arrow key to issue this command.

SHDN:
This command lowers the shields. Engineering will
acknowledge, and the image of the ship on the short range
scanner will return to white. You can also use the down
arrow key for this command.

SND:
Use this command at any time during the game to toggle sound
on and off. A message will flash briefly on the screen
acknowledging the command.

TORPEDO:
You have three torpedo tubes available. The torpedo control
officer will request instructions on the number of torpedos
to fire and the sectors to fire them at.

USE:
Any miscellaneous objects that you find during the game,
such as dilithium crystals mined from planets, can be used
with this command.

LOAD:
Once you have crystals on board, you can load them into the ships
energy system. Because of the risk of using raw crystals, Star
Fleet regulations prohibit this except for dire emergencies.

WARP:
Use this command to inform engineering of the warp speed you
require from the engines when moving between quadrants.
Invalid warp speeds will be ignored.

If you wish, you can include the warp factor on the command
line. For example, enter w5.2 to set the warp factor to
5.2.

BOSS:
Argh! The boss is coming, and he's going to catch you
playing games again. Hit Shift-F1 and you shell to MS-DOS.
You can now do simple MS-DOS commands, but be careful that
you do not run anything that changes the screen mode as
when you return to EGATrek you must still be in graphics
mode to be able to continue the game. Simple commands like
DIR should work fine. When you're ready to return to the
game, type 'EXIT'. (If you *are* the boss, you didn't see
this command; it's hidden by a Romulan cloaking device.)
