About a year ago, a version of nettrek was submitted to be posted to comp.binaries.mac, but the author wrote stating that the version in question was full of bugs, and requesting that I not post it. I understood that he had/was trying to release it as a commercial product. Has anyone seen it? In any case, I would assume that as a commercial product, he'd support the latest and greatest Mac hardware. -- Roger L. Long dhw68k!bytebug

I don't know about any new versions of NetTrek, but what I do know is that I sent the author a check for the $25 he requested. Along with this check I asked several questions about the game and requested the updated version promised in the dialogue box. I have yet to hear anything from the author, but my check was cashed...3 months later. I support shareware, but for $25 you would at least think that purchasers would get a notification of new versions, If not the disks themselves.

After a grueling 2 years of negotiation with lots of publishers, I've have reached an agreement with PBI Software to distribute the game. It will be known as NetTrek 2.0 and be both single and multi-player. Oh yes, and will run on the Mac II in color and under multi-finder, and of course, not be copy protected! Questions?

I've been playing NetTrek for at least a year. This summer I bought the 'Real' version at the MacWorld in Boston. First- one complaint. I don't know if there is some copyright problem that Randy had to avoid, but the new space-shuttle-like Terran ships are no substitute for the Real Federation starship. My problem, though, is that I would like to be able to play across campus, but each dorm is its own Appletalk zone. Is there any way to 'change' the zone you're recognized in? Also, if Randy Carr (the game 's creator) is out there- Is there any way to make to program search for other trekkers across zones? I'm very macintosh literate except where it comes to appletalk networks, so I would appreciate any mail that might help. Thanks, James.Osborne@mac.dartmouth.edu

According to the latest Technotes I received from Apple the new AppleTalk 2.0 will allow you to designate which zone you wish to belong to. <<BB>> --- * Via ProDoor 3.1aR
