Short: Star Trek Database, V2.6 Author: Stefan.Osterburg@Student.Uni-Magdeburg.De (Stefan Osterburg) Uploader: Stefan.Osterburg@Student.Uni-Magdeburg,De (Stefan Osterburg) Version: 2.6 Type: biz/dbase Replaces: biz/dbase/Trekkie.* Trekkie is a database, that offers the possibility to manage all the Star Trek episodes. Apart from collecting the usual data such as Episodetitle, -number, Stardate and so on, it facilitates to build a kind of "Who is Who" by managing the "Maker"-information. Moreover there is a - admittedly simple - video database included. The program requires Kickstart/Workbench 3.0, a 68020 CPU, and at least 2 MB RAM. A complete datafile may easily make the program to require 2MB and more RAM at runtime. Look out for the latest version of a datafile on the Aminet under biz/dbase/TrekkieData.lha or at Trekkie's homepage (see below). Trekkie is © 1996 by Stefan Osterburg.

Not that it would make much sense to use the program on an Amiga 500 with 7Mhz. But since I have discovered that with UAE, the Un*x Amiga Emulator, you can sort of use Trekkie on a WinDoze PC (provided you have a really faaaaast processor) I thought it couldn't hurt. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 14200 7990 43.7% 13-Jan-97 17:24:24 +ConvertData 37 27 27.0% 19-Jul-96 17:30:14 +default.msk 428 78 81.7% 19-Jul-96 17:30:42 +default.prt 730 50 93.1% 04-Aug-96 21:51:42 +default.sel 264 29 89.0% 15-Nov-95 16:30:48 +trekkie.font 2104 976 53.6% 25-Feb-95 16:02:10 +9f 36213 12706 64.9% 11-Feb-97 17:39:38 +Trekkie.guide 6613 2858 56.7% 11-Feb-97 17:34:48 +Trekkie.readme 1432 860 39.9% 11-Feb-97 17:40:58 +ConvertData.info 418 239 42.8% 11-Feb-97 17:14:46 +ConvertData.readme 1856 1335 28.0% 11-Feb-97 17:40:58 +ConvertData.readme.info 20 20 0.0% 19-Jul-96 17:29:18 +default.srt 136656 60918 55.4% 11-Feb-97 17:36:24 +Trekkie 1857 1335 28.1% 11-Feb-97 17:40:58 +Trekkie.guide.info 1743 566 67.5% 11-Feb-97 17:40:58 +Trekkie.info 1233 740 39.9% 11-Feb-97 17:40:58 Trekkie.info 1856 1333 28.1% 11-Feb-97 17:40:58 +Trekkie.readme.info -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 207660 92060 55.6% 12-Feb-97 15:00:34 17 files
