- Short: Star Trek Database, German datafile
- Uploader: osterburg@fh-brandenburg.de (Stefan Osterburg)
- Author: osterburg@fh-brandenburg.de (Stefan Osterburg)
- Type: biz/dbase
- Replaces: biz/dbase/trekkie*
- Version: 2.0
-
- 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. To use the included
- datafile you must have a little more than 1.5MB free memory.
- Running it on a 68000 machine would probably have been a strain
- on nerves an coffee consum, that's why it requires at least an 68020
- processor.

- Acknolegements:
-
- Thanks to
- - my brother Matthias for designing the trekkie.font.
- - Philip Reynten Beta-Testing my new Release
- A Special Thank to
- - Ron C. Carman for his kind permission to use his terrific Star Trek
- Actors' Other Roles FAQ.
- Updates are monthly available on rec.arts.startrek.misc.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The program should hopefully be self-explaining, however here are some
- important things:
-
- - Before starting Trekkie you should copy the trekkie.font to your FONTS:
- drawer.
-
- - The Preferences are stored in the icon's tooltypes:
-
- SCREEN
- ------
- Defines the Screenmode. No matter how small the selected screen is,
- Trekkie opens a screen of at least 640x410 pixels. If the tooltype is
- not specified the program uses an EURO72 Productivity Screen.
- Valid values are:
- Euro72 : opens a Euro 72 Productivity Screen
- VGA : opens a Multiscan Productivity Screen
- PAL : opens a PAL Interlace Screen
- PAL NONLACE : opens a Pal HighRes (Autoscroll) Screen
- NTSC : opens a NTSC Interlace Screen
- NTSC NONLACE : opens a NTSC HighRes (Autoscroll) Screen
- DBLPAL : opens a DBLPAL flickerfree Screen
- DBLNTSC : opens a DBLNTSC flickerfree Screen
- $modeID : for modeID put the hexadecimal ID of any screenmode.
-
- DATA
- ----
- Specifies filename and path, of the data file loaded on startup.
-
- VIEW
- ----
- Specifies path, filename and possible parameters of the external picture
- view program.
-
-
- - The value for Rating can range from 0 to 99. Personally I use a range
- of 1 (extremely bad) to 18 (extremely good). That way the 0 remains
- reserved for entries, that have not yet been rated.
-
- - The settings for Selection-, Sort- and Listpattern can be saved.
- If default.??? is specified as filename (default.sel for selection
- pattern, default.srt for sort pattern, default.msk for list pattern)
- the corresponding settings are loaded as default on startup.
- Specifying f1.???, f2.???, f3.??? and so on makes it possible
- to easily load these settings by pressing the corresponding
- F-key in list- or editmode.
- All these settings can be saved at once. The appropriate name
- extensions are automatically added. To save the current settings
- as default you just have to enter "default" as filename.

- address.
