Archive contents:
simtrek.exe, egavga.bgi, litt.chr, sans.chr, goth.chr, trip.chr,
readme.1st, support.doc, and catalog.doc.

Known bugs:
1. The game sometimes locks-up when you exit while under fire. Exiting
at other times works fine.
2. SHOW TARGETS in the mission editor does not show the correct target
type for targets. It always shows target 1 as space, 2 as klingon,
etc. The target types are only DISPLAYED incorrectly. They actually
ARE what you set them to in the editor, even though it doesnt show
that when you select SHOW TARGETS. Targets WILL be of the correct
type and WILL behave correctly in a mission you create despite the
fact that the editor doesnt show their correct target type.

Having problems with the mouse ?
1. Make sure you are using a MICROSOFT compatable mouse.
2. If your mouse supports multiple emulation modes, make sure your mouse
is in microsoft emulation mode.
3. Make sure your mouse driver is loaded.
4. Some later versions of mouse drivers can cause "jerky" mouse motion.
Try an older version of the driver. We use Logitech v5.0 and
Qtronics v7.0 drivers for our development machines.
5. A flickering mouse can be caused by a slow processor and/or a slow
graphics card. We use 40Mhz 386 processors and Diamond Speedstar 24X
graphics cards in our development machines.
