Joining the Klingons against the +Federation are the members of the Romulan Star Empire. As commander +of the Starship U.S.S. Enterprise, your job is to wipe out the Klingon +invasion fleet and make the galaxy safe for democracy. + +This is one of the great early classic computer games from the +1970s and still has a remarkable amount of play value. Run +sst in a terminal window to start it. Typing +'comands' at the prompt will list all commands; help is available for +each one individually as well. Full documentation is browseable. On +systems where /usr/share/doc/sst/ is a legal +filename, it will probably be installed there as well. + +There is one option -t, which forces the original pure-tty mode. +Normally sst tries to come up in full-screen mode that assumes it is +running on a cursor-addressable terminal or terminal emulator. + +Input tokens for the setup prompts will be read from the +remainder of the command line before standard input. Thus, for +example, you can invoke the program as + + +sst regular medium good fancy + + +to start a regular medium game as a good player in 'fancy' +mode (all features enabled). + + +AUTHORS +Super Star Trek was designed and written by David Matuszek, Paul +Reynolds, and Don Smith in the 1970s. It was resurrected by Tom Almy. +The screen-oriented interface is by Stas Sergeev. This version has +been cleaned up and documented by Eric S. Raymond +esr@snark.thyrsus.com.
