 Here are Tom Almy's changes:
 
-   Compared to original version, I've changed the "help" command to
-   "call" and the "terminate" command to "quit" to better match
-   user expectations. The DECUS version apparently made those changes
-   as well as changing "freeze" to "save". However I like "freeze".
-   (Both "freeze" and "save" work in SST2K.)
-
-   When I got a later version of Super Star Trek that I was converting
-   from, I added the emexit command.
-
-   That later version also mentions srscan and lrscan working when
-   docked (using the starbase's scanners), so I made some changes here
-   to do this (and indicating that fact to the player), and then realized
-   the base would have a subspace radio as well -- doing a Chart when docked
-   updates the star chart, and all radio reports will be heard. The Dock
-   command will also give a report if a base is under attack.

-   Klingon commander movements are no longer reported if long-range 
-   sensors are damaged.

-   1. Better base positioning at startup.
+   In early 1997, I got the bright idea to look for references to
+   "Super Star Trek" on the World Wide Web. There weren't many hits,
+   but there was one that came up with 1979 Fortran sources! This
+   version had a few additional features that mine didn't have,
+   however mine had some feature it didn't have. So I merged its
+   features that I liked. I also took a peek at the DECUS version (a
+   port, less sources, to the PDP-10), and some other variations.

+   1, Compared to the original UT version, I've changed the "help" command to

+
+   2. The experimental deathray originally had only a 5% chance of
+      success, but could be used repeatedly. I guess after a couple
+      years of use, it was less "experimental" because the 1979
+      version had a 70% success rate. However it was prone to breaking
+      after use. I upgraded the deathray, but kept the original set of
+      failure modes (great humor!).  (Now controlled by OPTION_DEATHRAY
+      and turned off if game type is "plain".)
 
-   2. Deathray improvement (but keeping original failure alternatives).
+   3. The 1979 version also mentions srscan and lrscan working when
