-TREK SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
-.sp 2
-.pp
-This document describes all sorts of nifty things
-you should know
-before you start to muck around
-with the trek source code.
-Please read them carefully.
-.s1
-MAINTENANCE
-.s2
-There are a number of shell files
-which you may use to maintain the system.
-"Prtrek" produces a copy of the source code.
-It pipes its output to lpr
-and runs in background.
-"Comp" compiles up to nine source modules
-and leaves them in .o files.
-"Compile" is the same as "comp"
-except that it loads after compiling.
-If stated without any arguments,
-it loads from .o files.
-"Compall" compiles all the .c files
-into .o files,
-but does not load.
-It redirects its output to the file "output".
-To recompile the entire system,
-type
-.ti +8
-compall
-.ti +8
-compile
-.br
-.s2
-Main.c contains a variable called "Mother".
-This is initialized to the result of the
-"getuid()" call for the maintainer of trek
-at your installation.
-Only Mother is allowed to set trace flags
-and run the game at other than the default priority.
-.s2
-Speaking of priorities,
-trek eats up a lot of system resources.
-Hence, it normally runs at a very low priority.
-This makes it almost impossible to play
-if the system is loaded.
-However,
-the -pN flag sets the priority to N,
-which makes it possible to debug
-when the system is loaded.
-The default priority is set by a #define of
-PRIO,
-which is set to 10 in the default system.
-.s2
-Trace information is provided
-which may be useful in debugging things in the system.
-If you are in a bad way for space,
-comment out the #define xTRACE
-which appears in trek.h.
-This will cause the trace stuff to not occur
-in the object.
-.s2
-The version of trek released to you
-is compiled with the -f flag (for no floating point)
-and should work without problems on your machine.
-You can edit out the -f flag
-in "compile" if you have floating point hardware
-on your machine
-so that it will take less space.
-.s1
-THE PORTABLE C LIBRARY
-.pp
-The portable C library was used
-to do I/O in trek.
-Unfortunately,
-the version which we had at Berkeley
-had a number of small bugs
-which caused trek to do bad things at times.
-For some unknown reason
-(temporary insanity perhaps)
-I rewrote the portable C library.
-This version is much smaller than the old version
-and has cleaner code.
-It also works right
-(???).
-However, there are a few minor differences
-which you should be aware of.
-.s2
-Scanf no longer ignores the noise characters "\\n",
-"\\t", and space in the format string;
-i.e.,
-these characters now require a match
-in the input stream.
-.s2
-A variable
-f_log
-has been added
-which is the file descriptor
-of a "log" file.
-If f_log is greater than zero
-a copy of everything read from
-the standard input
-and written to
-the standard output
-is written in the file f_log.
-.s1
-DISCLAIMERS
-.s2
-Frankly,
-I am getting pretty sick of playing this game.
-Hence,
-the version which you get may have several bugs
-in it;
-I freely admit
-that it is probably buggier
-than some previous versions.
-Sorry about that.
-.s2
-Along with being buggy,
-the game never had quite everything implemented
-that was originally intended.
-If you see things that look weird,
-that may be why.
-There are even some features which I have taken out
-(like ghost starsystems)
-upon deciding that I didn't have the energy
-to implement them correctly.
-.s1
-REQUESTS
-.pp
-There are several things that I would like to ask of anyone
-who does work on the source code.
-.s2
-Please let me know of any bugs which you find
-in the code,
-and any fixes which you may have.
-Other copies will probably be going out to other people later,
-and it would be nice if those copies where less buggy.
-Also,
-I would be interested in hearing about any
-enhancements of the game which you might install.
-.s2
-Please note that I have a distinct coding style.
-I feel that it is cleaner
-and easier to read than a more
-casual style.
-If possible,
-please stick to it,
-especially if you end up sending tapes back to me.
-This goes along with my whole belief in clean code:
-I ask you to please avoid obscure code
-whenever possible.
-If you throw some in,
-please don't let me see it.
-It just depresses me.
-.s2
-Unfortunately,
-the game is huge.
-There are many neat things
-which could go in,
-if there were only enough space.
-However,
-I have specifically not gone to separated I/D
-space.
-The main reason is that I would like future versions
-of the game
-to be 11/40 compatible.
-.s1
-SUGGESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE
-.pp
-If you happen to have more energy than I do,
-you may want to examine the following areas.
-These are things that I may get to,
-but don't hold your breath.
-.s2
-Frankly,
-making the portable C library work
-(even without bugs)
-was a bitch.
-I should have done the I/O in a more
-ad hoc manner.
-It is my intent to rewrite the I/O
-routines to bypass the portable C library entirely.
-.s2
-The routine "capture" is quite unclean.
-First, it should have a manner of selecting Klingons
-other than random,
-either selecting the most likely
-or asking the captain (probably best).
-It should either be fully implemented,
-which includes adding a "board" routine
-(half written,
-on some tapes as board.x)
-which sends a boarding party to forcefully
-take over the Klingon,
-or it should go out completely,
-which is probably what I will end up doing.
-When this happens,
-the transporter will go completely.
-It seems that the space may be better used
-for something which more directly enhances the game.
