Hi Jeff! Glad to meet ya...
I've been a Stars! fan for many years. I was a co-sysop back in the "per internet" days of the 386, and the local BBS. We had several DOS machines, running Desqview and Synchronet BBS software. We setup our first Windows machine on the LAN, just so we could host Stsrs! games.
I lost contact with the Stars! community for a few years, but I've been back for a while now. I'm currently hosting my 6th game here, and plan to host several more, as long as Ron will continue to give me slots...
I've been a programmer since 1968, mostly mainframe Assembly and some Cobol. I worked for several years in the "online" business, then many more doing typesetting. My first home machine was the Atari 800. It used the same 6502 CPU as the Apple II, came with 64K, a SSSD floppy, a serious computer! I did 6502 assembly for a few years, then got my first x86 box. Wrote lots of 16 bit x86 assembly programs over the years. I'm currently playing with Win32 API programming, in 32 bit x86 assem. I guess you can say that I like assembly language.
Anyway, I see in another post that you've been working on Stars! again recently. I'm just wondering if you share with us what you have in mind. Can we expect a new patch, or a new version? Do you plan to address any of the known bugs or "features"?
I know many here are interested in SN, but speaking for myself, I'm more interested in any plans for the "older" version.
Also, check out my brand new Stars! web site. It's a mess now, but I'll be working on it this weekend, so don't be surprised if it looks "funky" from time to time...
