Simple Strategy
.sp
.PP
If you are a beginner, a simple strategy to follow is:
fight only one attacker;
pursue him (code 14) at warp factor one;
lock on all phasers (code 3);
continuously take position reports (code 12) and watch his range;
when he gets within 1000M, fire all phasers (code 1) and
keep on firing when he is in range;
When the enemy is out of range, take damage reports and scans
of the enemy (codes 17 and 18).

.PP
After a few trial games using the above strategy, you will
want to become as efficient as the enemy at firing photon
torpedos.
Finally, when you master launching antimatter probes, you
can designate more than one attacker.

Trek73's History
.sp
.PP
Trek73 was programmed on a Hewlett-Packard 2000C system by
William K. Char, Perry Lee, and Dan Gee.
In January 1973, Mr. Char started with a few ideas and five
months later, in May, introduced $SPACE, his first version.
.sp
.PP
Space had only 14 commands and comprised one 10K program.
Response was so great that new ideas flooded in and in June,
work on Trek73 was begun.
Over 70 recordings of past shows were reviewed to
reconstruct dialogue and vessels.
On October 8, 1973, Trek73 was introduced.

In 1984, Dave Pare at University of California at San Diego and Chris
Williams at the University of California at Berkeley independently
translated the BASIC code into C to run under BSD UNIX.\**

In April 1985, Jeff Okamoto and Peter Yee, both
at the University of California at Berkeley combined the two
versions into one, fixing bugs and adding new commands and concepts.
