 Ahhhhh, xtrek... I hacked that code to make it run on a vaxstation 3100, to
run under decwindows.

The true meaning of xtrek was to waste everything in the galaxy.  This game was
only marginally similar to the nettrek game.  It was originally written for X10
display systems and later converted to the X11 protocal.  
The Game:
	You  are the comander of your ship. (a little glyph that looked like one of
the enterprize, bird of prey,or  kingon war ship. 
	You could be one of 4 races: terran, romulan, Kilngon, or Orion.

Objective:
	Take over as many planets as you can.  planets have defences, fuel and
supplies.  But beware -- there are other beings in the universe (both alive and
computer controlled, that will try to take your presious planets away.

Enough of that.... the source used to be on expo, and I think it is still in
the archives at uunet (don't quote me on either of these)

This group was pretty boring when it started out.... the modern dance makes it
much mor interesting.  

Besides Xtank was a better game. In this one yo got to blow up ..........
