Xtrek is a game based on startrek however thats where the similarity ends, it is
a multiuser game that is played over a LAN running TCP/IP, with X displays for
each player can have a various ship type which have different advantage/
disadvantages some are faster / or more armoured etc. The best why to find out is
to play.

The final think is that xtrek has been mostly replaced with netrek, a very similar
game however this is played over internet and so in some respects is cut down
however as you are playing with more people it is more tactile (I think so)
if you would like help on how to start playing netrek (and are on internet) please
mail me and I will forward information on how to play. Basically netrek is a
client/server game so you need a client program (display) to run on your machine
and have to know where to connect to to play, good news is there is a server in
france, + many other s in europe (I play in the uk surprise!)

		Have fun
