I just found NetTrek 2.0 on a ComputerLand Macintosh.  Is this the release
version?  From the pictures in MacWorld, it looks like the release version
is in color.  I don't think this 2.0 version is in color, but it looks to
be a vast improvement over 1.0.  There is a computer ship when no other
"TREKKERS" are in the galaxy and the number of computer ships steadily
increases as you decimate them.  Menus and command keys have been added
and removed.  No longer can you accelerate then hit <command-j> to jump
solar systems.  Also, the feature I always thought of as "Warp engines",
accelerating then hitting full stop then changing direction to accelerate
very quickly, has been removed.  Some new sounds have been added to the old
and they work on the Mac II,IIx,IIcx.  If this isn't the release version
(which is what I believe, then is this shareware or was this one stolen
like the last version?), when is the release version going to be available?
I call MacConnection about every two weeks, but to no avail.  If it is OK with
the author (Randy Carr(?)) I could email this or post it for all the NetTrek
fans.  Also, what is the shareware fee and what is the address to send it to
(assuming, of course, that it is shareware)?
