Personally, I don't think the transporters as envisioned by Star Trek are at all possible. I think you have to have a transmitter and receiver station on both ends to make it work. At best, the only way to justify the Trek transporters is to say they also have a transmitter and receiver system but the receiver works from a great distance. Yousuf Khan -- Yousuf J.
