NCC1701 is a faithful adaptation of the mainframe classic StarTrek updated for Windows 3.1 with graphic animation, an extensive help file for the newcomer, and remarkable ease of use lending itself to play with either mouse or keyboard. This beauty will make you feel like you're in command on the NCC-1701's Bridge.

To install NCC-1701 in Windows Version 3.1, put a disk with the unzipped files in drive A (or B), pull down File / Run ... in Program Manager, and type a:setup (or b:setup) into Command Line.

The setup program adds several DLL files to your WINDOWS Directory (only if they are not already there or are there in earlier versions), including the Visual Basic Run Library VBRUN100.DLL which allows you to run all software programmed in Visual Basic (including NCC-1701).

The setup program does NOT modify any INI files, or any other Windows files.

WINDOWS 3.0 Users .....

This version 1.00 of NCC-1701 requires

Windows Version 3.1

because it uses the TrueType Dingbats font shipped with version 3.1. If you install and use it with version 3.0 of Windows, the Short Run Scan will show different symbols for the ship, starbases, klingons and stars. Other than this symbology, NCC-1701 should be compatible with version 3.0 of Windows. The setup program checks for version 3.1 and will not install for version 3.0, but you can install for version 3.0 by placing all NCC1701.xxx files in a directory and pulling down File / Properties... in Program Manager to install it manually. In order to run, NCC-1701, like all Visual Basic programs, requires that you have the VBRUN100.DLL file in your WINDOWS directory. This file is on our disk as VBRUN100.DL_, and you should copy it to your WINDOWS directory and rename it to VBRUN100.DLL if you do not already have the file there.

I hope you enjoy ... and Register!!
