Well guys (and gals), this ought to perk up your morning. With the help
of Sunbane's sys. admin (Thanks Dan!), I've managed to get all of the
Imperial Sector UWPs that were available on the GEnie network put in
the TML Archive. If you look in ~ftp/pub/traveller/sectors, you'll see
compressed data files for the following sectors:
Alpha Crucis Delphi Gushemege Reft Sector Verge
Antares Deneb Hinterworlds RiftSpan Reach Vland
Core Diaspora Ley Solomani Rim
Corridor Empty Quarter Lishun Spica
Dagudashaag Fornast Massilia Spinward Marches
Daibei Glimmerdrift Old Expanses Trojan Reach
There is also a pair of programs in a single Tar file (ssv.tar.Z) in the
same directory. The first program is section.c. By filtering each of
the sector UWP files thru it, 16 subsector output files will be produced
(labelled sec_A thru sec_P). The second program is ssv.c. This X-Windows
based program allows you to view the subsector graphically in a high-res
window on your UN*X, allows you to add political/cultural/military borders
interactively, and allows you to print the modified subsector to an XImage
file (ssv.xwd) which is suitable for output to a laser printer (via the
MIT xpr utility). Both programs are written in C, and should run on
standard AT&T SysV UN*X.
Even if you don't have access to a UN*X platform, at least the sector
UWP files should prove useful.
As to the legality of disseminating these files, I got explicit permission
from Joe Fugate (of DGP) to make these files available to the TML. Since
he originally posted them to the GEnie Traveller library archives, he has
final authority over their disposition and he said, "No problem" (in so
many words :-)).
One final note. With the exception of (I think) 3 files (Deneb, Corridor,
and Massilia), all the data in these files is pre-shattered-Imperium.
This means that most of the allegiance codes will be wrong. Also, with
the exception of the 3 aforementioned files, most system names are absent.
Only 'Hi Pop' systems are named in the other 23 sector files.
Well, that's it. Here's all the data. Go nuts!
Later,
Mark F. Cook
