	I have already done something like this. I used a database
program to simulate the Data Library in traveller. It's pretty
easy, it just involes some looking up. And Everytime the player
wants to look up something. They use the computer to do so. The
computer is also tied into another one right by me. So I can change
the data at will. I've used the same program to simulate cyberspace
in cyberpunk games, that one I had less success with.
