Eric Stuyvesant is a new TMLer, and he sent me this nice description of
himself and his interests, so I thought I'd share it with the TML.

Relevant Information:
Eric Stuyvesant
[address removed]
Traveller interests include: CAT, TDR, Ship Design, etc.
Areas of Expertise: Atari ST, C, HP-?8 calculators, Postscript, awk, sed, *sh
Projects currently involved in (in various stages of completion):
Porting the various Traveller-utility software to the ST.
Creating generic RPG/Wargame database software to automate rule lookups,
with specific interest in Library Data, Charts & Tables, and Rules
for my favorite games (Notably Traveller/MT and Star Fleet Battles).
Eventually, this should have a portable C interface, as well as utility
programs to sort through the data in various ways. Could be used in
conjunction with sector/subsector viewers, character generators, ship
design programs, trade&commerce programs, etc. so that the data would
already be available, and all that would have to be ported to different
machines would be the user interface. I'm looking at gdbm, awk, curses,
and C to be the lowest common denominator here. I'm trying to find out
more about SGML to be the format to store data in.
Improving the currently available software to be more complete and useful.
I already have done a good deal of work on the trade&commerce program, and
I'm hoping to get ahold of the ship design program to play with.
I'd like to express my personal thanks to you, as list moderator, for taking
the time and effort to maintain the TML. All I can say is that if everyone
took the time to do something like the TML, the world would be a better place.
Also, don't be fooled by the generally low posting volume. There are
undoubtedly *many* lurkers out there who never directly subscribe for
whatever reason, but still follow the TML avidly.
