Galactic Tracker, version 3.0, Released April 27, 1995
Copyright (C) 1995 Karl Eric Beisel
Important Information
Before you can run anything, you need the Visual Basic 3.0 runtime DLL,
VBRUN300.DLL, which you should place in your Windows\System directory. If
you need this file, you can download it from many BBSs, and Compuserve's
Microsoft forum. Note that Galactic Tracker 2.01 and earlier required
version 2.0 of the DLL (VBRUN200.DLL). Version 3.0 requires version 3.0
of the DLL.
Version 3.0 Information:
(*) There is no Merge database feature in this version. Sorry, but I just
did not have time to finish it. Instead, get your allies' RST files
and load them as one of the players in the Game Properties dialog.
Also, this program took forever to complete, since I don't have a lot
of time to devote to this. I didn't get much chance to really test it
out and debug everything... I expect you'll encounter bugs. Please
report them if you do. Otherwise, please enjoy!
(1) Documentation:
Complete documentation for Galactic Tracker is in GALTRAK.HLP. You
can open this help file by clicking on Galactic Tracker's Help/Contents
menu, or by pressing F1 at any time in the program.
Release History is available in GALTRAK.HLP.
(2) Files:
The original Galactic Tracker archive contains the following files:
galtrak.exe Main executable
galtrak.hlp Help file (Documentation)
cmdialog.vbx Common Dialog box extension
file_id.diz File description
readme.txt This ReadMe file
register.txt Order form for Galactic Tracker
(3) Upgrading from older versions of Galactic Tracker/Galactic Spy:
All registered users of Galactic Tracker/Galactic Spy 1.x may use the
same registration codes to register Galactic Tracker 3.0. Version
3.0 databases are NOT compatible with older 1.x and 2.x databases.
You will need to start a new database from scratch.
Galactic Tracker 3.0 saves databases differently than in previous
versions. It uses a document-style approach used by most Windows
applications. Galactic Tracker 3.0 saves game information in files
with the extension *.GTD. Galactic Tracker settings are stored in
the GTD files as well. For more information, see Galactic Tracker
Help.
