Distant binary stars may also form; in these systems one of the planets is
replaced by a star. Their orbits are shown as red arcs, to distinguish them
from the world types.
The generation procedure (option "G" from the main menu) produces these
results; the sort of data that could be obtained by long-range observation.
It's fairly fast. If the solar systems that are produced look boring,
run this procedure again until you are satisfied.
Once you have a sector you like, choose the "save" option (menu choice "S").
You'll be asked for a file name; type in a maximum of eight letters, preceded
by the drive letter if you're not using the default drive. If you don't enter
a name, the program will use the file name "UNNAMED". Menu option "L" reloads
saved sectors. It also uses the default "UNNAMED" if you don't enter a file
name, and looks for a documentation file with the same first name (for
example, SAMPLE.DOC for SAMPLE.SEC). Text files must be no more than 23 lines,
78 columns, eg Sidekick files.
Menu option "V" lets you take a look at your sector, using cursor keys to move
between systems and ENTER to exit. This option still only produces the sort of
data that might be obtained by long-range observation.
