At the time of this writing, it looks as though Paradox of Arkansas BBS has breathed its last. After two lightning strikes which caused major system damage, Fred Ayers has taken the system down. There are plans for Serial Connection to pick up the Fido hub duties for the Fort Smith area, but this may be a ways off. Best wishes to Fred Ayers, and good luck to Russ Koopman! A final caveat - the TNG and TOS LogBooks now have a synopsis of the upcoming "Star Trek: Generations." The synopsis is split into two halves, but both halves are near the ends of their respective files if you wish to avoid this information. The story outline which I summarized comes from a reliable source and was pretty detailed - yet, as always, the LogBook doesn't spoil all the surprises, but if you don't want to know, you might do well to steer clear of the ends of these files. And who knows, the powers that be may yet decide to take alternate courses of action where minute points of the story are concerned. The Babylon 5 Encyclopedia is still unfinished; with the upcoming release of the B5 Galactic Encyclopedia CD-ROM from Compton's, this idea may be abandoned altogether. I've been held up by several things, including laying the groundwork for a possible LogBook-based fanzine and a print version of the various LogBook files. ** Star Trek LogBook ** TNGLOGBK.TXT (205,826 bytes).....Next Generation LogBook......7Z, 18 June 1994 DSNLOGBK.TXT ( 61,648 bytes).....Deep Space Nine LogBook......2Z, 28 July 1994 TOSLOGBK.TXT (143,248 bytes).....Trek Classic LogBook.........3T, 18 June 1994 VOYLOGBK.TXT ( , bytes).....Voyager LogBook..................unavailable!

When quoting from this publication, please give proper credit to the author of the file from which you are quoting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * The Star Trek LogBook, the Babylon 5 Chronicle and the files comprising the BritSF LogBook Project are now published on a quarterly basis only. Tentative release date for the next edition is 29 October (but watch for announcements on Fidonet around that time for more information). The files comprising the LogBook/Chronicle will be released together until further notice. * The animated Classic Trek series, the various comic books, and the Pocket Books novels are neither covered nor mentioned herein; it simply would've taken too long, and I didn't have access to all of the material anyway. The same goes for original Blake's 7 and Doctor Who "New Adventures" stories, the Hitchhiker's Guide books and radio serials, and novelizations of Doctor Who or Red Dwarf stories. * The Trek movies, in this guide, are treated like additional episodes of their respective series. All episodes of all series covered by this publication are listed by order of broadcast, not order of production. * The general format of the episode guides in this publication is based on the "Doctor Who Programme Guide" and the "Doctor Who Terrestrial Index," both by Jean-Marc Lofficier. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <=-= THANKS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS =-=> My heartfelt and infinite thanks go out to: * Fred Ayers (Sysop of Paradox of Arkansas) * Russ Koopman (SysOp of Serial Connection) * Steve Prado (SysOp of Jackalope Junction) * Robert Heyman (star of JCC and discoverer of numerous articles, news clips and sundry other useful sources of neat information) * Joe Siegler, Cindy Hill, David Ewing, Dean Adams, Mark Holtz and Mike Brown (for unearthing and posting bits of obscure but infinitely helpful and interesting information - also, Mark's own impressive Star Trek List of Lists publication is VERY highly recommended!) * Dennis McCarthy (for still more fascinating information and seven years of memorable music) * Doug Deutsch, Ray Costa and all at GNP Crescendo Records (for putting me in touch with Dennis) * Shane Vaughn (for tech support - i.e., keeping the system this whole mess is written on up to date!) * Robert Parson (for turning me on to Babylon 5 and for forking over the wonderful Classic Trek Concordance - much appreciated, sir!) * Joe Siegler and Steve Quarrella (for importing Red Dwarf into Arkansas - my endless gratitude, guys!) * Joe Salemi and Joe Siegler (present and past Moderators of the FidoNet STTNG topic) * Ray Brown and Cindy Hill (Moderators of the Fido STDSN topic) * Lawrence Keifer (Moderator of the Fido ST:VOYAGER topic) * Mark Holtz again (who has begun feeding the LogBook into the TFDN) * Dave Thomer (yet another JCC-ite who once reminded me that Kirk sent landing parties and never once, in his career, uttered the words "away team") * ALL of the SysOps in the Ft. Smith area, plus SysOps across the country and around the world (for not only helping boost this file to international distribution, but also for endeavoring to further the hobby of modeming) * all the users who participate in the various Fido Star Trek echoes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * DISCLAIMERS * STAR TREK, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE, STAR TREK: VOYAGER and all related characters and placenames are the property of Paramount Pictures Incorporated.

The files constituting this publication are to be distributed solely in the public domain! The author makes no attempt - in using the names described herein - to supercede the copyrights of the respective copyright holders, nor are these files officially sanctioned, licensed, or endorsed by the shows' creators or producers. Another request I'd like to make to users and SysOps alike is that these files be kept TOGETHER. This goes especially for SysOps and users who relay files from one BBS to another. If you're not going to bother to keep them all in one ZIPfile for others to download, just delete it from your drive. I try to keep the file streamlined, and most of my legal disclaimers, and more important to me personally, my acknowledgements to those who help me continue the project, are now in this file only. I don't think this is too much to ask. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * DISTRIBUTION SOURCES * The updated LogBook/Chronicle file is made available on Serial Connection and Jackalope Junction on a quarterly basis. Release dates will be announced on FidoNet's Star Trek, Dr. Who and sci-fi-related conferences. The official filename format is STLBmmyy (mm = month, yy = year). The Serial Connection (501) 785-2408 1200-14,400 baud Jackalope Junction (501) 785-5381 1:3822/8 1200-16,800 HST Arsenal of Freedom (214) 271-5410 1:124/9006 1200-14,400 baud The Townehouse (513) 474-0729 1:2350/60 1200-14,400 baud The Itchy & Scratchy Show (916) 721-1701 1:203/1701.0 1200-14,400 v.32bis USS Gallifrey (306) 949-6032 1:140/1701 1200-14,400 HST/v32 All SysOps interested may have their systems listed here, provided your system carries this file most every time an update is released. Distribution site SysOps interested are reminded/warned that they will still have to call Serial Connection or Jackalope Junction for the file. You may choose to keep it online in the date-filename format, the old stand-by TREKLGBK filename, or whatever you like - there's nothing written in stone about what the file must be called, however I do ask that the names of files within the ZIPfile be left unchanged. Just let me know the specs of your system (see above list for examples) and I'll be happy to add your board to the list!
