	As DGP's World Builder's Handbook Software has been indefinately
delayed I have undertaken to write my own and distribute it as shareware.
It is called LIBRARY and is available by mail server and annonymous FTP.
	Among its features are: Importing of ASCII sector data, creation and
editing of mainworld data, printing of subsectors, expansion of mainworld
data into extended system generation, naming of bodies by appropriate alien
language tables. Most of the world builder's handbook data is available on
each planet including size, gravity, diameter, core, density, mass, year,
solar year, day, tilt, eccentricity, seismic stress, atmosphere type, 
atmosphere taint, pressure, temperature worksheet, water coverage and 
composition, tectonic plates, land masses, natural, processed, and information
resources, native life, breakdown of cities, names of major cities,
progressiveness, aggressiveness, extensiveness, all local customs, goverment
style and structure, full religious profile, law level breakdown and
uniformity, and tech level breakdown.
	Not only this but LIBRARY will map your planets on MONO, CGA, EGA, or
VGA screen in traditional isohedreon format or spherical representation. Each
map triangle can be expanded in size up to 16 times giving a resolution of
up to 16km per pixel on some planets.
	You can upload LIBRARY from the mail server at info-server@maths.tcd.ie
in the jaymin/trav directory. Request jaymin/trav/libdist.zip for a single
zipped file or jaymin/trav/library.exe, jaymin/trav/library.doc, and
jaymin/trav/core.asc for seperate files. For more information on using the
mail server send a message with HELP as a single line of text.
	Alternatively you can ftp into lanczos.maths.tcd.ie (134.226.81.3)
and copy it from the appropriate directory.
	The full version and updates is be available for those registering
their copy for $15 to
