Stars! FAQ
From Stars!wiki
Stars! FAQ was created and designed by James McGuigan to replace both the Stars! Advanced and Technical FAQ (created by Dave Johnston) and the rgcs FAQ (also created by James). It was planned to be a single web resource that contained and collated all the known technical information about Stars! that had been found over the years(rather like this wiki really).
It was one of James' idle plans to turn the FAQ into a wiki site and I have permission from James to copy all the information and articles from the FAQ into this wiki. Feel free to help :)
