aaargh!

Yes, good thought.  Although I would prioritize the Swedish thing over
the other two on the grounds that someone else must have the others
(and could help out) whereas Morgonstjärnen I'd guess is one of the
more unique things in my collection.  (I still remember the surprised
delight of stumbling across this in a shop in Goteborg decades ago.
Would love to one day find 1, 2, 3 and 5/6 but am not holding my
breath.)  (The shop has long since gone as has my friend who used to
live there).  (He's now on the other side of the country, not dead,
just to be clear!)

Is Dark River lost?  I'm sure I have this somewhere, but rather
assumed others did as well...

And one day I'd love to put my own two sectors from way back into
non-handwritten form [1], but I can't see much value in spending the
time... (I'd probably not bin the originals so it wouldn't save
space)... and there's very few world write ups so they're not really
of interest to anyone else.  I think it was when I generated my first
sector using the computer that I got my first Total Perspective Vortex
moment of just how vast the Traveller universe was and lost hope of
ever detailing all the worlds in a sector.


If I ever get to this, I may come back to you on how to format the
data, if I may...

other is Commodore 64 print out from software I wrote!
