Let me see if I can find the references.

History of the Imperium Working Group began a system like this to give
out broad ranges of numbers to the area analysis and then number the
document sequentially within the range.

I'm guessing more likely however, Evyn is referring to the BARD, the
TNE library. Unfortunately the only place BARD was hosted was on
Downport.com, which has now gone. I know downport is on Archive.org,
so it's possible to find the documents. I'm just not sure where the
index page is.

And that my Traveller antinet is the only one on the planet.  But if it helps me write more, until Jeff Z tells me to desist :-), I'm going to give it a go. [1]  Expect incoming.
