[Q] I'm working on a new galaxy, and I'd like to send it to a
friend. What should I do?

[A] First, you need to get it into a zipfile, then you need to
send it either as a MIME attachment or in UUencoded format.
Assuming your galaxy is in the "dude" directory, zip it up:

   pkzip -rP dude.zip dude\*.*

This should create a file called dude.zip which will contain your
galaxy. Then, either send it as an attached file or uuencode it
(uuencode & uudecode are at ftp://ftp.cs.pdx.edu/pub/frp/util)
and send the uuencoded file. A word of warning: your friend will
have to unzip the file using the -d flag: pkunzip -d dude.zip.
Also, make sure he's using at least as recent a version of
pkunzip as you are using of pkzip. The latest, last I checked,
was version 2.04g, but that may be obsolete by now.

[Q] I'm not ambitious enough to tackle a whole galaxy, but I have
been writing some world descriptions which you might want to include
in the next version of this program. What format is best for you?

[A] Plain ol' text is best for me. Just email me your stuff, and if
it looks like you've run it through a spell-checker and got most of
the commas in the right places, I'll take care of the rest.
