Distant binary stars may also form;  in these systems one of  the  planets  is
replaced  by a star.  Their orbits are shown as red arcs,  to distinguish them
from the world types.

The  generation  procedure  (option "G" from  the  main menu)  produces  these
results;  the sort  of data that  could be obtained by long-range observation.
It's  fairly  fast.  If  the  solar  systems  that  are  produced look boring,
run this procedure again until you are satisfied.

Once you have  a sector you like,  choose the "save" option (menu choice "S").
You'll be asked for a file name;  type in a maximum of eight letters, preceded
by the drive letter if you're not using the default drive.  If you don't enter
a name, the program will use the file name "UNNAMED".  Menu option "L" reloads
saved  sectors.  It  also uses the default "UNNAMED" if you don't enter a file
name,  and looks for a documentation  file  with  the  same  first  name  (for
example, SAMPLE.DOC for SAMPLE.SEC). Text files must be no more than 23 lines,
78 columns, eg Sidekick files.

Menu option "V" lets you take a look at your sector, using cursor keys to move
between systems and ENTER to exit. This option still only produces the sort of
data that might be obtained by long-range observation.
