What is it ? 
     Nothing more than a cool tool bar for Star Trek fans. It
     has 5 main areas :
      - Task Area(Left Side where clock is) a good place for the
        task bar
      - The Static Icon Area(vertical bars next to Task Area)
      - Context/User Icon Area(the top right)
      - Status area(between the top and bottom where Mem Stat is)
      - The Data Pane(the bottom right)for viewing and exploring
        size your applications to fit in here too

What does it cost ? 
*NOTE* A "buck" is equal to $1.00 US Currency
     It is "freebuckware" meaning you can use it as long
     as you want. If, however, you would like to suggest
     improvements send a buck, if you want the source
     send a buck! If you want to distribute it do NOT change,
     add to, or take away from the RCARS.ZIP it must be 
     distributed in whole as this zip file and NOT in parts,
     and please send a buck. Anyone who sends a buck will
     receive updates forever or as long as I choose to 
     update it!

    A word on Icons; I refer to the buttons with text
    as Icons, "Text Icons". For millions of years people
    drew pictures to express thoughts then someone invented
    words to more precisely express thoughts. Then someone
    at Apple Computer decided cave drawings were better than
    the written word!? A picture is worth a thousand words,
    which is a problem; which words does it mean? How do you
    put them in order? Hence "Text Icons".

    Help(minimal) is on screen
         - Trekies should be able to spot
           the help Icon
