<H1>Deep Space 36 (DS36)</H1>
Deep Space is a talker based on Worlds v1.0. Worlds evolved from Neil
Robertson's NUTS 2.3.0, thanks to JKurtz, Deep Space's head programmer
(not a shrink).<P>
DS36 is the only talker that contains full room editing capability from
within the framework of a NUTS-based talker. DS36 also incorporates the
concept of "longer mail messages" from Nuts 3.x, but written to look like
pine (an email program under Unix). Basically, it's a different kind of
talker... WORLDS apart from the rest.<P>

We are working on a web interface for the talker. Although Netscape
3.0 and above may be able to handle the Applet satisfactorily, their
decision to not support the platform that is serving this document
means that I will not support the web interface for Netscape.<P>
That having been said, the web interface will be

<A NAME="maps"><H3>Maps of DS36</H3></A>
Although I am planning to create some graphical maps, I also
plan to maintain the text versions, both within the talker
(in the .map command) and on the web. While the graphical
maps are not ready, the text maps are, to some degree. They
are... <A HREF="maps">here</A>. When you selet that link,
you'll have to click back to return here.... :-)

<A NAME="sister"><H3>Our Sister Talker, GlobeChat</H2></A>
Deep Space 36 is not alone in our GlobeGate Mudiverse. We are
happy to support our new baby sister, GlobeChat... or maybe more
like Siamese twins, really. They are run by the same program
simultaneously, which makes coding simple, i.e. changes to one
affect the other and vice-versa. Likewise, all accounts are
shared between the two systems. GlobeChat's primary goal is to
facilitate multilingual communication in a networked environment.
Deep Space is (by design) a "project talker", designed to
showcase the potential of NUTS as a multi-user interface. Its
purpose is to facilitate interaction among students, faculty,
etc. and to provide a unique environment for both recreational
and educational communications online.<P>
