Well finally I've got the descriptive text export working. However, there is rather a lot going on in it and its quite possible (likely) that I've made errors in it. Please try and break it. The file is available from the ct-starships list and will soon be on my site at www.downport.com (just as soon as I can figure out why I can't login) or you can email me for a copy at a.vallance@netaccess.co.nz or ajm232@student.chchpoly.ac.nz .
