This article is from the Stardates in Star Trek FAQ, by Andrew Main zefram@dcs.warwick.ac.uk with numerous contributions by others.
This FAQ is posted to the USENET newsgroup rec.arts.startrek.tech every 30
days. It is cross-posted to rec.answers and news.answers. It can be found by
searching any of these newsgroups for the subject line "Stardates in Star Trek
Mini-FAQ" (without the quotes). Depending on the configuration at your site,
it is possible that it may be expired earlier than intended, and therefore not
be available.
It is also available for anonymous FTP from rtfm.mit.edu (18.70.0.209) as file
/pub/usenet/news.answers/star-trek/stardates. This will contain the last
version to be distributed via USENET. rtfm.mit.edu also has a number of
mirrors, in which it is archived as star-trek/stardates. These URLs point to
