I have placed a couple of downloads here. Two utilities for Stars! which I (and others) have sometimes found it difficult to find, the Stars! Strategy Guide, and two nice little freeware utilities. You can click on the screenshots to view them in full size.

Split File Shell Extension v3.1b
Split File Shell Extension v3.1b splits up a file
into smaller pieces, for example for storage on portable media or e-mailing
when there are limits on attachment size. It is a shell extension, i.e. it is
run from the right click menu in Windows Explorer. The size of the segments can
be defined from a list of predefined sizes, by a user defined size, or by a
specific number of segments. The split files can be made self assembling, so
the receiver does not need any special software to assemble the file again.
Download Splitter31b.zip (284 kb), unzip it to a
directory and run install.exe to install the program.

points and much more. Download StarsCalc306.zip

Stars! Strategy Guide
Stars! Strategy Guide is a compilation of articles by a number of authors, which give good advice on various aspects of the game Stars! Download SSG.zip (1.324 kb), unzip it to a directory and launch ssg.htm in your favorite browser.
Universe Creator v1.3
Universe Creator v1.3 lets a
Stars! host remap the stars in a Stars! game to correspond to a bitmap, and
move around the single stars afterwards (though only in the north-south
direction). Download UC13.zip (288 kb), unzip it to a
directory and run UnivCrt.exe. As a little bonus, I have also included two
batch files that are useful when creating a remapped game, a game definition
file and a text file explaining their use.
