   The following files make up a complete copy of the TNG Pocket
Books Novels Compendium.  The complete Compendium is posted only
once a year, due to its extreme size.  Updates are posted monthly.

   The complete Compendium is available by E-mail request to
rccarm00@mik.uky.edu, or by Anonymous-FTP at either of the sites
listed below.  If requesting by E-mail, please specify if you
need ASCII format; otherwise, you will receive uuencoded, TARred
and compressed data.

   The Compendium is divided into nine files, which comprise the
nine sections of the Compendium.  The "Compendium" file is the
main body of the document; it contains listings of characters,
races, worlds, ships, and cross-references for each book in the
TNG series, as well as the plot summary from the back of each
book.
   The "Appendix A" file is a listing of the number of appearances
made by the regular/recurring characters in the series (i.e. Picard,
Guinan, Ro, etc...).  This file also contains a listing of each
author who has written a ST:TNG novel, along with the novel(s) he/she
wrote.
   The "Appendix B" file is an alphabetical listing of every guest
character to have appeared in the novel series (i.e. Q, Lwaxana, etc).
   The "Appendix C" file is an alphabetical listing of every race
encountered in the novel series (i.e. Romulans, Denebians, etc).
   The "Appendix D" file is an alphabetical listing of every world
encountered in the novel series (i.e. ch'Havran, Klinzhai, etc).
   The "Appendix E" file is an alphabetical listing of every Starfleet
ship mentioned in the novel series, along with the name of its commanding
officer (when known) and its registry (also when known)...
(i.e. U.S.S. Enterprise (Constellation-class) <Captain James T. Kirk>).
   The "Appendix F" file is a collection of notable quotes from the 
novel series (i.e. "I'm a doctor, not a..."). 
   The "Appendix G" file is an alphabetical listing of cross-references
from the novel series (i.e. references to famous people, novels, etc).
   The "Appendix H" file is an alphabetical listing of all characters
which have died in the course of the novel series.
