I checked my tape as well, but it's a bad copy on dubious-quality tape, so the credits are barely discernable. I got the above spelling from the Internet Movie Database (which is also known for occasional spelling errors, but that spelling looks right to me). I believe the confusion may come from the use of a capital "I" right next to a lowercase "l," which can blur together and look like a single letter (which is why the word "Illustrated" has always looked weird to me ;).

That's the JL>sort of fair use thing I suppose you could get away with. JL>I don't remember offhand if there was some message in he JL>book somewhere about using the reference with permission. The fair use provisions govern that. A.C.Clark was not writing as though Star Wars was "Real" he was writing as though it were a movie that his protagonist had seen many years before. Because Star Wars really was a movie, anyone even a fictional person can speak in fiction of having seen it, or mention that it exists. Any sizable use of the plot or characters (Like having your PC tell us what happens in the movie) doesn't count, but to mention that it's there does. JL> That makes me wonder though, since I've never seen it. Has any sci-fi JL>story out there ever made references to Star Trek big or JL>small? Preferably maybe ones set in or near the same time JL>period. :) I have never seen anything set in the far future mentioned as related to Star Trek, but in the Spider Robinson Book "LifeHouse" one of the PCs is repeatedly mentioned to bear a striking resemblance to Jean Luc Picard or "That Star Trek Guy". Actually that's not entirely true. There used to be a series of coffee table books where cover art from various SF works was reproduced and a story was written to link them all together. Pretty cheesy now that I think of it. But I loved them them (This was the early 80's). On panel had the cover from a Ballantine Trek book (Don't know which one) It was said to describe a starship built to resemble the Enterprise as a monument to the SF that led to the glorious future. The exact picture in question was said to represent the moment when this working replica Enterprise was stolen by crazed fans. Go Figure... Jay P.
