The STAR TREK tapes that are in circulation right now have *two* episodes per tape, not four, and though I'm not positive on this point, I think that there is only *five* of the double-episode tapes (the sixth one being the single-episode "Space Seed"). In order to have four episodes per tape, the running time of the tape would be three hours and twenty minutes, which is far in excess of the running time of any other tape in release (except for two movies: THE RIGHT STUFF and THE SEVEN SAMURAI). With the imminence of the Trek-of-the-Month Club, I really doubt that Paramount would re-release those tapes. We shall see. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
