There is definitely an imperial starfire web page out there, but at
the moment I haven't got the address (most of the search engines will
find it).
I do have an FTP site with some imperial starfire aids on it such as
system generators etc.
Its address is ftp://ftp.cs.colorado.edu/users/seidl/starfire
The best way to find more resources would be to get on the mailing
list. I had to unsubscribe from it after a week or two as the volume
of mail posted to it is/was way to high to deal with.
Hope that helps.
