Timeline for Stardreamer and Dream-Ware
25 March 05
Have you ever wondered when the Stardreamer systems were first implemented? Or when the Dream-Ware Group first became involved in this whole DREAMS business? After some intensive research (a big thanks to Mufossa for his Expanded Timeline) we have been able to put together our own Timeline that shows the development of the Stardreamer system and how Dream-Ware fits in with this.
Alive and well!
30 January 05
After several weeks the site is finally active again. We have also moved to a new host DataFlame.
Here at Dream-Ware we are currently involved in some very sensitive work that could potentially effect the whole Galaxy (or not..) this will mean there are not likey going to be any major updates to the site for the near future. Don't despair though, we do have plans for new material and as time allows this will be implemented and available for you pleasure.
FFE Journals Added
19 June 04
Here at the Dream-Ware Group we have now made it possible to navigate and search all articles from the FFE 'Ship Library Archives'. The interface has been designed to emulate the in-game view as close as possible. To this affect we strongly recommend you download and install the Frontier Font v2.0. This section is a WIP and thus far from complete.
The articles can be viewed by Article title, Journal, Author or a mix each. A basic search has been implemented though this isn't too robust at present.
Once complete you will be able to view the articles in several ways along with a 'game' order (month/year) and the search engine should be much more advanced.
Added W3C Validator links
7 March 04
As the Dream-Ware site has been designed to comply with the W3C regulations I have now added their logos and links to the foot of every page. You can get more info by visiting the validation page.
Still using IE? Well you wouldn't be making a bad choice by moving over to the Mozilla browser. As I prefer using Mozilla Firefox I've included a link at the foot of all my pages.
Design Layout Fixes/Updates
9 January 04
Almost all of the layout glitches in IE 5.01 & 5.5 have now been fixed. Plus there have been some slight changes to the 'Game Music' navigation.
Brand New Site Design
5 January 04
The site redesign is now complete including a brand new banner. The site is now XHTML 1.0 Transitional compliant and has been tested in Windows versions of Mozilla 1.5/Firebird 0.7, Opera 7.23, Netscape 6.2/7.1 and IE 5.01/5.5/6.
IE 5.01 & 5.5 do have some minor problems while displaying site. These are just minor glitches with the layout and should not interfere with accessing any of the content. As always it is strongly recommended you upgrade your browser, preferably to using either Mozilla or Opera.
New domain name - dream-ware.net
3 June 03
The domain name dream-ware.net has been aquired and will be used for all links to the The Dream-Ware Group homepage. Please set all your links to use this URL.
FRAMES removed from Site

Previously the Dream-Ware Group website used FRAMES for the navigation. For compatibility reasons and to bring the site closer to web standards these have to be removed.

XHTML Conversion Started
20 April 33
After several weeks of research I have decided to build the Dream-Ware Group website using XHTML and CSS standards. At present everything with the exception of 'Game Music' and the main navigation have been converted, and of course all future work on the site will comply to the XHTML standards.
