There are problems with the 'naut roster in BARIS/RIS. Many of the names are misspelled (Nelyubv instead of Nelyubov, for instance), and a number of the astronauts and cosmonauts in it are fictional. I've gone through the roster and compared it to historical recruitments from the Space Race, and put together a mod that makes recruiting in RIS or BARIS more historically accurate.
The mod is...

I understand that this project is known as RIS (Race Into Space) rather than BARIS because we don't have Dr. Aldrin's permission to use his name on it. If so, maybe we ought to modify the game's splash screen. I've created a modified one that the game might use: [RIS Splash Screen][1]

The Docking Module has had to move, as Geocities is closing soon. But the Enhancement Requests doc is still available, and with new additions. It can now be found at http://peyre.sqweebs.com/BARIS/Enhancement_Requests.doc. That copy will be updated periodically, as well.

There are two guides that I know of. The Docking Module (http://www.geocities.com/raceintospace/index.htm) includes them, including the latest version of my guide and incremental updates to it (the "Appendix"). If you want more, you can email the webmaster there about the Companion.

Are there any plans to implement it? I'm not looking to play a PBEM game in the near future, but I've been vaguely curious if the PBEM and Modem options will be activated again.

I've noticed this in both the Windows and Linux versions. Let's say you set up a manned mission and selected the crews for it, then cancel it and reselect crews, because you made a mistake selecting Primary & Backup crews--if you only have 2 crews available, you can't just swap Primary and Backup; you have to back out of crew selection to where it shows the mission you've selected, then you hit...

I've just finished my second winning game using the Linux version. Both times was playing the Soviets doing a Soyuz Lunar Landing. Each time, after successfully returning to Earth from the lunar landing, after seeing the full recovery movie--just before it was supposed to cut to the end-game screen--the game abruptly abended. No error message; it just closed itself, returning me to the...

In the Linux version, I just flew a C-Kicker mission. I failed the lunar reconnaissance roll, and watched my spacecraft plummet to the lunar surface--splat--but then the problem summary came up and said that only my LM pilot (Leonov!) died; it didn't list the other two crew members. Then there was no return trip, and the mission summary showed that all three had died. But then the newscast...

Sorry, my mistake. The difference in behavior is when you press Enter, not click the mouse.
