              Announcing Release 8.3/8.4 of Trade Wars Helper

In an ongoing tradition, Trade Wars Helper continues to be improved and
enhanced to maintain its leadership position as "the best Trade Wars
utility available".  It also continues to be fully compatible with
version 1.03, version 2 and the Major BBS version of TW2002. 

In addition to several minor improvement, the new features of this
release include the utilization of the Planet Transporter for the
commands that procure colonists, products and shields for a planet.
Also a command to buy then jettison products to increase experience has
been added along with the ability to cross trade a single product
between ports.  And for those who need to attack enemy ships quickly,
the /A command has been added for either an all out attack or one based
on the fighters, shield strength (when known) and offensive ratios of
the ships involved.

This latest release is named TWHELP84.ZIP and can be downloaded on the
first call from Monty's Place BBS (801) 944-8636 or Rocky Mountain
Software (801) 963-8720 and logging on as "Just Fun" with a password of
"Software".  The file size is 250K and 14,400 bps capability is
available.  This archive contains the program module for a 5000 sector
universe. 

A Small Universe version is in a separate zip file named TWHSU84.ZIP.
Its file size is 120K and is functionally equivalent to the standard
version, run about 20-25% faster and requires sightly less memory but
can only handle a TW universe of up to 3000 sectors.  It does require
modules from the standard zip file to operate.  Thus if you have a 386
or faster machine, just download TWHELP84.ZIP.  Otherwise get both zip
files.  Registration keys for release 7.0 and above work for release
8.4. 

Trade Wars Helper is a players TERMINAL PROGRAM that maintains an ONLINE
DATABASE of sectors with their port, warp to, and other information.
Several commands are available to utilize this information in addition
to AUTOMATING most of the repetitive processes and a GRAPHICS MAP
display.  Trade Wars Helper - Don't leave FedSpace without it!
