Trade Wars Guide

This is an Mac utility for the popular BBS game TradeWars 2002.It will process CIM reports and locate ideal trading locations and hiding places. This version supports the following features: Find Paired Ports Find Dead End Sectors Find Fork Ends Find Unexplored Sectors Find One-way List Explored Ports version 2.2 now gives a more accurate dead-end report. It will also process datafiles with minor formating errors. Until TWGuide was released, Macintosh users have been at a major disadvantage when playing TradeWars 2002. Since TradeWars runs on IBM-compatible BBSs, most of the utilities written for the game are only available to PCs. It irritated me that those who were clearly intellectually superior are penalized for choosing Mac over PC, so I set out to right this injustice. ;) Version 2.0 Note Verision 2.0 uses a very different search algorithm then previous versions. V2.0 fixes a bug that causes the program to crash when there are more than 200 pair ports This allows it to process a large captured file in 2-3 seconds instead of 1-2 minutes. Please send me e-mail if you find any bugs. Thanks. What's on the drawing board? * Data file mergin * I have also written a utility that allows a player to locate other players during the game in the TW universe. This is very useful for those of you who play TW on a multinode BBS system. * Find Nearest Warp
