This is the BBS evaluationware version of Wall $treet
Raider, Version 4.1. Vendors who are dealer members
Association of Shareware Professionals are authorized
to add this version of the program to their catalogs,
BBS or other shareware product listings without first
obtaining permission of the author. However, it will
be helpful to notify the author of the program that
your company has begun distribution of the program, so
that we can place you on our mailing list to receive
subsequent update releases of the program.
This is the BBS Distribution version (of Version 4.0),
with all of the files except SYSOP.DOC compressed in
2 .ZIP archive files, WSR4_1A.ZIP and WSR4_2B.ZIP.
Users will need to have PKWARE's PKUNZIP.EXE program to
decompress these archived files. The user then simply
enters the command "RAIDER" to start the program. The
archive (.ZIP) files also include the file FILE_ID.DIZ
in the generally accepted format, an ASCII file consis-
ting of a 10-line (45 chars. max per line) brief product
description, as well as the name and version number of
the program, and basic registration fee.
For non-BBS distributors who wish to obtain our self-
installing version of the program (for catalog sales,
for example), you should contact us at the address
below and obtain the self-installing version, which
includes an INSTALL.EXE file and LHA format self-
extracting archive files.
BBS's are hereby granted permission to allow users to
download this shareware version of the program, whether
or not you are an A.S.P. member. However, all other
prospective vendors of the program who are not A.S.P.
members must first request permission, which will
usually be granted if you enclose a copy of your
catalog or similar information.

GAMES -- SIMULATIONS
GAMES -- STRATEGY
EDUCATION -- BUSINESS
BRIEF PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
"HIGHLY REALISTIC SIMULATION OF CORPORATE
FINANCE AND THE WALL STREET JUNGLE"
LONGER PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Enlist in the Corporate Wars! W$R allows
1 to 4 players (including the computer) to
engage in amazingly realistic corporate
wheeling and dealing, Wall Street style.
Mount hostile takeovers, restructure sick
companies, trade on inside information, do
LBO's, mergers, file harassing lawsuits
against competitors, engage in greenmail
payoffs, seek "White Knights" to help you
"shark-proof" your company from other
marauding junk bond takeover artists,
while you struggle to keep companies you
control profitable, against ruthless
industry competitors and arbitrary
government actions. Non-stop action with
a live (simulated) stock ticker and an
unending flow of earnings reports, financial
and political news pouring off the "broad
tape" as you use sophisticated research
tools to try to keep your investments in any
of 150 companies (IBM, Exxon, GM, etc.)
afloat. Effortless to play, the incredibly
realistic, ever-changing Wall $treet Raider
simulation compares to other stock market
games like chess does to checkers. THERE'S
NOTHING ELSE REMOTELY LIKE IT AT ANY PRICE!
