DopeWars for PalmOS
This is DopeWars, a PalmOS clone of an old DOS game of the same name. The
original DOS version is included with the DopeWars source code (however, it's
not written by me).
This program is freeware, and the source code is available free of charge as
well at the DopeWars web site. I believe the Palm community could use more
quality free programs and less poor-quality shareware programs. Also, I
learned PalmOS programming from studying other programmers' code, and I hope new
programmers might learn something from my code as well.
The help dialogs in the game explain how to play the game. Either click on
the info icon in the upper right hand corner of a dialog box or access the help
topics from the Help menu in the buying/selling screen.
With the advent of the automatic save/resume feature in version 2.0, you may want to start a new game more often in the middle of a game. To start a new game (ending your current game), select New Game from the Game menu on the buying/selling screen.
DopeWars for PalmOS is copyright 1999 Matthew Lee. If you use my code in your
program, please make mention of it in the program somewhere and send me an email if you could.
Thanks goes out to all of the kind people who sent me feature suggestions, pointed out bugs, and shared their appreciation of
the game with me. This game is great because of your contributions!
Have fun!

Help Matt Develop More Great PalmOS Software!
DopeWars is free, and it will always be free. However, a little bit of money would greatly help the development of future quality pieces of software.
