AEXTERN v .432201 (C) 1992 Jason Boyd
Released into public domain 2/20/1992.
AEXTERN is part of the AEDIT package. Before using AEXTERN you must read the
AEDIT documention file and agree to all its terms. Terms applying to the
AEDIT program and documentation also apply to the AEXTERN program and this
documentation.
WARNING: DO NOT use this program with anything but Trade Wars 2002 version
1.03.
This program does some miscellanous nightly maintenace functions. Currently
the seven functions it has are:
Adding interest to Galactic Bank accounts
Causing random cloak failures
Limitting the number of planetary shields
Moving a "Wanderer" planet
Resetting the owner of the Wanderer
Resetting the population of the Wanderer
Evicting players from the Wanderer
The options for these functions are contained in the <E> menu of the AEDIT
program.
For this program to function properly it must be run every day, preferably
right after or before the Trade Wars EXTERN.EXE program is run. You should
put this program in your nightly maintenance batch file if you have one. It
requires no command line parameters, but must be run from the TRADEWAR
directory.
