TWHELP88.ZIP - This zip file contains the standard version of Trade
Wars Helper, the setup program and most of the text files including the
registration forms REGISTER.TXT and REGMAPER.TXT.
TWHGUI88.ZIP - This zip file contains the Graphical User Interface (GUI)
versions of Trade Wars Helper. You can take a look at the GUI versions
with the example files in this archive (just unzip and enter TWHGUIRM).
but you must have the standard version archive to use them in a game.
The standard version operates in text mode using only conventional
memory and is thus very fast and suitable for 286 machines and even XTs.
The /G command to display a graphics map is available to registered
users.
The GUI Real Mode version also uses only conventional memory and is
therefore just as fast as the standard version when being run in text
mode. Since you can quicky move between text and GUI mode, this is the
best choice for most users but does require around 580K of conventional
memory for a 5000 sector game. EGA/VGA monitor and mouse required for
GUI.
The GUI Protected Mode version uses extended memory and is thus slower
that the other two versions (even when being run in text mode) but has
no conventional memory limitations. Only users with a 486 or better
machine and a 16550 UART should use this version.
The DOCGUI.TXT file in TWHGUI88.ZIP contains a more detailed comparision
and discussion of the three versions. All three versions of Trade Wars
Helper continue to support all version of Trade Wars - version 1.03,
V2B5 and the MBBS version.
Once registered, make every effort to learn and use a GUI version! In
addition to simply being more fun and enjoyable, you will find there is
a distinct advantage in seeing the graphics map on the screen while
exploring as well as other times.
Trade Wars Helper - The fastest, most complete and versatile, best
graphics and lowest priced helper program around! Don't leave FedSpace
without it!
