    What version of Trade Wars do you not have the EXTERN for?? I might
    have version 1.03d of the game archived over here (I'm not running it),
    but it may have an EXTERN with it that I could send you.

    It is TW 5 "Galactic Armageddon" v3.0, which I think is a different "fork" than the one that lead to 2002.

    yeah, that's seriously different from TW2002... i've never even heard of it and i was deep into all of the TW stuff...

    Not sure, but I think it is coded in a completely different language
    than the 2002 versions.

    it might be from the early pascal one that got out... i found one or two of those source code packs on my main system some time back... i don't recall downloading them but apparently i did... they weren't very large, either... not sure what i did with them, now...

    I found a DOS copy of TW2, which is the same version I think the SBBS java version is based on. It runs so I am happy. :)

    Now all I have to do is finish upgrading my door converter so that it will create DOOR.SYS and DORINFOx files so that I can add Yankee Trader to my
    list of doors (thanks to the link you shared last week!).
