  This is a specialized version of Trade Wars Helper used for TW2002
  version 2 games of 3000 to 5000 sectors.  It runs slower than the
  standard version and requires somewhat more memory.  Program modules
  from the standard versions archive (TWHELP75.ZIP) are required for this
  version to operate.


  INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

  Unzip this ZIP file to the \twhelp directory.  Do not overlay the
  file_id.diz file! 

  Create a batch file (TWHLU.BAT) in the directory of your communications
  program like below.  It changes to the \twhelp directory, executes the
  twhelplu program, then changes back to your communication program's
  directory. 

  cd \twhelp 
  twhelplu 
  cd \(comm-prog-dir) 

  For registered users, the registration key(s) you recieved for the
  standard version work for this version as well.



  RUNNING INSTRUCTIONS 

  Run your communications program, login to a BBS and start the Trade Wars
  door.  When Trade Wars begins building its title screen, shell to DOS
  from your communications program and enter TWHLU to start the batch
  program for those games of 3000 to 5000 sectors.   

  The data files are fully compatable between the standard version
  (TWHELP.EXE) and the Large Universe version (TWHELPLU.EXE).  The Large
  Universe version can handle data files of 1000 to 5000 sectors but does
  run about 20-25 percent slower.  Users with sufficiently fast machines
  may wish to use this Large Universe version for all games.

  When establishing a new BBS database, Trade Wars Helper asks how many
  sectors are in the TW universe.  If the Large Universe version show less
  than 5000 can be established it means there is insufficient memory
  available.  Read the INSUFFICIENT MEMORY section in the standard
  versions README.TXT file to resolve this situation.
