  This is a specialized version of Trade Wars Helper that can be used for
  any TW2002 version 1.03 game and TW2002 version 2 games of up to 3000
  sectors.  It is functionally equivalent to and runs 20-25 percent faster
  than the standard version and requires somewhat less memory.  Program
  modules from the standard versions archive (TWHELP80.ZIP) are required
  for this version to operate.  Users with sufficiently fast machines will
  probably not need to use this version. 


  INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 

  Unzip this ZIP file to the \twhelp directory.  It's ok to overlay the
  file_id.diz file since they are identical. 

  Create a batch file (TWHSU.BAT) in the directory of your communications
  program like below.  It changes to the \twhelp directory, executes the
  twhelpsu program, changes back to your communication program's directory
  and then exits the DOS shell.. 

  cd \twhelp 
  twhelpsu 
  cd \(comm-prog-dir) 
  exit 

  For registered users, the registration key(s) you received 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 TWHSU to start the batch
  program for those games of up to 3000 sectors. 

  The data files are fully compatible between the standard version
  (TWHELP.EXE) and the Small Universe version (TWHELPSU.EXE).  The
  standard version can handle data files of 5000 sectors but does run
  about 20-25 percent slower.  Users with sufficiently fast machines may
  wish to use the standard version for all games.  Users with slow machine
  can use this small universe version for games of up to 3000 sectors.

  When establishing a new BBS database, Trade Wars Helper asks how many
  sectors are in the TW universe.  If the Small Universe version show less
  than 3000 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.
