TradeWars 2002 HELP! v2.00 - Capture File Format/Creation/Correction File.
==========================================================================

This file shows the format of the TW2002-?.CIM files and tells what the
scripts do in case you do not have one of the supported terminals.

Structure of the TW2002-I.CIM file
==================================

line 1 : <BLANK>                   
line 2 :   1    2    3    4    5    6    7
line 3 :   2    9   10    3    1    7    8
line 4 :   3  570   29  186    4    1    2
line 5 :   4    3  194  338  406    5    1
line 6 :   5    1    4    6
line 7 :   6    7    1    5  394  425  886
line 8 :   7    8    2    1    6  582  783
line 9 :   8  319  803    2    7
line 10:   9   63  307   10    2  348
line 11:  10  560    2    9
line 12:  11  416  367  570  865

        The first line must be a blank line, and the others each have the 
        sector number first followed by the warps they lead to.  Each number 
        is 4 spaces in length followed by a space, then the next number.  

        If your problem was line noise, just deleting the noise 
        will make it work, if anything is missing, however, you will 
        have to download the information again.

        NOTE: You should run the script after playing TradeWars.  If you do 
              it right away when you log on, the results may be inaccurate
              due to the sector transit information or port information 
              not being accessed yet!


Structure of the TW2002-R.CIM file
===================================

line 1 :<BLANK>
line 2 :   1 0
line 3 :   2 0
line 4 :   3 0
line 5 :   4 0
line 6 :   5   1300 100% - 2810 100%   1940 100% 
line 7 :   6 0
line 8 :   7 0
line 9 :   8 0
line 10:   9 0
line 11:  10    550  63% - 1460 100% - 1320 100% 
line 12:  11 -  329  38%   2440 100% - 1560 100% 
     
        This file is composed of the port records of all the sectors that you
        have explored.  For each number there is either a zero meaning not
        explored yet, or no port in the sector, or there is a trading value
        showing the trading amount and percent trading of the port (negative
        means buying)  You can pick out the format from the above example.


What The Script Does
====================

       For those of you who are unfortunate to not have a supported script,
       here is how you do it manually.  

       Command needed:  Turn on and turn off capture to different files.

       First, you need to know how to send ASCII characters that aren't
       on the keyboard.  This is done by holding down the ALT key while 
       typing the character's ASCII code on the numeric keypad on the right
       of your keyboard (NOT the number keys at the top).  For example,
       a º (a border character often used) has a scan code of 186 so typing
       186 on the keypad while the ALT key is pressed then released
       produces a º. 
       
       The script file first sends ASCII codes 200 through 205 to the ship
       computer.  This will cause a white : to appear and puts you in 
       Computer Interrogation mode.  Once there, the script turns on screen 
       capture to the file TW2002-I.CIM.  Then it sends an 'I'. This 
       causes the computer to spit out the sector info for every sector 
       that you've explored.  The script will, and you should, turn capture 
       off when it's done with that list.

       Turn screen capture back on with the filename TW2002-R.CIM next.  
       Then press 'R' to get the port report list.  When that is done turn 
       off capture again.  Next press 'Q' to exit the computer interrogation
       mode.

       That's all for now folks,
