  I looked, and there was NOTHING in the documentation about fossil support.
Version 3 of the game DOES have Fossil Driver Support...as does the Trade
Wars Services utility. The latter allows ways to obtain credits faster, and
for managing their empire (moving planets, colonists, commodities, etc.) to
needed sectors. 

  If there is a wide beta 8 of Trade Wars 2002 version 2, I'd like to obtain
it.

  I lost the version of Trade Wars Services for version 3 of Trade Wars in
a crash years ago, and I've never been able to find it on the internet...the
developers are long gone. One version that I found apparently had a glitch,
where players could see where Ferrengal and any other planets were, including
those not their own. To me, that put newer players at a disadvantage in the
game...as they didn't have a chance to build up their resources against other
players.

  I did see a message on Facebook about a new version of Trade Wars 2002
Game Server by John Pritchett (I don't recall his exact name), and I think 
it was in the Telnet BBS Guide group. I'll defer to admin Dave Perussel on 
that.
