  There was a version of Trade Wars Services that worked with versions 2
and 3...but I lost version 3 in a system crash years ago. I still have
version 2 of it, and while it can run with or without a fossil driver,
version 2 of Trade Wars doesn't have a fossil driver with it. So, you have
to run it under Synchronet with its DOSXTRN utility, and redirect the
comport to "Console".

  Version 3 of Trade Wars Services worked with version 3.02 of Trade
Wars, but you saw where Ferrengal and all the other planets were. Yet,
the only way you saw them with version 2 is if you stumbled on them,
or they were your planets.

  The thing with Trade Wars Services, you could get extra credits to
build up and manage your empire better. If someone has a version of
Trade Wars Services that'd work with version 3, I'd be interested. The
registration key from version 2 works with version 3.
