Good morning. I am a returning player of Trade wars and want to now run it on my computer. I would also like to serve it out but need to know a few things...
1. Do I need to set up a BBS? or can I run it from my webserver?
2. How/Where do I register?
3. I have rev .55, is that the newest one and the one I should be using?
4. Any thing I did not think of?
Thanks for your help! I look forward to getting involved again!

Here are our replies to your questions:

1. No you can run the TWGS separate. You don't need a BBS. Clients can elnet in directly.

2. Order from http://www.eisonline.com/order/default.htm.

3. Not too sure ofthe version. We are on v1.01.54 and it seems okay. I have not checked to see if there are any updates.

4. Well, if you do plan to run a telnet BBS on the same machine, then you may want to change the port on the TWGS. Also, I was overwhelmed by the additional features of the TWGS than the older TradeWars we SysOp's use to have running. Once you navigate around, it becomes clear.

Hope that helps you.

Thanks for all the help!
I appreciate the answers immensely...

Still a little lost but catching on...

The server updates and change log can be found at: http://www.eisonline.com/twgs/beta/
I would suggest you upgrade to .55, as it fixes some fairly serious bugs. However, when banging new games, do not use the min/max tunnel length setting in bigbang.
