Description :
ATTAC is a TCP/IP Tradewars Helper. This means that ATTAC will help you play Tradewars and make you a
better and more efficient player. ATTAC automates tasks, keeps a realtime database of fighters,
ports, sectors, busts and more, as well many other useful features. You use ATTAC as a client program to
connect to the tradewars game you are playing via TCP/IP as you would with any normal telnet
application. Through ATTAC, you can then access any of the predefined scripts as well as write any of your own
using the REXX scripting langauge.

The globalization and development reader
"...despite the fact that there are strong opposing forces against them in organizations such as Attac,
(Advanced Tradewars Tactical Assault and Combat), the environmental movement..."

The Icon in My Pocket

The movement's name is actually "Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens", or "Action for a Tobin Tax to Assist the Citizen".
