From TradeWars Museum
"This is defiantly a nightmare. OK, how do you set it up." - The calling
syntax is (just like all my programs):
ROAMSD datapath [/all]
datapath is, as always, the drive/path where your Trade Wars 2002 data files
are. If you include the /ALL switch, then the port can pop up inn FedSpace,
Ferrengi Homeworld ([darn], that'd be nasty ]:) ), etc.
That's it. Easy as [heck] to set up. i try to make this [poop] easy for even
morons with IQs lower then 12. (I do know a few people like that).
OK. As I said in WarpFix that I released an hour or so before this one, I'm
getting tired of hearing that everyone loves my programs and everyone uses
them when I'm getting [poop] for money. Look, I'm taking my time to write the
code, debug it, test it, write the documentation (and I HATE writing
documentation), and all the rest that goes into releasing a program, so I'd
like for you people to send me money in payment of my stuff. $5 per program
you use sounds fine to me. It's not much but it's better then nothing. $5 is
not much. I see where some ShareWare programs asked for tons more, and they
[stunk]. So $5 ain't jack. OK?
"[Darn], your in a bad mood" - No [poop], you noticed? I'm in a bad mood because
I'm not getting any money for my work and because I turn 22 in a few days.
"It's your birthday? When?!" - February the 8th. And I hate it. Turn 22 and
I'm still alone.
In case you might of seen the idea of this program on the Trade Wars 2002
Echo, it's because it was. One of my users (Rick Blackwell, AKA stinger)
reads the echos several times a week and brought this to my attention. And
seeing as how I'm in a very [sour] mood, I decided to turn the idea into
code just to be a [wanker]. Is that OK with you? If not, who cares.
Speaking of the TW Echo.... I'm trying to find someone to pay the phone
bill for a connection into FidoNet so you ungrateful little people can send
me mail from the system you call. Gee, ain't that just nice of me?
So if you have any information on how to get into the net (it's been a LONG
time since I've been in a net), please send it my way and you just might be
seeing the almighty AOS tag on a message by me. Scary eh?
Now for the canned, generic [poop] I always stick on docs. Oh ya, people, we
MUST end racism. I'm sitting here watching Jerry Springer and they have
thies young kids on that are racists. This must not continue. If the
Christian god is so loving how come all his followers hate? The hate must
stop. And it must stop now. and for the record, I'm white. And seeing
the kids on TV that hate, I'm not very proud of my race. Stop the hate.
-=- End of documentation. Canned, generic [poop] follows -=-
So far I haven't gotten jack [poop] for donations for all the [Darn] programs I've
written for Trade Wars. If this continues I'm just going to stop doing TW
stuff. I am currently working on some registration routines. I'm not writing
thies things for my health ya know.
And for the people who even give a [poop], I decided to skip my video digitizer
and go for a faster modem. So you guys can call AOS to get the programs and
not go in debt with your phone company. And so I can start calling LD and
uploading my programs when I first release them so you people can get them
faster. Gee, ain't that nice of me?
So send any money you feel the programs are worth. Or if you own/run a
company, donate hardware to my BBS (like a 19.2 kbp modem!) and get your
company/store name and address posted on my board AND in my doc files!!!
Hows that for some good advertising? I think it's worth it. And if you do
donate hardware, you'll get the next 5 releases free that require a
registration to unlock features. So I think you get something good in return.
Send any donations or hardware to the address given shortly. And for hardware,
don't forget to include any information you want added to my board/DOCs about
your store, like phone number, address, what you sell/do, etc. A full ANSI
advertisement would be great to.
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
The following people (accualy PERSON) deserves thanks for sending money in
for one or more of my programs:
11/02/92 : Mike Fergione
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
That should be enough. Now the stuff no one reads.. If you like this or
any of the other programs I've done that you have or have seen, please send
me something for my time and testing. I currently don't have a "real" job and
my only income is from my BBS and my programming. Do you know how hard it is
for a 21 year old computer nerd to get a job in a small hick town?
Send any donations, or your own programs that you've written to be placed on
my BBS to:
David Proper
927 Maple Avenue, NW
New Philadelphia, Ohio 44663-1522
Or if you just want to check out my BBS, which has all my publicly released

Yea, I also have a Sound Blaster Pro so I can do any audio samples for the
users that they may want.
A quick little thank you goes out to Dan Roseen, SysOp of Nite Owl BBS
206-631-4949. He gave the TW file formats to one of my users that called his
system looking for them. Thanks Dan, we need more SysOps like that who are
willing to help out there users and other SysOps. (You wouldn't believe the
[cowpoo] in this area between the local systems. It's unbelievable)
And of course thanks to Jason Boyd for writting the text file that had the
file formats.
Thanks also goes to Rick Blackwell aka Stinger for hyping my programs and my
BBS on the TW2002 Echo and for ideas and suggestions.
Guess that's the end of this file. Increase the peace. Later.
