WALL $TREET RAIDER - (C) 1997 Michael D. Jenkins
INTRODUCTION AND QUICK-START INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are reading this file, you apparently have already
"unzipped" the compressed archive file, which contains
new Wall $treet Raider version 6.0.
To install Wall $treet Raider on your hard disk, create a
directory of any name (\WSR suggested) on your hard disk,
and copy all of the unzipped files into that directory.
Then, from that directory, simply type "WSR" (or "RAIDER")
and press the <ENTER> key to start the program. See
the USERINFO.DOC text file for information about using
the program and registering.
Each time you start a new game, the program asks you if you
want to automatically print out a registration form with
your printer. To register, simply print out the form, check
the items you wish to order, and mail to the address on the
registration form, along with your check or money order.
(Additional charge for shipping outside U.S.-Canada -- $5.00
U.S. NOTE: We can only accept checks payable in U.S. or
Canadian dollars, drawn on U.S. or Canadian banks.) Or call
or e-mail your credit card order to Public Software Library,
which accepts credit card orders/registrations for us.
SOME OF THE NEW FEATURES IN THIS UPDATE:
. Unlike prior shareware versions, the "cheat mode" feature
is now activated, the same as in the registered version.
This includes numerous "ethical choice" scenarios that
will pop up from time to time, offering you a chance
to choose between doing the "right thing" or doing
something sleazy that may be very profitable. Cheat
mode also makes a "cheat menu" available, with a number
of menu commands that allow you to do things like call
in competitors' loans, or freeze their lines of credit;
file harassing lawsuits, to drive small competitors,
who afford stand all the legal costs, out of business;
start rumor campaigns about a competitor, to drive its
stock price down; or peek into the details of a bank's
loan portfolio (even if you don't control the bank).
. Save and retrieve multiple games, up to 9,999 of them.
. When starting a new game, you can now set the number of
transactions (maximum) per turn, which can range from 2 to 5.
The new version works with a CUSTOMIZER Utility program (which
you will receive if you register for $25), which allows you to
replace the company names and symbols in the simulation with
those of your choosing, for example European or Asian companies,
in place of those that come with the basic version. The new
names and symbols will be used in all subsequent games, unless
you make further changes, or delete the data file (and thus
return to the original, default names and symbols).
. The newly-accessible "cheat menu" also includes a name-change
command, that lets you, during a game, change the name of any
company you control, to whatever name you desire -- for the
rest of that game only.
. Company names and stock symbols have been updated, such as
to reflect the acquisition of McDonnell-Douglas by Boeing, and
of Turner Broadcasting by Time-Warner, Inc.
