CIMLOGIN is a add on to Traders 1.3. The program is similar
to TWUPDATE as it reads in a capture file and inputs data in
your TRADEWAR.DAT Databank.
However, this is a special purpose file and it's use will
likely be restricted to only a few times. Proper use of this
program is to use it when you start using TRADERS for a game
already in progress!
The Capture file for this program is recommended to be a
seperate capture from your normal game capture file. Name
this seperate capture CAPTURE.CIM.
C.I.M. stands for Computer Integation Mode which is available
from you ship-board computer in Trade Wars 2002. To activate
CIM Mode select C)omputer from the main TW prompt, start your
capture file, then enter {Alt-200} thru {Alt-205}
(This is done by Holding down the ALT key and typing 200 and
releasing the alt key, repeat this with 201, 202, 203, 204 and
205) You should now be in CIM mode. Now, in turn enter I and R
after these to reports have finished press Q to quit, stop the
capture, restart your normal capture and finish your turn.
After you sign-off the BBS run CIMLOGIN in the same dir as your
TRADEWAR.DAT and CAPTURE.CIM it will do the rest! Then using
TWUPDATE you can import your regular capture.cap file.
A FEW NOTES: First off, the CIM reports will include info
on not only sectors you have visited but as well as sectors
you have scanned with a HOLO scanner, or PROBED with a space
probe, so running this maybe once a month is a great idea.
ALSO, for one reason or another, the CIM report doesn't
Class 0 ports correctlly, so make note of your currenttly
known Class 0 ports 'cause you WILL need to use TRADERS
built-in sector editor to re-enter that info.
Enjoy, pardon the shotty docs, and good trading to you.
