Install the supplied DOS/WIN version 3.09 of Trade Wars. 2002v309.zip

When it's time to run BIGBANG.EXE and create the universe use:

Registered To: Batman
Sysop Name:    Nobody
Serial Number: FB\D8IP\EI


It then asks you if you registered Gold. Answer NO, Repeat: Answer NO
Use whatever is default in bigbang as it matters not because you will be
running it again before the game is ready to play.

Let the install go and when your finished you will have a registered
non-gold version of tradewars.

Next run the PZ Crack pz_tw309.zip and fallow their instructions.

Last step run BIGBANG again being sure to activate the Gold edition by
using (J) Enable Gold Edition = YES Also make any changes to the default 
universe at this time as this is the final setup. 

You are now registered Gold.

Remember everytime you run bigbang you must now re-activate the Enable Gold
Edition. You must also NOT EXIT bigbang once entered without completeing the
universe creation. You erase some .dat files when you run it and unless it's
completed those files will not be in place. If this happens, no problem, just
bigbang it again and let it finish.
