			Inside Trader Release Notes

				Version 2.0


	Thank you very much for purchasing your copy of Inside Trader.
	This latest release contains a number of enhancements that may
	not be outlined in your documentation. These are:

	1. The player begins with $50,000 instead of $10,000

	2. There are three command line switches that can be used
	   in any combination.

	   a. TRADER /S  causes the game to begin with sound off

	   b. TRADER /R  causes the game to begin with saved assets
			 (see SAVE command below)

	   c. TRADER /M  is for use with monochrome or composite monitors

	3. The SAVE command will save your portfolio and cash reserves,
	   and all stock prices for use in a later game. The saved
	   information is restored with the /R command line switch.
	   The "hot key" for this command is ALT-F3.

	4. The BOSS command will clear the screen and temporarily escape
	   to DOS when you see your boss coming so that you can execute
	   some DOS commands and look like you are working. When your boss
	   leaves, Inside Trader can be resumed from the point of departure
	   by entering the "exit" command from DOS. The "hot key" for this
	   command is ALT-F2.

	5. The COMPANY [letter] command will display the ticker symbols
	   for all companies whose name begins with "letter". The "hot key"
	   for this command is ALT-F1.

	6. If the number of shares is not specified in a BUY command, you
	   will be informed of the number of shares you can afford to buy,
	   then prompted for the number of shares you wish to buy.

	7. If the number of shares is not specified in a SELL command, you
	   will be informed of the number of shares that you own, then
	   prompted for the number of shares you wish to sell. Also, all
	   shares can be sold by entering SELL [company] ALL.

	8. The game is suspended with CTRL-NumLock instead of CTRL-S.
	   Pressing any key will resume operation.

	9. CTRL-P can be used to toggle the print option on and off,

	10. Inside Trader requires 256K bytes of RAM.


	Inside Trader was created by SoftServ Inc. of Seattle, Washington
