Hello

I install Tradewars using 8 ³ Auto-install New External Programs and I have
to remove it. When I run 8 ³ Auto-install New External Programs again the program is no longer available. Is there a way to fix it please?

Thanks
Phil

The number "8" in that context is a dynamic menu option - it's not going to be the same for everyone else as it is for you and your BBS.

Anyway, if your configuration (i.e. SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs) does not contain a program with an internal code of "TW2", then the auto-installation script will provide you with the "Trade Wars 2 - 500 Sectors" option again. Double-check your configuration for another "TW2" program and either change the internal code or remove it.

Whatever you do, don't tell anybody what you did wrong originally, and
then what you did to fix it.

That might help somebody else in the future, and you wouldn't want to do
that or anything.

What? That's crazy talk. I mean, who even does that? That's the kind of thing that is so revolutionary, it would blow peoples' minds, and I don't the world is ready for this yet.
