The FTP site for Galactic Trader version 5.33, as well as Gigabucks, is
pomona.claremont.edu (GT is in the util:[anonymous.games.gal-trader] subdirectory). Thanks to Seann for making this available.
For the uninitiated, GT is a multi-player, quasi-realtime, space trading/combat game where players compete to achieve wealth, rank and status through sucess in combat and commerce. Galactic Trader requires a VT100 or compatible terminal and VAX/VMS 5.2 or greater.

In Gal-Trader 5.33, if you set the auto-missile-purchase flag on, the when you
land, you get a message like "-.2 missile purchased ...". I think this is
a minor bug and can be easily fixed. It doesn't appear in the older versions.
The cause of this I believe is that you try to remove the additional 10 credit
charge when the auto flag is on. Thanks!
