    You can send scripts to txtelite.exe with a command such as txtelite < spears.txt but take care to ensure that a final "quit" is present in the file. The drug- and fur-running Commander Spears submitted by Christian Pinder, achieves 5016 CR in just 23 commands. Another wicked peddlar of alien narctoics, Commander Sinclair , submitted by Duane McDonnell, achieves 1001201 CR with just 632 hyperspace jumps.

    McDonnell has made the treesearch program he used to generate this (suboptimal) script available; it might proove useful for nonplayer trader AI and player help.
