I used to play this game back in the day when you had 4 hours of internet
connection and then you had to wait till the next day. Back then there was
a program named simply "Trade wars helper" that was a text based thing like
your Swoth. I will say it wouldn't be hard to write one again if it don't
already exist since I see perl libraries for interacting with trade wars.
If you search or trade wars helper you will find more programs that might do
the trick but since I don't play anymore I can't tell you which one would be
best for Jaws. If you had an old MSDos box and Asap you could run "trade
wars helper" and be in heaven.

Hi all --
My nephew has been trying to get me to join in a game of trade wars that
they have running on his server. He thought it would be accessible since I
can get the data in ascii form, but there is a gui interface to trade wars
called SWATH that could cut down on the verbage -- i.e., using the
interactive, line interface I have to sit through all the verbage of stats
every time I make a move.
Question: I hear a lot on the various lists about MUD's that are
accessible -- has anyone on the list ever played trade wars, and have you
used SWATH?
I have connected to my nephew's server and tried using the line/ascii
interface but that is quite slow. I have also downloaded SWATH.exe, and am
going to install it, but I wanted to run the question by the list to see if
anyone else can comment.
TIA and happy hacking.
