The CALLERS log is a random access text file with a record length of 64 bytes. The following layout is specified in a "byte offset" format such that the first field begins at offset 0. Note that strings are not NULL terminated and that the length specified for the string is full number of useable and storeable bytes. All strings are padded with spaces to fill the entire field. Offset Type Length Description ------ ------ ------ ----------- 0 str 62 The actual text written to the log 62 str 2 Carriage Return / Line Feed characters While the each record is strictly formatted to 64 bytes each making it a random access file - the file may be TYPE'd to the screen at a DOS prompt due to the inclusion of the carriage return and line feed characters at the end of each record. PCBoard, when displaying the callers log, takes advantage of the random access nature of the file format to be able to display the file in reverse order.
