; AEGiS CoRP Battle Field - Data file structure
; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
;
; This file format may be freely used by anybody.
; Anybody may put new topics ([...]) provided that it doesn't disturb
; any other program that share those files
;
; This file structure is a good way to share datas on different users
; especially because the algorythm for the filename creation provide a pretty
; good way to make one file for one user without computing a CRC (available
; only to PPLC 3.0)

; All topics between brackets (ie : [eND]) are CASE SENSITIVE...
; There may be an unlimited number of msgs in the blocks [MeSSaGeS_WaiTiNG],
; [BRiBe_GiFT] and [DeCLaRaTioN].
;
; Blocks may be in random order... All sub-blocks must reside within it's
; main block ([BeGiN_DeCLaRaTioN] must be between [DeCLaRaTioNS] and [eND])
;
; Any block must be UNIQUE!
;
; The filename is built as follow :
;
; The name of the user must be uppercase without any trailing or leading
; space. Take now the 3 firsts letters of this string, and the 4 lasts...
; ie :
;
; VINCENT NEGRIER -> VINRIER
;
; Then add all ascii of each char that make the name and convert in hex...
; ie :
;
; VINCENT NEGRIER -> 1091 -> 443h
;
; End the filename with the result...
;
; ie :
;
; VINCENT NEGRIER -> VINRIER4.43
;
; This algorythm allow to have 2 users that have the same heading and
; trailing letters that have 2 different files
;
; All those files are in the DATA subdirectory
;
; In the AGSBF directory are those files :
;
; USER.LST -> List of all BBS users in MiXeD CaSe
; TOTAL.DAT -> # of users in USER.LST
; REGD.DAT -> List of all AGSBF users
; NUSERS.DAT -> # of users in REGD.DAT
; WAR.CFG -> Config file (see AGSBF.DOC)

; If you use PCB 15.2 and PPLC 3.01, you may change this piece of code into a

; Well, I think you have everything you need to start coding some nice addons
; for the battle field :) I hope this will give some work for people that
; dunno what to code anymore... :)
