Revised TOP FIle Naming Schemes
All temporary .TOP files are being renamed to .TCH so there is less confusion
over which files can be deleted, and so the temporary files can be found
easier. "TCH" stands for "TOP Chat", thus "TCH File" means "TOP Chat File"
which is pretty much accurate.
The following files have undergone naming structure changes. The 5 chars for a
node space allows up to 32767 nodes to be safely used.
MIDX###.TOP ---> MIX#####.TCH
This is done simply to shorten the name.
NODE###.TOP ---> MSG#####.TCH
This is done to shorten the name as well as give a more accurate
description of what the files are for.
CHR#####.TCH
This is not used yet, but will be the new Char By Char data file, described
in NEWCHAT.TXT. The reason for the name is obvious.
PRV#####.TCH
This is a Private Chat data file. The format is a prototype of the method
described in NEWCHAT.TXT. The reason for the name is obvious.
EPR#####.TCH
This is an Entered Private Chat file, and is used as a flag when a node is
in a private chat. The reason for the name is obvious.
