Since i can't seem to find any good information on the formats
of BBS drop files, I have made this list of a bunch of different
formats that i've been able to discover on my own, or from text
that i was able to find.
As you can see, this file is quite .. small ... so, If you have any
information that you'd like to add to this file, PLEASE contact me, so I
can add it into the next release of the COMMIO kit. Enjoy.. . .
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
■ The only info i don't know about ANY of these drop files are, what BBSes
use which dropfile(s). I know a couple, but not nearly enough.. . .
■ Remember, the order of the fields in which they are placed in this text is
the order they appear in the drop files.. . .
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

■ DORINFOx.DEF
■ BBS: VBBS, ...
■ NOTES: I've heard that there are actually 2 different "versions" of this
this dropfile. I think the only difference in the 2 are the way
the ANSIon variable is stored in the file. I'm not sure, ...
when i find out, i'll fix the code to detect which one is being
used, and set the variable correctly.
■ FIELDS:
o The "x" in the filename represents the NODE # the user is on. (0..9)
o BBS Name - String
o Sysop's first name - String
o Sysop's last name - String (Line will be BLANK if the sysop's name
has no lastname)
o Comport - Byte (the word 'COM' will be in front of the
comport number that the user is on.
ie: "COM2" [w/o quotes])
o Speed & Char format - This shows the users BAUD rate and Parity info.
The first number is the BAUD rate (ie: 38400),
then the word "BAUD" (seperated by a space)
[w/o quotes], then the Parity info (parity,
databits,stopbits). The entire line might look
like this: "38400 BAUD,N,8,1" [w/o quotes].
o 0 In my experience this has always been set to
a zero. I don't know what it represents.
o User's first name - String
o User's last name - String (line will be BLANK if the user's alias/
name doesn't have a lastname).
o User's location - String (ie: "Silver Spring, MD" [w/o quotes])
o Graphic mode - byte (1 if ANSI, 0 if not)
o Security level - byte? (you might want to make this field a word
or integer; since i dont know how high security
levels can get with different types of BBS
software)
o Time left on BBS - word (time left on BBS in minutes)
o Using Fossil? - shortint (signed byte) (-1 if fossil, 0 if not)
