PCBOARD.DAT Reference Guide
Compiled and edited by
Scott Swaine
This is Public Domain material!
DESCRIPTION:
-----------
The files contained in this archive 'PCBDATRF.ZIP' are a compilation
of information that I have culminated from many sources. They are an
attempt to define the file formats of the PCBOARD.DAT file used by
PCBoard BBSes in their configuration setup. This reference includes
the format definitions for both version 12.1 and 14.0 of PCBoard.
There are three files in this archive, PCBDAT.REF, PCBDAT.OTL and
PCBDATRF.DOC (this file). The file PCBDAT.REF is an ASCII dump, or
more specifically, a 'block save' of the data in the file PCBDAT.OTL.
It may be viewed online or printed for an offline quick-reference.
The file PCBDAT.OTL is in SideKick Plus outline format. This is the
original 'work' file I was using when creating this reference. In
order to use it, you will need either SideKick Plus or some kind of
conversion program to convert it to a format that you CAN use.
This archive is normally distributed with the GT Power to PCBoard
door conversion system 'GTRPCBxx.ZIP'. But it may also be
distributed separately for those who need the reference, but not the
whole package. However, the reverse is NOT allowed. That is,
GTRPCBxx.ZIP may NOT be distributed without this file in it, as it is
a part of that package.
NOTICE:
------
This file, and the information included in it, I hereby make
available as Public Domain material. No fees whatsoever may be
assessed for the distribution of this file. No fees may be assessed
for specific access to this file on any public or private access
online system or software distribution service. And furthermore, no
fees may be assessed for any subroutines, subprograms, or other such
parts of programs that were made using this information and are being
distributed indivually. However, this does not include a complete
software package that, as a whole, is being distributed and has a fee
associated with it, so long as said fee is assessed for the whole
software package and not specifically for any part of it made from
this information. All in all, the bottom line is, you can use it,
you can give it away to as many friends/relatives/enemies as you feel
like, but you're not allowed to make any money off of this thing.
Other than this little detail, I hope that you find a use for this
reference, whether it helps you in any future projects you may have
or if it just helps to clear up what this stuff is all about. Keep
in mind, though, that this information is subject to change without
notice by Clark Development Company, maker of PCBoard (tm).
