The following information documents the order in which the fields of the
PCBOARD.DAT file are layed out. All fields are written in an ASCII text
format with a carriage return/line feed after each field making one field
per line in the file.
On questions of a YES or NO nature in PCBSETUP the values are stored in the
PCBOARD.DAT file as a "-1" for YES or a "0" for NO.
| The PCBOARD.DAT file is always 'added to' with each new revision of PCBoard.
| A few lines are no longer used, but none of them are replaced or redefined.
| New changes are always additions at the bottom of the file. The following
| table provides a breakdown as to what versions of PCBoard the 'new additions'
| apply:
|
| New Lines Introduced in Version
| --------- ---------------------
| 1 - 150 14.0 thru 14.2
| 151 - 198 14.5
| 199 - 266 15.0
| 267 - 272 15.1
| 273 - 318 15.2
| 319 - 323 15.21
| 324 - 348 15.22
| 349 15.3
A program that is written to READ this file should only read those lines
which it needs and should check line number 1 (the version identification)
to be sure that it is compatible with the software being used.
A program that is written to WRITE to this file should first read in ALL of
the existing lines and copy back out the ones that go unchanged. Note that
the total number of lines may INCREASE without notice. Therefore you should
write the program to continue reading until an EOF (end of file) condition
occurs and then write out all of the lines. This will preserve compatibility
with future changes in the PCBOARD.DAT file.
