====== EDITOR.INF ======

The ''EDITOR.INF'' file is a drop file that can be created by BBS software to pass information to an external message editor.


===== Format =====

The original ''EDITOR.INF'' file format comes from WWIV BBS software and its related message editors (e.g. WWIVedit).

The file is just a simple text file with CRLF-terminated lines:
