DOOR.SYS
External Program Data File (a.k.a. drop file), DOOR.SYS file format.
This file should normally be created in the current node's directory
(example: C:\sbbs\node1). The current node's directory can be easily passed
to external programs via command line (using the %n command line specifier
in SCFG) or more easily retrieved by external programs be reading the
SBBSNODE environment variable.
The DOOR.SYS is a plain text file consisting of CRLF-delimited lines, parsed one line at a time. The original format consisted of 31 lines while “newer” DOOR.SYS files may contain 52 lines, for an additional 21 fields of data.
