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:
Line | Descripton |
---|---|
1 | Message subject/title (up to 70 characters for Synchronet) |
2 | Message destination (i.e. user name or “All”) |
3 | Author's user number |
4 | Author's name (or “Anonymous”) |
5 | Current user name/alias (usually the same as the Author's name) |
6 | Author's security level (0-99) |
7 | flags (number) - not used by Synchronet |
8 | unsure - not used by Synchronet |
9 | Author's language preference - not used by Synchronet |
