RESULT.ED
RESULT.ED
is the name of a drop file that an external text editor may leave for the BBS to read and use after the editor has completed creating or editing a text file (typically a message). The filename is traditionally all-caps, but Synchronet supports result.ed
as well.
Format
The RESULT.ED
is just simple text file, with lines normally CRLF terminated (though LF-terminated lines often work too).
WWIV BBS software and its related message editors (e.g. WWIVedit) supported a 2-line RESULT.ED
file. Synchronet supports an additional (newly-defined) 3rd line.
Line | Description |
---|---|
1 | Anonymous (1 for true, 0 for false) - unused by Synchronet |
2 | Message subject |
3 | Editor details (e.g. full name, version/revision, date of build or release) |
