Hi everyone,

This document (and an example MECCA file for Maximus) will be in the final 
releases of my doors from now on.

CHDOOR.DAT Dropfile Specification v1.0
Developed by Sean Dennis
======================================
I had originally developed CHDOOR.DAT for use with my DOS-based BBS doors
that I used Tim Strike's excellent FKFOSSIL door kit to write them with.  

This text-based dropfile is really custom-written for my doors but could
be used with other doors.

The specifics:

Line 1: User's first and last name (String[35])
        
Line 2: User's alias (String[35])
        * I don't use aliases on my BBS so I just write the
          user's real name in this line.
        
Line 3: User's numerical security level (Longint)

Line 4: User's city and state (String[30])
        * This line is optional, however, there still must be a
          blank line in the dropfile as my doors expect a line
          to be there.  I normally will write the user's city
          in the line.
        
Line 5: User's time remaining in seconds (<=32767) (Longint)
        * My doors will correct this number if it's larger
          than 32767 (roughly 527 minutes).

Line 6: User's graphics (0=TTY; 1=ANSI) (Byte)

Line 7: BBS Name (String[35])

Line 8: BBS node number in use (Byte)
