INTRODUCTION
The information in this file is a direct replacement for the
TGDEV300 kit we released last year. The TGDEV300 kit is being
updated to reflect structural and procedural changes accumulated
since 2.99.g1 was first released last September. No major
structural changes have been made to previously documented files;
reserved space is all that has been used.
Those individuals who used the NODES.DAT/WHOSON.DAT structures as
'temporarily' documented by myself will have to update them (the
files have been combined into one large file).
Please refer to the file WHATSNEW.301 for a quick listing of all
known structural changes (i.e. what I've been able to document
since 2.99.g1 was released). Please read DEVEL301.DOC for
information regarding some of these fields (esp. User Password
Encryption).
C STRUCTURES (TELEGARD.H)
While I have not tested the C port (TELEGARD.H), I have run it
through the test cycle to ensure that the record sizes match those
as used with the Telegard Pascal (compiled) structures.
RECORDED STRUCTURES
I have included two extremely simple programs (TESTH.C and
TESTINC.PAS) which list the record sizes. The sizes listed by
these programs should be as follows:
Record Sizes (Telegard structures only!)
ConfigRec = 7076
SystemRec = 408
UserRec = 694
UserIdxRec = 39
IDIdxRec = 6
AreaIdxRec = 11
FAreaRec = 411
FileIdxRec = 21
FbRec = 145
FbExtRec = 257
DriveRec = 342
QueueRec = 137
MAreaRec = 380
MenuHdrRec = 575
MenuItemRec = 234
BbsListRec = 173
ArchiveRec = 347
GroupRec = 2781
EventRec = 1360
HistoryRec = 103
IemsiRec = 324
LanguageRec = 235
LCallersRec = 145
LevelsRec = 97
MacroRec = 968
ModemRec = 854
NetworkRec = 1076
NodesRec = 317
ProtRec = 330
ShortMsgRec = 165
SmacroRec = 1210
TimelogRec = 1060
VoteRec = 1174
THAT'S ALL FOLKS . . .
So thanks again for all your patience. We hope you enjoy this
Telegard release. While we've been through a number of gamma
versions, the release of these structures marks the end of my
development for 3.0. Now we move onto 3.1 . . .
