The files listed in this document are each of a specific format. Many problems
may occur if a file is incorrectly modified by a person or program. Some of
the files below have a relatively self-explanatory format, while most are much
more cryptic and require the use of a technical specification and/or utility
program to decode or modify. The sysop manual defines the format of some of the
files (GURU.DAT for example) while some of the more technical file format
definitions are available in SBBSDEFS.ZIP and SMB_*.ZIP.
