Reference of Path/Filenames Created/Read by Synchronet BBS Software and Utils ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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.
