/*
** This is the structure definition(s) for the system.BBS file. This
** file is used/modified by the SL-BBS itself.
**
** At the beginning, you will find a series of small structure
** definitions. These are used in the actual SYSFILE structure.
**
** At the end, you will find a small function named "xstrings". This
** function will translate the Pascal strings into C strings.
**
** All structure fields (with the exception of the strings) are C
** compatable. The only "surprise" for you will be in the first records
** in the file. The first record is a dummy record containing system wide
** information. The 2nd record is for the 1st node.
**
** Note that if no user is logged in, the "logged user name" will be
** valid (will be the name of the previous user), but will have a length
** of 0x00.
**
** Good luck and let me know if you have any questions or comments
** regarding the layout of this file.
