CALLINFO.BBS

The CALLINFO.BBS information we have is incomplete, so Citadel might not write this file completely correctly. This file is a text file, with each field taking a line followed by a carriage return/line feed (ASCII 13 and ASCII 10) combination. The information that Citadel writes is:

    The name of the currently logged in user, with all color codes removed.

    The last line of the user's mailing address that has data in it, or blank if no lines have data.
Security Level
    The number 5 for problem users, 30 for normal users, 80 for Aides, and 100 for Sysops.
Time left
    The time left in the user's accounts, in minutes. In an attempt to keep from overflowing other software's limits, no value larger than 546 minutes is written.
