I'd like to discuss how to convert Turbo Pascal structures to PB format...
Such as:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ExitRecord = record (* EXITINFO.BBS *)
                 BaudRate        : Integer;
                 SysInfo         : SysInfoRecord;
                 TimeLogInfo     : TimeLogRecord;
                 UserInfo        : UserRecord;
                 EventInfo       : EventRecord;
                 NetMailEntered  : Boolean;
                 EchoMailEntered : Boolean;
                 LoginTime       : String[5];
                 LoginDate       : String[8];
                 TmLimit         : Integer;
                 LoginSec        : LongInt;
                 Credit          : LongInt;
                 UserRecNum      : Integer;
                 ReadThru        : Integer;
                 PageTimes       : Integer;
                 DownLimit       : Integer;
                 WantChat        : Boolean;
                 GosubLevel      : Byte;
                 GosubData       : GosubDataType;
                 Menu            : String[8];
                 ScreenClear     : Boolean;
                 MorePrompts     : Boolean;
                 GraphicsMode    : Boolean;
                 ExternEdit      : Boolean;
                 ScreenLength    : Integer;
                 MNP_Connect     : Boolean;
                 ChatReason      : String[48];
                 ExternLogoff    : Boolean;
                 ANSI_Capable    : Boolean;
                 CurrentLanguage : Byte;
                 ExtraSpace      : Array[1..200] of Byte;
               end;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the best way to handle this?  Caveats?  Weirdness to watch out for?
Without giving the store away, can someone here gimme some examples
using the above structures?  Just tips and code snippets, naturally.
I don't want anyone to program for me.  But I need to get started
and I don't know where to begin, really.
Thanks to anyone who can help me, here!
(These happen to be the structures to QuickBBS 2.80 EXITINFO.BBS drop file)
