      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 1:229/426.52 e6e7463d       TZUTC: -0700       I'm currently writing a tool to read through the users.dat file (to get       security levels and flags) using Free Pascal and am running into an issue       where two things ae happening.               First I'm noticing that user names that are less than 8 characters are getting       some piece of the word "unknown" appended to them. For example, a username of       "Trip" looks like "Tripown" when I pull it from the file (The BBS reads it       properly).               Second, when I loop through the file using the structure g00r00 has provided       (thank you! :) ), it seems that the byte count gets thrown off by one right       after the Birthday field. Which she is               Any help would greatly appreciated.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/05/03 (Windows/64)        * Origin: The Pot O'Gold - bbs.thepotogold.net:4888 (1:229/426.52)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 424 426 452 550 664 700 981 1016 1017 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 307 317 400 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280       PATH: 229/426           |
