23.0 - SPITFIRE TECHNICAL REFERENCE INFORMATION
        -----------------------------------------------

            There are absolutely no plans whatsoever to release the source
        code for SPITFIRE.  However, we do feel some information may be of use
        to our Sysops to help them understand how SPITFIRE works.  If there is
        something you would like to know which is not covered in this
        documentation, please ask via Buffalo Creek's BBS (515)-225-8496.
        We will make the information available to you, if possible.

            There is certain information that is required for those interested
        in writing utilities and other third party type programs for SPITFIRE.
        In such an instance, please contact Buffalo Creek's BBS for information
        regarding the record structure information needed.  We will make the
        information available to you, if possible.

            When a caller goes through a Door or uses any of the Sysop
        configurable features available from each menu, SPITFIRE creates a
        simple text file named SFDOORS.DAT, SFMAIN.DAT, SFMESS.DAT, SFFILE.DAT,
        or SFSYSOP.DAT in the SPITFIRE HOME directory.  This text file contains
        necessary information for the caller to return to SPITFIRE.  The text
        file is erased when control is returned to SPITFIRE.
