Next Epoch matriX User System
Third Party Development Kit
(c) Copyright 1996 Intuitive Vision Software. All Rights Reserved.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
This developer's kit has been designed to help third party developers in their
quest to build applications for the Next Epoch matriX User System (Nexus)
Bulletin Board Software.
This version is the pre-release version. It is not complete at this time,
but will be developed more thoroughly as Nexus nears final release.
If you have any questions concerning any of the file structures, or other
help regarding developing Nexus-specific applications, the best method to
have your questions answered is to become a member of IVnet and to join the
IVN_NEXUS support conference. If this is not available to you, you may
contact us via one of the other means outlined in CONTACT.DOC.
FILES IN THIS PACKAGE
The following files should be included in this package, and the package should
have a valid RAR security envelope from Intuitive Vision Software. If one or
more of the files is missing, or the security envelope is missing, you may
always obtain the latest version of the Development Kit at PCsource BBS.
It may be file requested (FREQed) using the magic name NXDEV from IVnet
411:411/0 or Fidonet 1:115/583, or may be downloaded first call from the BBS
itself. See CONTACT.DOC for telephone numbers.

DEVELOPMENT NOTES
This section will be small in this version of the Development Kit, but it will
grow as time goes on. One important thing that I realize that you must know
is how the files are named. You will notice in the NEXUS.INC file that all
the files are listed with their names. Some of the names have a number of
'x' characters in them. This is how the node-specific filenames work:
If there is 'xxxx' in the first 8 characters (such as USERxxxx.DAT), this is
the node number, padded out to 4 characters with 0's. Example: USER0001.DAT
If there is 'xxx' in the extension (such as INUSE.xxx), this is the node
number padded to 3 characters with 0's, with 1000 being 000. Example:
INUSE.001, INUSE.000
