g00r00,

Did the following record type change from A36 to A38 by chance, seems to only and always read back 1 and never 0 if turned off.

MScanRec = Record { <Message Base Path> *.SCN }
NewScan : Byte; { Include this base in new scan? }
QwkScan : Byte; { Include this base in qwk scan? }
End;

Thanks/Cheers!

Yep, that record is wrong. The format is:

RecMessageScan = Record // *.SCN for message bases
UserID : LongInt;
NewScan : Byte;
QwkScan : Byte;
End;

RecFileScan = Record
UserID : LongInt;
NewScan : Byte;
LastNew : Cardinal;
End;

What are you using that is reading this information? Are you properly searching for a match of the user's UID to get the record?

I do customizations for almost everything on my system this one was for a lightbar version of the set scan areas which is now working after mentioning the record change. I read this using MPL to read the .scn file(s). :)

Okay just know that they are stored differently now, not just the format has changed but the way they are stored did too.

It actually looks like a standard data file am I correct when I state this?
I will see about reading this file tonight to properly fix the lightbar
version of the set scan area. :P

You have to search for the user's UID now. In the past it was stored by
record location of the user in user.dat.
