   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.
