| 28 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|

| 29 | This information is not essential but if you know anything of these, please

| 46 | SAP heder conventions
|
|---|
| 47 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|---|
| 48 | The filenames must not be longer than 26 characters (plus .sap) e.g.:
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | 12345678901234567890123456.123
|
|---|
| 51 | Intel_Outside_Fractal_Part.sap - all right
|
|---|
| 52 | Jocky_Wilsons_Darts_Compendium.sap - wrong!
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | Because of compatibility reasons only characters 'A..Z', 'a..z', and '0..9'
|
|---|
| 55 | can be used in the filenames. All spaces must be replaced with underscore
|
|---|
| 56 | ("_"). The dash ("-") is also allowed but from no reason we don't use it :-)
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | All tags in SAP header must be UPPERCASE (e.g. AUTHOR, DATE). The field
|
|---|
| 59 | contents must be closed in quotation marks ("). There is one SPACE ( )
|
|---|
| 60 | between the tag and the quotation mark.
|
|---|
| 61 | Every line in the header must end with EOL ($0d $0a).
|
|---|
| 62 | For unknown information use this mark <?>.
|
|---|
| 63 | For more information about the SAP header see the file Sap.txt.
|
|---|
| 64 | Example:
|
|---|
| 65 |
|

| 67 | AUTHOR "Marek Badkowski (Bac)"
|
|---|

|
|---|

|
|---|
| 75 | song(s) from.
