Been poking around some DAT files and found some more info ( can't believe I missed it first time around ) do let me know if this is news to you indy ( also I've only got two DAT files to play with atm so I'm hoping this is applicable to all DATs )

I've been taking a look at the filename/user object and I've dissected it this far:

1. Filename. This is a variable length string of the filename as it is stored on the source's computer

2. 30 byte array. This appears to be another kind of signature or some such. Originally I mistook it for uninitialised memory/hard disk space but I noticed it is identical for every user

3. 16 byte array. Still not sure what this is. I can say unlike the previous array it does differ from user to user

4. 95 byte user name array. The username, unlike the filename appears to be fixed at 95 bytes.

And of course 95 + 16 + 30 = 141 a value which indy has already quoted to me.

That's all for now, I'm checking out the end of the file values which we haven't been able to identify yet
