This document contains a description for the format of several TouchNet related files. These file formats are subject to change without notice.
All open checks when stored are assigned a file, with the name being the 4 digit CheckID (Padded with 0's) and the .CHK extension in the \Checks directory. This file is created with a proprietary binary model. Below is a table listing the variables found in the file. The type and #Bytes indicate how to read the variable. The Offset indicates the position in the file that the information can be found.
Integers and Long Integers are stored in LSB,MSB order. Strings are padded with spaces. All dollar amounts are stored as integers, in pennies format. To display simply divide by 100.

The purpose of Checks.DAT is to serve as a quick
look-up or index for all open checks. The information stored in this file, is for
reference only, as the .CHK file contains the information that is actually retrieved with
a check. The secondary purpose of this file, is to insure that a check is in use on only
one node at a time. For this sake, a field called 'Node' will contain the name of the node
that has the check, or '________' if it is not in use. The Checks.DAT file will grow as
new checks are added. When a check is removed, it's record is replaced by all spaces
(character 32) and a right justified '0' in the CheckID field. This tells TouchNet that
this space is available to be reclaimed for another check.
Each record is 150 bytes. Within the record, each field is followed by a space (character
32). All numeric fields are stored as strings, ready to be displayed without modification.
Here is the record format:
