Dropfile

A dropfile is a simple binary or text file used by a bulletin board system (BBS) to pass information about the BBS itself and the current user to an external BBS door.

Formats

Many different dropfile formats exist; most of these are application-specific. While there was never a "standard" dropfile, there were several formats that were commonly used. However, little documentation has survived for most of them. General formats are known, but specific values for certain fields or meanings for the actual fields have been lost with time.
