Ventisrv fileformat

Ventisrv file format

A few minutes ago I added a document to the ventivac hg repository (doc/ventisrv-fileformat.ms, a troff -ms file) about the file format used by ventisrv. The format is not very complex, the description should be enough to recover data in case of problems (such as disk failures, or bugs–though note that ventisrv will only ever append data to the index/data file, never overwrite it). I also made the file available as ventisrv-fileformat.ps (original postscript) and ventisrv-fileformat.pdf (converted to pdf).

Now getting back to finishing the last bits!
