Format of the INITFILE:

<port number> <no. of areas> <atmos on> <logging_on> <allow new> <mess life>
<room name> <link> <status>
.
.
.
.

The port number is the number of the port the talker runs on.
The no. of areas is the number of areas you have defined (max 26)
Atmos on is 1 or 0 depending on whether you want the atmospherics on or not.
Ditto above for system logging.
If allow new = 1 then new id's can be created else if 0 they can't.
Mess life is how many days messages remain on the message boards befor being
automatically erased.

You then define the room names, their links to other rooms (using letters) and
their status.

Status = 0 - room can be set by uses to either private or public
         1 - room is fixed to public
         2 - room is fixed to private (ie for sysop (Wizards & gods) only use)
