The players file stores specific information about each player the robot encounters during the robot's existance. The format of the players file is as follows: 1) One line that is ignored [the title line, for readability] 2) Lines containing the following information: a) name b) status [how favorably the robot will react to a player] c) verbose flag [if 1, commands are responded to verbosely] d) ignore flag [1 tells the robot to ignore the player, in case the player becomes really obnoxious] e) command flag [1 tells the robot that the player can tell the robot special commands] f) owner flag [1 tells the robot that the player has special capabilities that normal 'commanders' don't have.] There is an example startup players file with the distribution.
