data block for the last saved commander Deep dive: Commander save files The competition codeContext: See this variable in context in the source code References: No direct references to this variable in this source file
Contains the last saved commander data, with the name at NA% and the data at NA%+8 onwards. The size of the data block is given in NT% (which also includes the two checksum bytes that follow this block). This block is initially set up with the default commander, which can be maxed out for testing purposes by setting Q% to TRUE. The commander's name is stored at NA%, and can be up to 7 characters long (the DFS filename limit). It is terminated with a carriage return character, ASCII 13. The offset of each byte within a saved commander file is also shown as #0, #1 and so on, so the kill tally, for example, is in bytes #71 and #72 of the saved file. The related variable name from the current commander block is also shown.

Configuration variable Q% = _MAX_COMMANDER
Set Q% to TRUE to max out the default commander, FALSE for the standard default commander
