I figure it has to be simpler to define a detailed system using a text editor and cutting and pasting a fair bit.

I'm trying, howeve, to get my head around the syntax.

I guess the alpha numerics before the Description field refer to:
- the call
- the disposition
- the min length
- the max length
- the possible outcomes

...for example. Here's a line of code I've taken from an off-the-shelf FD file.

601SP2D=YYYYYYY508Two-way reverse Drury. Four card spade suit, 10-12 support points.

What does 601 refer to?
1SP2D I guess is the auction
what does YYYYYYY and 508 refer to?

thanks in advance
