No idea. never looked at the vision source.
Actually to make it cleaner I'd change it all around to either bitfields
or at least change AFF_xxx from something like 1<<x to enums and then a
function to determine the correct array to use, but that'd be a helluva
lot of recoding.

(note: I'd rather replace the hard-coded '4' with a define like:
#define NUM_AFF_ARRAYS 4 or something but anyway...
for(i=0;i<4;i++) AFF_FLAGS(ch, i) = PFILE_AFF_FLAGGED or whatever.
It'd need to match the macros above.

I use a database for mine, but it'd be trivial.
(repeat for 1,2,3)
(pseudo-code from memory)
write:
fbprintf(fl, "Afff:\n");
for(i=0;i<4;i++) fbprintf(fl, %Ld\n", AFF_FLAGS(ch, i));
read:
if str_cmp(tag, 'Afff') {
i = 0;
while(i < 4) {
fbgetline(fl, line);
AFF_FLAGS(ch, i++) = atol(line);
}
}
Of course, you could also define them as unsigned long long int's if
your compiler supports it and use 64 bits/flag, but that was discussed
at length in other threads.
