hey.  i don't know, i haven't touched any of the playerfile code and i kinda
don't want to.  i kinda want to use my own files for a lot of things...and
yes they will be binary.  i forget to say before i'm using circle-3.1.  i
just want a deeper understand of how/when/where playerfiles are read/written.
where should i be looking?  i tried to trace what happens when a player logs
in...can anyone kinda loosely describe the steps?

thanks,
