    34 =head1 NAME

    36 B<as-events> - accounting system events document format

    38 =head1 DESCRIPTION

    40 The B<as-gui> application takes input from the user and may store its data to

    41 a file on the local filesystem. Among other functions, a user can enter time,

    42 amounts, remarks, and other values. This data tuple is termed an I<event>, and

    43 may either be transmitted to a B<AS> server or stored to a local file. Should

    44 it be stored to a local file, the file name is arbitrary and is shown in the

    45 title bar of B<as-gui>. Typically, the file is called F<events.as>. In most

    46 cases the postfix B<.as> is appended to the file name, although this behaviour

    47 can be turned on or off through the user preferences.

    49 =head1 FILE FORMAT

    51 The B<as-events> file contains ASCII text. The first line consists of an

    52 identifier to associate the file type and version. Following text may contain

    53 white space, comments, and data tuples.
