=0D=0AI'm working on a PilotManager[1] conduit for pilot-db. There=0D=0As=
eem to=0D=0Abe a few fields in the appinfo block that aren't documented i=
n the=0D=0Amost recent db_docs.html. I wonder if someone could fill in=0D=
=0Athe blanks=0D=0Afor me.=0D=0A=0D=0AThere seems to be a chunk type 2 in=
 the appinfo block. It=0D=0Aappears to have=0D=0Athree UInt16 values foll=
