This file contains the information about items in transit. Each record is 8 bytes long and is fixed at 100 entries thus a fixed size of 800. Each record contains a 'line' of the transfer screen, hence the 100 line limit as described in [[Known Bugs#Transfer_Limit_cash_eater| known bugs]].

==Structure==

* Offset '''0 (1 Byte)''' - Base the item is coming from (as indexed in [[LOC.DAT]]). 255 if the item is purchased and thus no base of origin

* Offset '''1 (1 Byte)''' - Base the item is going to (again from LOC.DAT). 255 should not be used here

* Offset '''2 (1 Byte)''' - Hours left in transit. '''NOTE:''' Setting this to 0 will make the game think it has been completed already

* Offset '''3 (1 Byte)''' - Item Type. This also affects what can be used in the next offset. Possible/observed values:
** 0 - Item (such as [[Laser Rifle]] or even craft weapons like [[Laser Cannon]])
** 1 - Craft
** 2 - Soldier
** 3 - Scientists
** 4 - Engineers
** 5 - Alien (those in containment)

* Offset '''4 (1 Byte)''' - Reference number. The meaning of this value depends on the above Item Type value.
** ''Type 0 - Item'' Index to the item as listed in [[BASE.DAT]] (Excluding Scientists and Engineers) ([[#Item List|See Below]])
** ''Type 1 - Craft'' Index to the craft type as used in [[GEODATA.DAT]], that is 0:Skyranger, 1:Lightning, etc. ([[#Ship List|See Below]])
** ''Type 2 - Soldier'' Index to [[SOLDIER.DAT]]
** ''Type 3 - Scientist'' Always 0, presumed ignored
** ''Type 4 - Engineers'' Always 0, presumed ignored
** ''Type 5 - Alien'' Reference to [[ASTORE.DAT]] (whose entry will have the base set to 255)

* Offset '''6 (1 Byte)''' - Quantity. Also the entry is ignored if this value is 0, thus there can be invalid data in the other entries but they will always have this byte set to 0.

Offset 5 is always 0, though [http://www.stonepool.com/xcom/hacking/transfer.html| Hatfarm] has tried setting it to 1, but with weird results. Possible that it is the high byte for the refense at offset 4.

==Ship List==
Same numbers that are used to identify the ship used in combat in [[GEODATA.DAT]]. For use in craft transfers use only human crafts. Otherwise the game will crash if you try to 'launch' an alien ship.

2 - Avenger
3 - Interceptor
4 - Firestorm

ALIEN
5 - Small Scout
6 - Medium Scout
