There is now standard for extra information in MAT file. In your case
aoleg1 you can add the line:

    ; [Variation "NackGammon"]

at the top of the MAT file.

Here are the different elements that XG will recognize if they are placed
on the top of the file.

    ; [Site "eXtreme Gammon"]
    ; [Match ID "-246338669"]
    ; [Player 1 "XG Roller+"]
    ; [Player 2 "Xavier Dufaure de Citres"]
    ; [Player 1 Elo "2260.00/400"]
    ; [Player 2 Elo "1955.94/281"]
    ; [EventDate "2009.12.16"]
    ; [EventTime "09.16"]
    ; [Variation "NackGammon"]
    ; [Unrated "Off"]
    ; [Crawford "On"]
    ; [Jacoby "Off"]
    ; [Beaver "Off"]
    ; [CubeLimit "1024"]
    ; [Currency "USD"]
    ; [Stake "30.00"]
    ; [Rake "1.00"]
    ; [Event "Great tourney"]
    ; [Round "Round 2"]

most are pretty self explanatory, however:

* Elo is stored as "Elo/Exp"

* Variation can be "Backgammon", "NackGammon", "HyperGammon" or
"LongGammon", however only the first 2 can be analyzed.

* Currency can be USD (US dollar) ,EUR (Euro) ,GBP (UK pound), JPY
(Japanese Yen), CHF (Swiss franc), CAD (Canadian dollar). If you want to
add more check the file "c:\program files\extreme gammon\currency.ini". the
Currency should appear before the Stake or Rake line

* if no matchID is found it will assign one based on the file timestamp. it
means that modifying the file and reimporting it will create a different
entry in the profile.

* Rake: in the above example it means that the winner gets $30-$1=$29 and
the loser -$30-$1=-$31. (the word "Fee" can be use rather than "Rake")

* [CubeLimit "1"] can be used to make the session cubeless.

* Date and time are stored as "yyyy.mm.dd" and "HH.mm" (HH is 24 hour
based)
