See FVMM.DOC for installation assistance and description of FVMM.

This file is not used by PCBFV.  It is used by FVMM (File View Maintenance
Manager) in PCBFiler, the PCBoard FILE DIRectory utility.  This file must be
edited with a text editor. The first seven lines above comprise the FVMM.CNF
file.  You may leave the following instructions in for reference purposes.

LINE  #1 - This is the location where PCBFV.EXE is.  JUST the location.

LINE  #2 - This is the PCBFV configuration file for PCBFV to use in its /L
local mode.  NOTE: If your PCBFV.CNF file(s) contain @node@ macros in the
"work location of extracted file" field in FVSETUP you must create a special
configuration file for use in the FVMM mode which fully specifies the "work
location" (with no @macros@).  You could call this file FILER.CNF and install
it in LINE #2 of FVMM.CNF (instead of PCBFV.CNF as shown above). ALL PCBFV
configuration files must reside with PCBFV.EXE.

LINE  #3 - Enter a Y (yes) to make FVMM swap itself to EMS or disk during
the PCBFV, FVMMGIF, FVMMTEST, and drop to DOS  shells.  FVMM will first try
to swap to EMS, then to disk if EMS is unavailable.  Swapping is highly
recommended as FVMM is removed from memory while running the above files.

LINE  #4 - This is the location AND name of your DOWNLOAD.TXT file which is
created by PCBoard. Some Sysops move or rename DOWNLOAD.TXT on a daily basis
for other maintenance purposes. In this case, place the location and name of
your "all-time" DOWNLOAD.TXT here.  This is used by FVMM to obtain a file
transfer history. If you are using the PCBFX door from YCS, you may substitute
the location and file name of PCBFX.DAT for DOWNLOAD.TXT for instant history
retrieval.

LINE #5 - This is your FVMM registration number.  FVMM will display an
[unregistered copy] message along with a delay each time it exits if PCBFV
has not been registered.

LINE  #6  -  This is the location (only) of PCBSM.CLR, the color definition
file for PCBFiler, PCBSM, PCBSetup, etc.  If line #6 of FVMM.CNF is blank,
FVMM will look for PCBSM.CLR in the current directory.  If line 6 of FVMM.CNF
is NONE or PCBSM.CLR is not found, default colors are used.

Line #7 - Enter a PASSWORD (up to 12 characters) to use for the FVMM shell to
DOS function.  Leave this field blank if a password is not desired.  This
would usually only be used if PCBFiler is made available to remote Co-Sysops
(through a program like DOORWAY) to prevent them from using this function.

Line #8 - Enter a Y (for Yes) to disable FVMM from returning time-slices
to a multi-tasker such as DESQview, OS/2 or Windows.
