Installation
════════════
The installation is fairly simple, when you unpacked this archive you
hopefully got five files;
1. fbrowser.MEX, xgetch.mh go in your MEX directory.
compile the file: fbrowser.mex! No extra heap needed.
2. fbrowser.mec goes in your MISC directory and
be sure to mecca it.
3. FILE_ID.DIZ & FBROWSER.DOC - Well, put them were you keep all the junk. :)
4. Now you need to modify your MENUS.CTL to read something like this:
MEX M\fbrowser Demoted "File titles"
5. SILT MAX
6. Be sure to do steps 1. and 2. even when Fbrowser was previously
installed.
7. If you want the file date to be in form dd/mm/yy, then edit
fbrowser.mex (somewhere arond line 193) and uncomment (i.e.
erase the '// ddmmyy' from that line) and comment the line below
(i.e. put a '//' in front of it, and of course the 's are not added).
8. Run Maximus and check it out!
*****************************************
Lines in the files.bbs file which have a
'-' or a ' ' in the first column will be treated as comment lines.
If column 1 and column 2 are both '-',
then the next line in the files.bbs file will start a
new page in fbrowser's display screen.

I use one line per file type files.bbs file.
02/29/96 Fbrowser will read the files.bbs files found on my
CDs (which it would not do before). The file area
Type must be designated CD. See Maximus docs.
03/02/96 Will use standard file listings when user is TTY.
When I tried the program found in fl08.zip, I found that I had several
areas too large for that program, as it read the whole files.bbs
file. I have made the program read from files.bbs only when it
needs a new page. Also I have beautified the output, I think.
