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. Blank lines in the files.bbs files will cause the display to stop there.
7. Had to change the 'q' for quit because it conflicted with 'PageDown'.
8. Be sure to do steps 1. and 2. even when Fbrowser was previously
installed.
9. Run Maximus and check it out!

I use one line per file type files.bbs file.
02/29/96 Fbrowser will now skip blanklines in files.bbs and will
also read the files.bbs files found on my CDs (which it would not
do before).
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.
