- If you've gone through the frustrating experience setting up Stanley
- Sheff's FBRAIN on WWIV, here is some help!!!
-
- I did some considerable playing around with it trying different
- combinations until I stumbled across the proper method.
-
- Here's what you need to do!
-
- Since Fbrain uses a lot of memory, it is necessary to do some memory
- tricks, and I have included a program called SHROOM that I needed to
- use when running PKInsert. SHROOM will take care of memory swaps and
- shrinking. The Fbrain screen itself will go bonkers on your end, so it
- will be diffucult to see what all is going on, but it will look just
- fine to the caller. The Fbrain status bar at the bottom will remain
- intact so you will know what is going on.
-
- Here is the FBRAIN batch file I use:
-
- @echo off
- cd brainex (or whatever it takes to get to the brainex directory)
- shroom -q fbrain file=%2%3
- cd..
-
- Make sure the SHROOM.COM file is in the same directory as the brainex
- door manager. I ran into the problem with memory shortage when the Fbrain
- program began to run McAfee's SCAN virus checker, but after installing
- Shroom, the problem disappeared.
-
- Make sure in your WWIV INIT program to set up the upload event by calling
- the above batch file to run after a file is uploaded to your bbs.
- I call mine uptest.bat.
-
- Refer to the documentation included with FBRAIN for setting up the program
- itself. Make sure to run the latest version of Scan, which can be placed
- in a seperate directory of its' own.
