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.
