MFM is a file area manager designed to work with MAXIMUS.
MFM is guaranteed to do nothing but take up your precious disk
space. If you use this program, you do so at your own risk. The
author assumes NO responsibility for ANY loss.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
--------------------
/a This allows you to specify the path for MFM to find the
AREAS.CTL file. Default is to look for AREAS.CTL in the
same directory as MFM.EXE
Example MFM /aC:\MAX\
/c This tells MFM where to direct it's IO. MFM defaults the
IO to CON.
/c0 Tells MFM to direct IO to CON.
/c1 Tells MFM to direct IO to COM1.
/c2 Tells MFM to direct IO to COM2.
/c9 Tells MFM to direct IO to STDIN and STDOUT.
/p This parameter tell MFM to start in the specified directory.
Example MFM /pD:\FILES\UTILITY\
/k This tells MFM how many columbs to use on the area display.
Valid values are 3 thru 8 with 5 being the default.
/r This tells MFM to create MFMRUNFB.BAT when and area is saved.
AREA SELECT SCREEN
------------------
When MFM is started without the -p parameter it will present you
with a screen that will allow you select an area. Just use your cursor
keys to select an area and press enter. The only other command at this
screen is the P command, that allows you to add temporary areas.
