INSTALLATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently there is not a installation program that goes with FM, its been
a debate with me if there should even be one. Personally I feel a great deal
of discomfort with installation programs that change what I've so painfully
set up without even telling me about to begin with. File Magician has no need
to change or add to any of your startup files or any .ini files in your windows
directory. The best method to install FM is.

Step 1: Create a directory on your hard drive with File Manager or whatever
you are currently using as a file manager, call the directory
FM or whatever name you wish to use. (as long as it is nice)

Step 2: Copy all the files from the FM disk or .zip archive to that
directory.

Installation complete. Now all you need to do is assign it a icon and
throw it in a group somewhere.


With PCTools.
---------------

Step 1: Go to the File Menu and Select 'New File'.
Step 2: Enter in the Title box File Magician V3 .
Step 3: Click on the 'Browse' Button and find your way to the FM Directory
that you created and select FM.EXE, then push 'OK', the
command line entry box will fill in automatically.
Step 4: Click on the 'Icon' button. Select the icon that turns you on
and select 'OK'.
Step 5: Select 'OK' again from the File Item Box.

Thats it. for PCTools


With Program Manager
----------------------

Step 1: Go to the File Menu and Select 'New'.
Step 2: Select 'Program Item' then 'Ok'
Step 3: Enter in the Description box. File Magician V3
Step 4: Click on the 'Browse Button' and find your way to the FM Directory
that you created and select FM.EXE, then push 'OK', the command
line entry box will fill in automatically.
Step 5: Click 'Change Icon'. You will get a message that says "There are
no icons available for the specified file", no sweat, select 'OK'.
Step 6: Select a Icon that you like and click on 'Ok'.
Step 7: Select 'Ok' again.

See, piece of cake.

With Norton Desktop
---------------------
Step 1: Go to the File Menu and select 'New'
Step 2: Choose the group list you want. I would hope it would be
'AutoStart'. Select 'OK'
Step 3: Select 'Item' for Type.
Step 4: In Title section type 'File Magician V3', don't press return,
use the mouse pointer to select 'Program/document/script:'
Step 5: Click browse, find your way to the FM Directory that you created
and select FM.EXE, then push 'OK', the entry box will file in
automatically.
Step 6: Click the 'Startup Directory' box and enter in the directory path
that you used for FM. examp. c:\fm
Step 7: Click on 'Icon'. Then select that icon that suits and select 'OK'.

Thats it for Norton. His is probably the most difficult to set anything up
for but it really isn't that bad. Presently I favor Norton in a number of items
even if the rumors are true. Quite often rumors are simply user error created
with impatience. I haven't examined PCTools all that well but it too seems to
be a fine program. So far I don't realy see a need to switch desktops from
the program manager but the utilities that accompany Norton and PC are quite
quite handy when used by File Magician!!

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
