Note:
It is possible to append the argument -noconsole to the modeFRONTIER.exe executable file in order to run modeFRONTIERTM without the System Console.
Note:
As soon as modeFRONTIERTM starts it reads a configuration file (frontier.ini) for setting its environment parameters. If the configuration file does not exist modeFRONTIERTM uses its default parameters. frontier.ini is divided in two sections: JAVA FLAGS section contains all the parameter for the Java Virtual Machine, while MF FLAGS section contains all the parameters for modeFRONTIERTM environment. The symbol # before a parameter's name comments out the selected line.
The USER_PATH parameter (in the MF FLAGS section) holds an exact route to get to a specific directory. The value of the USER_PATH is placed at the beginning of the environment variable PATH.
