Brief description
-----------------

This Far plugin allows to perform basic operations with MP3 players 
MPIO of new series (DMG, DMB ...) Digitalway production.


Installation.
------------

1. First of all, if you have not done it yet, you need to install either
standard drivers for the player from CD or the drivers from "/drv" plugin 
directory.

2. Create a directory under FAR\Plugins (for example, "MPIOMan"), copy
"Config.dat", "MPIOMan.dll", "USBCTRL.dll", "MPIOman.hlf" and "MPIOman.lng"
to that directory.

3. Restart FAR, and a new item, MPIO, will appear in the Plugin menu (F11)
and Drive Menu. 

4. See "Notes".


Notes.
------

Possibly you need to download "Config.dat" from player and replace the
standart "Config.dat" which goes with the plugin.

Also in case of incorrect plugin work you can try to replace library
"USBCTRL.dll" which goes with the plugin with the standard one.

By default plugin delivered with RUSSIAN language support in file names.
If you want to use another language you need to modify two last lines
in "mpioman.lng" file. First line is the transformation table of symbols
0x80(128) - 0xFF(255) from DOS character table to Windows character table.
The second is the inverse of first. If you don't need any language support
you can replace "mpioman.lng" with "mpioman.def".


Limitations.
------------

Due to the fact that this plugin was developed and tested only using MPIO DMG
player, there are no guarantees for the proper support for other players.
The plugin supports USB connection only.
Plugin correctly works with Far Manager version 1.70 and higher.
