BizDir
BizDir is customized for each installation via plain text configuration file.
Each configuration setting consists of;
$VarName = "value"; # [VAL1|VAL2|VAL3] comment
Where:
$VarName is the exact name of that variable. Variable names are case sensitive. If you define a variable twice, the latter statement will be used, this is helpful in modifying settings -- leave the old one in the file, test with newer values, delete the old ones when they start to bother you!)
value is any acceptable value for that given variable. In cases where a pre-determined value is established, your options will be shown listed as a comment as [VAL1|VAL2|VAL3]. See examples in variables below.
# [VAL1|VAL2|VAL3] comment will contain any specific comments about individual configuration variables.
