Installing an MFS

Once the MFS is complete, it can be added to any file. There are several options for installing the MFS. Each offers slightly different capabilities.

Developers can install any number of MFSs onto a file, and can mix their own MFSs with system MFSs such as SI.MFS and QUICKDEX.MFS. Some MFSs, however, are sensitive to the sequence in which they are called. For example, SI.MFS absorbs several BFS calls in their entirety, and does not pass them on to the next MFS or to the BFS.

Because of this, developers need to be aware of the effect of other MFSs that precede or follow their own MFS, and place their MFS accordingly.
