We want you to know how easy and simple your FairCom Server is to operate and manage. No registry entries or other system configurations are involved in the installation and maintenance of your FairCom Server. Only a small collection of server maintained "housekeeping" and transaction log files are used and are located in the server binary directory unless otherwise directed.
We briefly describe these files here so you can be confident in your knowledge of the FairCom Server installation.
