[Brains-users] Re: [Fwd: Re: Hi]

[Eugene Zeien]

This message sequence is quite normal.  BRAINS is a package which is
constantly under development/expansion, so the programmers like some
verbosity :-)  The only message of interest is

> WARNING:  brains2 configuration file (/home/ninad/.brains2rc) not found

You are not required to have your own "personal" configuration file.
However, it is worth a few minutes to go read the default configuration
file /opt/brains2/bin/brains2rc.  If your site has some regions which
several people will be tracing, edit or add a line similar to the line,
    B2_EVAL_TCL "B2_cran_ROI_DEFAULTS"...
Simply replace "cran" with your region's name.

If you want to change the initial layout of BRAINS,
   nedit ~/.brains2rc
Copy the lines B2_VIEWERS_INITIAL_LAYOUT from the default config into
~/.brains2rc and edit the LAYOUT.  A "#" at the beginning of a line
makes it a comment, i.e. ignored.

All sorts of customizing you can do, just takes a bit to figure out which
lines to edit.
