viivi.vcnf and .viivirc

The Viivi distribution package includes only viivi.vcnf but not .viivirc.
Both files are configuration files in order to specify Viivi kernel's behavior at the boot time.

The extension .vcnf of the configuration file viivi.vcnf is an abbreviation for "Viivi configuration".
The other file .viivirc was named following to the naming rule that "begins with . and ends with rc (run command)" for the hidden configuration file of Unix.

Both have the same contents of descriptions.
Multiple configuration files can be created in the different directory-hierarchies according to the user's needs.
The contents of the files are Scheme codes.
But only a limited number of procedures are available, and the processes and the results are never displayed.

The differences between these files are only as follows:

• viivi.vcnf is visible but .viivirc is invisible on the Unix-like platforms by default
• Firstly the contents of .viivirc are evaluated, and then those of viivi.vcnf.
  Therefore, viivi.vcnf has the higher priority.

Hierarchy of the Configuration Files
Contents of the Configuration Files

The file viivi.vcnf.ORG whose name ends with .ORG is a back-up file.
Please leave it as it is.

When the configuration file works properly after being edited, it is recommended to save the file with the name viivi.vcnf.SAVE ending with .SAVE to avoid being overwritten at updates.
