I wish to get some of the advantages of FBreader 180.
If I now install FBreader 180 do I undo the fixes to FBreader that were part of 15.2?
If I do install FBreader 180 and wish to be able to select between FBReader & FBReader 180. I assume I need to populate /system/bin with FBreader180 and populate /system/config with a config file that shows FBreader as alternate to FBReader180. Is this correct?

Must that added config file also have entries for formats such as DJVI, PDF, MP3...Or are they covered by the hidden/default config file that came with 15.2 if I don't override those lines with my added config file?

Finally: If there is more than one version of FBReader180.app where to I get the latest version?
All you said is absolutely correct, take the Extension.cfg from here, u can open it (after unrar and alternate it) with win and u will see how it is setup.

Take the latest fbreader from here, this is the developer site. There u always find the latest.

To use different fbreaders u just give the different names and set them in the config file. The original is in the rom so even with the name fbreader u will use the new one but NOT overwrite the original. deleting the new and the system takes the ROM version. That also means the bin folder is empty because nothing (also not hidden) is in there. The PB has 2 sections, one u access via win and one thats in the rom and not shown . The system software checks in both sources to give us the possibility to change things without messing with the core files.
