Jeez, a binary format SYSTEM.INI! That would be such a pain in the *ss! I can't count the times that I have had to undo some entry that a piece of software installed (ATM, various Shells, Netware, Custom Fonts, etc) or reset them back. I have several different configuarations (I have a 486 portable) and rely on software to detect what kind of software configuaration I'm running with! I would hope that MS would make the .INI commands a little more powerful to handle the "device" type keywords, or come up with a new method like DEVICE1=stuff.sys DEVICE2=morestuff.sys ala the PROGMAN.INI file. Also, it seems to me that if any INI <g> goes binary, then ALL INI files go binary. Hmmm. (I can see that if this is likely, then there is going to be a slew of INI-EDITORS.) – Ricks There is 1 Reply.
