An INI file is a file where a program can store
settings that should persist from one invocation to the
next: preferences, window positions, and the like. Much
of my software supports two different INI formats:
- the native binary INI format supported by OS2;
- TNI format, which uses a human-readable text file.
The software on this page is designed to make it easier to
write software that does not need to know which of the two
formats is being used. The format is itself taken from the
file name: a file abc.ini is assumed to be in INI format,
and a file abc.tni is assumed to be in TNI format.
INIData
The INIData package contains two DLLs called INIData.DLL
and XDS230M.DLL. They should both be copied to a directory
on your LIBPATH. These two DLLs are needed as
prerequisites for several programs (Weasel, FtpServer,
WebServe, Major Major).
GENINI
This contains programs to convert between INI and TNI
formats. It also contains some Rexx utilities for using
INI or TNI files in Rexx scripts.
INIServe
INIServe is a server application for remote manipulation
of INI or TNI files. This can be used for remote
management of programs. The package includes a sample
client, but it makes sense to use application-specific
clients, as used for example in the Setup programs for
Weasel and FtpServer.
