>>>George,

>>>It has been my belief for some time that MS will eventually discard INI files. I have downloaded your class and am presently looking at it but something I noticed on my PC here at work when I looked at Win.INI and System.INI - the first line in each says (and I quote) ": for 16-bit app support". Could this be a hint???

>>Undoubtedly. I agree that eventually Windows itself won't use INI files. However, the functions may hang around for awhile. Of course, this is a guess on my part. I fully appreciate and understand why the registry, in many cases, is preferable. However, I don't like fooling with it unless absolutely necessary. My own apps use an INI file to store dynamic values, window positions for example. Static values (or mostly static values) are stored in the registry.

>That would be affirmative. I have been running Win98 for little while now and in this version ( CP Build 1650 ), it seems that the info stored in the ini files is stored in the registry as well (Somewhere <g>). You should be able to get the info from either place because the ini API calls are mapped to the registry.

Thanks, Donald. I should get mine with the rest of the Universal Subscription latter this week (I hope, I hope...). I'm just hoping that the documentation comes with it (and the beta of Tahoe, too).
