- EDITINI Simple Profile Editor for OS/2 2.0
- Version 1.00
- by Gunnar P. Seaburg
-
- The EDITINI program is a simple editor which can be used to view
- and change text entries in the OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI keyed
- files. The OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI files provide a convenient
- place for programs to store profile information. However, these
- files are stored in binary form and therefore cannot be readily
- viewed without a special program. That's why EDITINI was
- created.
-
- EDITINI can be used to view text entries in the OS2.INI and
- OS2SYS.INI profiles, and it also provides the ability to change
- or delete entries if desired. (EDITINI does not provide binary
- data editing capability.)
-
- To view profile entries, select OS2.INI or OS2SYS.INI from the
- choices EDITINI provides in the "Profile" group box. EDITINI
- will automatically look for all Application names and Keynames
- for the first Application name it finds when you select either
- "OS2.INI" or "OS2SYS.INI".
-
- Type in "Application name" and "Key name" (or select from
- available choices) to see the data for an application/key name
- pair. The "Text" field will show data for your selections
- whenever it can be found.
-
- To add a new profile entry, select the "Application name" or type
- in a new name. Select a "Key name" or type in a new name. Then
- type in "Text" data for this application/key pair, and press
- "Add/Change" to add the new entry.
-
- To change the currently displayed entry, type over the "Text"
- data for the entry and press "Add/Change".
-
- To delete the currently displayed entry, press "Delete".
-
- Warning: Only change or delete entries if you are sure you
- understand the consequences. User program and system data in
- OS/2 keyed profiles may be damaged if you accidentally corrupt
- this data. (Corrupting OS/2 data could damage your Workplace
- Shell customization, for example.)
