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.)
