INTIALISATION FILE FUNCTIONS


  Initialization-file functions obtain information from and copy information
  to a Windows or private (application-specific) initialization file. The
  Windows initialization file (WIN.INI) is a special ASCII file that contains
  entry-value pairs representing run-time options for applications. 

  An application should use a private initialization file to record
  information that affects it alone. This improves the performance of the
  application and Windows by reducing the amount of information that
  Windows must read when it accesses the initialization file.

  An application should record information in WIN.INI only if the information
  affects the Windows environment or other applications and should send the
  WM_WININICHANGE message to all top-level windows. 
  
  INI Files also provide a simple way to share informations between 
  different tasks, or between DOS and WINDOWS programs ...
