-
- Please take the time to review this file before installing and
- running INI ProFiler.
-
-
-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- INI ProFiler is a powerful, easy-to-use utility for reviewing
- and editing the contents of the initialization, or ".INI",
- files used by Microsoft Windows and/or Windows applications.
-
- INI ProFiler offers a safe, "hands-off" method of editing .INI
- files. In this capacity, the program combines the best features
- of an editing utility and a reference tool in one!
-
- INI ProFiler can load any ASCII-compatible .INI file used by
- Windows or Windows applications, and display groups of entries
- section by section. Changes to a selected section, keyname or
- entry string/value may be easily "spliced" into the .INI file
- with the touch of a button. Best of all, context-sensitive
- help is available for selected .INI files and sections.
-
- With INI ProFiler, your Windows system configuration can be
- optimized quickly, easily, and with complete safety. And even
- if you don't make any changes, INI ProFiler and its help system
- can be a great way to familiarize yourself with the "inner
- workings" of Windows initialization files.
-
-
-
- PROGRAM FILES
- -------------
- The INI ProFiler 1.0 package consists of 6 files:
-
- README.TXT
- INIPRO.EXE
- INIPRO.HLP
- INIPRO.TXT
- INIHLP.HLP
- VENDOR.TXT
-
- A sixth file, INIPRO.INI, will be automatically created and
- stored in the default Windows directory (e.g., C:\WINDOWS) the
- first time the program is run.
-
-
-
- READ ALL ABOUT IT
- -----------------
- Full product documentation is contained in the INIPRO.TXT file.
- This is an ASCII text file which can be easily loaded and
- viewed with Windows Notepad, Windows Write, or any word
- processor or text editor that supports the ASCII text format.
- This file includes a program description, instructions, and
- technical notes.
-
- Hypertext program documentation is supplied in the INIPRO.HLP
- file. This is a Windows Help System format file, which can be
- loaded and viewed with Windows Help -- and is directly
- accessed from within INI ProFiler via the menu bar
- "Help/Contents..." command (and from the "Question Mark"
- quick command pushbutton located in the upper-right corner of
- the program window).
-
- Additional context-sensitive help is supplied in the INIHLP.HLP
- file, which is accessed from the context-sensitive help
- pushbutton controls in the program interface.
-
- These files contain all the information you need to install and
- run this program. The Windows Help System includes the provision
- for easily printing any topic or topics from the INIPRO.HLP file.
- This handy feature can be used to turn your "manual on disk" into
- hard copy for future reference.
-
-
-
- QUICK & DIRTY START-UP
- ----------------------
- We recommend that you make a backup copy of the master program
- disk(s) before installing or running INI ProFiler. We also
- recommend that this program be installed to, and run from, a
- hard disk.
-
- To get INI ProFiler loaded and running with a minimum of fuss,
- simply create a new directory or subdirectory on your hard disk
- (e.g., C:\INI or C:\INIPRO) and copy the entire contents of your
- master disk(s) to that new directory.
-
- From Microsoft Windows, you can run this program from File
- Manager by "double-clicking" the INIPRO.EXE file entry or by
- selecting the INIPRO.EXE file entry and issuing the menu bar
- "File/Run" command.
-
- Of course, the program's icon can be easily installed into a
- new or existing Program Manager group for quick, one-step
- running.
-
- A complete summary of all commands and program features is
- provided in the INIPRO.TXT file and within the INI ProFiler
- help system.
