=== DISCLAIMER ===
I allow you to use and distribute COPYINI freely under the condition
that I am in no way responsible for any damage or loss you may suffer.
Henk Kelder, Fidonet 2:512/47.339
=== NOTES on COPYINI ===
COPYINI will make a copy of you OS2.INI an OS2SYS.INI to a specified
directory. Both these ini-files contain a lot of empty space as a
result of the updating of records. COPYINI will result in much smaller
ini-files.
You could decide to let this location be your \OS2\INSTALL directory. In
that case whenever you keep ALT-F1 pressed when booting your PC these new
ini's will be copied to your \OS2 directory.
(NOTE: also the CONFIG.SYS and STARTUP.CMD will be copied from the
install directory to the root directory then!)
An alternate way to allow you to copy the new ini's is the boot from a
diskette and copy them manually.
Yet another way is to change the PROTSHELL line in the config.sys. If you
change it to PROTSHELL=X:\OS2\CMD.EXE (where X stands for you OS/2 drive)
when booting OS/2 you will not start the workplace shell but a CMD session.
From this session you can manually copy the ini's, and then start the
workplace shell by typing PMSHELL at the command line.
NOTE: When you use the method mentioned above a lot of programs (copyini
itself, but also checkini, will NOT work !)
=== HOW COPYINI WORKS ===
COPYINI uses only fully documented calls. It queries via PrfQueryProfileData
all application names within the ini-files. Than, per application name all
the key names are queried, and the per app/key pair the data is retrieved
and written out the the new ini-files.
Changes in COPYINI november 1992:
o Updated the documentation files (this file)
