The INI backup utility allows you to backup the OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI files
without operator intervention. This makes the utility suitable for batch
processing. The utility returns ERRORLEVEL = 0 only if INI backup files are
succesfully created. In all other cases, partially created backup files are
deleted and a non-zero ERRORLEVEL is returned. If backup files exist, they
are deleted prior to the INI backup process in order to insure that the
backup process will also compact fragmented INI files.
Operator intervention is requested by the utility if an error occurs. An
error message box is displayed to describe the failure and the operator is
requested to press a button to allow program termination.
Since PM calls are required for INI processing, this is a PM program. However,
it takes its parameters from the command line. Under OS2 1.3 and higher, the
utility may be installed in a group using the "minimized" option so the it
will run iconically. The SHAREWARE utility INIUTIL1.EXE may be used in OS2
1.2 to achieve the same result.
The utility has the following syntax:
INIBKUP
or
INIBKUP /h
or
INIBKUP filename1 filename2
INIBKUP with no parameters, causes the utility to create a backup of the
OS2.INI file in the current working directory with a filename of OS2SV.INI and
a backup of the OS2SYS.INI file in the current working directory with a
filename of OS2SYSSV.INI.
INIBKUP /h will cause the utility to display a message box that contains
usage information.
INIBKUP filename1 filename2 will cause the utility to backup the OS2.INI file
to "filename1" and the OS2SYS.INI file to "filename2". Filenames are used
as full pathnames and may contain drive and directory specifications. If
filename2 is absent, then filename1 is also ignored and the utility operates
as if no parameters were specified.
This program has been tested under OS2 1.2, 1.3 and 2.0 (BETA 6.149), but
