Corporation and all of its subsidiaries) make no representation
or warranty with respect to the adequacy of this documentation

with respect to its adequacy to produce any particular result.

What is it?
INIedit is a program to change *.INI file settings. It allows
you to view, delete or modify (sometimes) settings from any INI
files. Delete or change the wrong item, and you will cause
problems with the settings of OS/2 or program's related to the
INI file. So don't use it until you know more about INI files,
or limit to viewing INI files.
Why did I make this program?
I try out a lot of program's. Some of them add templates that
cannot be removed unless the entry is removed from the INI
files, or they add information that I would like to remove after
deleting the program. Unseeded a utility to do this. As I didn't
have any program to do this, or everybody asks money for a
similar program, I just made it myself and share it with the
world for free. Actually, It's the first program I have ever
written. Why did I use VXREXX. Well, it's easy to use and quite
powerful. But easy to use was the main reason.
How to use the program?
First you'll have to unzip the file in a directory that you
should create. You will need the file VROBJ.DLL Ver. 2.1B and
Rexx installed on your OS/2 machine. There is a version
available with and without the VROBJ.DLL. Put the VROBJ.DLL in
your /OS2/DLL directory. You can use it with other program's
that are created with Watcom VXREXX. (So you only need to
download it once.) Then just start the program and you will get
a Main window with 3 small windows. Just play around by clicking
the buttons, and you will find out how it works. (I am to lazy
to write a manual) If you don't know how to use it when you try
it, or you have no idea about what you're doing, it may be
better that you don't use it until you understand more about INI
files.
I added a TESTIT.INI file to try the program without danger. Use
the load *.INI button to load the file. It should allow you to
learn something about the program and play around with it
without messing up your system. Sometimes the third window will
include funny characters. This is binary stuff that can not be
modified so easy. Just do like I do and ignore it.
Problems?
Please take care that you have the correct version of the
VROBJ.DLL if you do not have the version with the DLL.
If you find any bugs, please let me know. I am still learning so
I am not perfect. I guess that there are many people still
learning ;-)
