This package is a client/server approach to updating INI
files. It's free, and you are explicitly permitted to
redistribute the "server" part with any clients that you
develop yourself.
In principle, the server part should go on the machine with
the INI files to be edited, and the client part should go
on the machine where you're going to do the editing. For
evaluation purposes, however, it's safe to put both parts on
the same machine. You can even put them in the same directory
if you prefer.
To install, unzip the appropriate zip file (client.zip or
server.zip) into a directory of your choice. The two programs
should be immediately ready to run.
The documentation is in the server package. The client is
supposed to be sufficiently user-friendly that it doesn't need
any documentation. (Please let me know if that's wrong.)
If you want to develop your own client software, you can take
the source code for this one as a starting point. My client
was developed using DrDialog, which is a REXX-based system
available free from the IBM Developer Connection. REXX is not
my favourite programming language, but I have to admit that
DrDialog lets you get this sort of application working very
quickly.
The latest version of this software can be found at
