README.TXT - INI PROFILER DOCUMENTATION
VERSION 1.00
_________________________________________________________________
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.
