That depends on a couple of things.  I don't mind a program writing data
to the system INIs provided 1) the data written isn't excessive and is
kept to a minimum, and 2) that the author provides an easy way to remove
it.  All of my programs use OS2.INI to store the location and name of
the program INI files (which I obviously make user configureable), and I
always provide an UNINSTAL.CMD that will delete the program INI file
and/or the reference to it in OS2.INI.
