   IMO, the problem is not that programs store data in the INIs (after all,
that is what they were meant for), but that OS/2 has no standard
install/uninstall API to manage these details.  Once the system has a way
to relate INI entries with a program, it is fairly simple to be sure the
INIs are cleaned up when the program is deleted.
