  If your argument is based on the principle that OS/2 users are generally
  more astute than Windows users, then I can very easily throw that right
  back at you by saying that binary INI files do *not* stop OS/2 users
  from fixing INI files, because OS/2 users are astute enough to be able
  to write 3-line REXX scripts to hand-modify INI files when they need to.

  Or use one of the 15 or so INI file editors Out There ...
