Just curious. No, but it will not be updated if you write into OS2.INI, either. Even better than having your INI file location stored in the OS2.INI file is to have the program determine its own location, which is easy to do, and look for the INI file or a pointer to another INI file there. The reason for having a pointer option defined is to handle cases where people install your software on a shared network drive but need separate INI files. -- Mike ---* Origin: N1BEE BBS +1 401 944 8498 V.34/V.FC/V.32bis/HST16.8 (1:323/107) SEEN-BY: 50/99 78/0 270/101 620/243 711/401 409 410 413 430 808 809 934 955 SEEN-BY: 712/407 515 517 628 713/888 800/1 7877/2808 2809 @PATH: 323/107 396/1 270/101 712/515 711/808 809 934 |
