The INI File
| 
2 Categories in the INI File
As a software developer, you will have two uses for the INI file. First, the INI file controls your system configuration to a certain extent. For example, if you are developing applications for a small-screen pen device, you should know the appropriate settings in the INI file to get your system to emulate such a device.
Second, you may need to have your application access the INI file to store or retrieve information. The kernel offers routines for just this purpose; these routines are detailed in Chapter 6 of the Concepts books.
This chapter describes the file itself as well as the categories and keys created and used by GEOS. Depending on the system you plan to develop for, you may need to set several different keys in certain combinations (e.g. setting certain keys emulates a Zoomer configuration). These special combinations are described in the special add-on documents that describe developing for each system. For more information, contact Geoworks Developer Support.
