Uploader:     seasons softhome net (Lloyd Rosen)
Type:         util/libs
Version:      v33.00
Replaces:     util/libs/zee_inilib.lha
Architecture: m68k-amigaos


ini.library is a shared Amiga library providing easy creation, access
and maintenance of ASCII based settings/preference files.

* You won't need to code a prefs GUI in the last minute - - The users
can simply edit settings using their favourite text-editor!  Ofcourse
you  may  additionally code a prefs GUI that handles settings through
ini.library,  but  now you got more time to spend on it - - making it
great!

*  The library, being a standard shared Amiga library, gives you full
control  of prefs settings - you may choose to go the easy way (basic
functions),  or  a  more  complex  way  (even  more  control  of your
settings-file!)

*  You  won't  worry  about incompability with older versions of your
program's  settings - - Just ignore and/or delete the settings unused
in  your new version!  No more "remember to convert your old settings
file or else this program will crash!" incidents.

* Handles longs, words (ints) and bytes (chars)!

* Handles decimal, hexadecimal, binary and octal numbers!

* Handles strings!

* Handles simple floating point numbers!

* Handles field-arrays, to use in e.g. palettes!

* Handles C-style comments and one-line assembler style comments!
  Comments are even preserved when editing the fields!

* Easy access for quick handling, or Complex access for complete
  control!
