****************************************************************************
INIPAT.EXE - Version 1.0, DameWare Development, 1995.
****************************************************************************

INIPAT is a small DOS utility that allows for patching of ALL .INI files.

This utility is particular useful to Network Administrators for dynamic
patching of .ini files of all types. It is commonly used to perform
.ini patching from within Network Login Scripts and batch (.bat) files.

INIPAT.ZIP includes the following files:
. INIPAT.EXE - the INIPATcher utility
. README.TXT - this help file
. REGISTER.TXT - INIPATcher ShareWare Registration Form.
. SAMPLE.PAT - a sample Patternfile
. SAMPLE.INI - a sample Inifile

Usage syntax:
-------------

INIPAT - when executed without parameters, a help screen is displayed.
INIPAT Inifile Patternfile

Where Inifile = is the .ini file to make changes to.
Patternfile = is the parameter file containing the actions, commands,
and statements to be processed.

Examples of command line execution:
-----------------------------------
INIPAT C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI C:\PAT\SOUND.PAT
INIPAT c:\windows\win.ini pattern.pat
c:\lan\inipat c:\lan\sample.ini c:\lan\sample.pat

Environment String Table:
-------------------------
The entire DOS Environment string table is loaded into memory, and can be
used in any patternfile. You can insert any environment variable,
surrounded by % (percent) signs to have INIPAT replace the text with the
data value of the specified environment variable.

For example, a patternfile named sample.pat could contain the lines:

[AddLine]
[Network]
UserName=%user%
UserPath=c:\network\%user%\log

Patternfile syntax:
-------------------
The patternfile can contain multiple function(s), however each function can
only contain one SectionName. Each function can contain multiple
statement(s), if desired:

[Function]
[SectionName]
statement(s)
Where:

Function = [AddLine] - Add a line(s) to section
[AddSection] - Add a new section
Note: this will delete section, then add new
[DeleteLine] - Delete line(s) within a section
[DeleteSection] - Delete an entire section

Patternfile examples:
---------------------
[AddLine]
[Network]
UserName=%user%
Workgroup=ACCT
ComputerName=MY386
LogonDomain=my.domain.COM

[AddSection]
[mysection]
;; This is comment line 1
Line1=this is line 1
Line2=this is line 2

Miscellanous:
-------------
All lines which begin with a semi-colon (;), are treated as comments.
The Inifile is updated in place, so make a backup of the file first if
necessary.

Limitations:
------------
The Inifile is limited to no more than 1200 lines. If the .ini file exceeds
this 1200 line limit, an error message is displayed on the screen.

The Patternfile is limited to no more than 100 lines. If the patternfile
exceeds this 100 line limit, an error message is displayed on the screen.
If more than 100 lines are needed in the patternfile, then you should
create a second patternfile and run INIPAT twice, once with the first
patternfile, and again with the second patternfile.

If you begin to see 'out of memory' errors, then try reducing the number
of functions you use in the Patternfile and/or reducing the number of
lines in the Inifile.

What do I get when I register:
------------------------------

There are no limitations in this shareware release. The product will be
registered in your name and you will receive the latest version. It's a
small price to pay for your peace of mind. You may also keep abreast of
the latest version of INIPATcher as well as any new products by calling
our BBS. You may also find data files of special interest. The number is
504-626-7545.

The Shareware concept:
----------------------

Shareware is copyrighted software which is distributed by authors through
bulletin boards, on-lineservices, disk vendors, and copies passed among
friends. It is commercial software that you are allowed to try before you
pay for it. This makes shareware the ultimate in money back guarantees.
Most money back guarantees work like this: you pay for the product and then
have some period of time to try it out and see whether or not you like it.
If you don't like it or find that it doesn't do what you need, you return
it and you get your money back. Some software companies won't even let you
try their product, since to qualify for a refund the diskette envelope
must have an unbroken seal. With shareware you get to try it for a
reasonable limited time (like 30 days), without spending a penny. You are
able to use the software on your own system(s), in your own special work
environment with no sales people looking over your shoulder. If you decide
not to continue using it, you throw it away and forget all about it. There
is no paperwork, no phone calls, and no correspondence to waste your
valuable time. You only pay for it if you continue to use it.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. Shareware is
produced by accomplished programmers, just like retail software. There is
good and bad shareware, just as there is good and bad retail software. The
primary difference between shareware and retail software is that with
shareware you know if it's good or bad before you pay for it. You benefit
because you get to use the software to determine whether it meets your
needs, before you pay for it. Authors benefit because they are able to get
their products into your hands without the expenses it takes to launch a
traditional retail software product. There are many programs on the market
today that would never have become available without the shareware marketing
method.

The shareware system and the continued availability of quality shareware
products depend on your willingness to register and pay for the shareware
you use. It's the registration fees you pay which allow us to support and
continue to develop our products. Please show your support for shareware by
registering those programs you actually use and by passing them on to
others.

Shareware is kept alive by your support!

What is WinDial Corporate Edition?

WinDial Corporate Edition is an easy to use electronic phone book. So
simple and fast--locate records as quickly as you can type! WinDial not

of the typical Windows limitations. Use WinDial as a dialer and it will
keep a log of your calls. WinDial can be easily incorporated into other
applications. This can be accomplished by dynamic data exchange, drag and
drop, copy and paste and by exporting data or reports in formats other
applications recognize. There are many fields to support corporate

well. Other features include: multiple sorting, extended search,
undelete option, multi-user capabilities, modeless operation on all but one
