Slawek, you are not needed in any .TPU for reading/writing standard .INI files
for your Windows applications. The Windows API provides imported functions for
this. There are special functions for reading & writing WIN.INI & other .INI
files & declared in WINTYPES.PAS. Their names are:
GetProfileString & WriteProfileString - for WIN.INI
GetPrivateProfileString & WritePrivateProfileString - for all the other.
They are called just like the first two, but You specify the file path.
