Just out of curiosity, what do you think would be the algorithm for _writing to_ an ini file? How many sections does it have? What are they called? What is the structure of the entries allowed in each section? How many entries can each section have? What are the possible range of values for any entry? Rhetorical question, don't tell me. What I am saying here is that it is a lot easier to parse a file given its basic structure, than it is to create a file based on that structure but with a huge, almost infinite, number of possible entries. In other words, you'll have to roll your own, using the file functions. -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi! Quod subigo farinam
