WININI                                    Fran Finnegan
Register changes to WIN.INI immediately     version 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------

WININI is a small but useful Windows utility that you
can run immediately after altering your WIN.INI startup
file within Windows using the Notepad, Sysedit or 
another text editor program. WININI will then read the
newly changed WIN.INI into memory so that other 
programs can take account of the changes in it; you
don't have to stop and restart Windows.

Installation
------------
WININI works with Windows 3 and is installed in the 
usual manner. The program file is WININI.EXE. No 
other files are necessary to use WININI.

To install the program file:

  * Copy WININI.EXE to a suitable hard disk directory.
    You can use your main WINDOWS directory, create a 
    new one or add WININI to a directory you already
    have for smaller Windows programs and accessories.

To start WININI directly:

  * Run the program file WININI.EXE from the Windows
    Program Manager, File Manager, MS-DOS Executive or
    whatever shell/launch program you like to use. You
    can either choose 'File' 'Run' and then enter the
    command WININI (you may need to give the drive
    and directory where WININI is stored, e.g. 
    C:\WINUTILS\WININI) or double-click on the
    filename in the File Manager or other program 
    launcher display.

To create an icon for WININI in the Windows Program 
Manager display:

  * Select a suitable program group by clicking on it
    once (e.g. Accessories). If you prefer, you can 
    create a new program group by choosing 'New...' from
    the Program Manager 'File' menu and then selecting
    'Program Group'.

  * Select 'New...' from the Program Manager 'File' menu.

  * Choose 'Program Item' and click okay in the 'New 
    Program Object' dialog.

  * In the 'Program Item Properties' dialog, click on
    'Browse' and then use the mouse to locate the 
    WININI.EXE program file and double-click on it.

  * You may want to alter the description item to read
    'WIN.INI changed' to act as a reminder that you 
    should run the program after each time you alter
    WIN.INI directly in Windows.

  * Click 'Okay' back in the 'Program Item Properties'
    dialog and the WININI icon should appear in your
    selected program group. You can now start WININI
    by double-clicking on this icon as normal.

Using WININI
------------
WININI is straightforward to use. After making changes
to the WIN.INI file with the Notepad, Sysedit or other
text editor program, just run WININI. This reads in
the new file and informs other applications that one
or more changes have been made to it. Good Windows 
applications running at the time will look to see what 
the changes are and take account of them if 
appropriate.
