A B O U T   T H E   P R O G R A M   :

This small utility makes it easier to customize Windows INI files.
I needed  a utility  like this to be able to change  the Wallpaper
entry  BEFORE  I  had  windows  running. Of course,  this  program
came very handy for all kinds of entry replacement.

This version replaces all previously distributed versions. A few
changes have been made, read about them in CHANGES.TXT.

________Now some about what you can do with the program:____________

LWed has four BASIC modes - read, write, insert and append.

READ   will print the contents of an INI key onto the std stream.
WRITE  will replace the key value with the given new value
APPEND will append a string to the key value
INSERT will append the current key value to the given string and
            write the new combined string to the value

Other modes are:

delete             Just removes the first ocurrance of the key from
                   the specified INI file.

write_comment      Comments out the given key.

write_blind        Overwrights the first ocurrance of the key.

write_quoted       Writes the value with double quotes around it.

comment_pair       Comments out the given 'key=value' pair. Example:
                   In SYSTEM.INI/386Enh:
                   device=myDriver.386

                   If you want to manipulate this setting, you will
                   have problems, since there are multiple 'device'
                   keys.

                   This option tries to match BOTH sides of the
                   'key=value' pair.

delete_pair        Removes a given 'key=value' pair.

delete_section     Removes an entire section from the INI file.
                   Example:
                   lwed --delete_section X:\WIN\WIN.ini GIZMO

                   removes all entries between the line [GIZMO]
                   and the next section, and it also removes
                   the section heading '[GIZMO]'.

Enjoy,

Laszlo
