No it is. I can open it with Initor (after adding the extension .ini) and Regedit2 and it has the OS/2 ini signature "FFFFFFFF1400".
Ben:
OK.
Thanks for that Andreas.
I'm wondering if I can add some information to that file via one of the INI tools; CFGTool.dat is in serious need of updating.

A quick & dirty test shows that Initor or REXX' SysIni cannot modify the file in a lasting way, but you can edit the file with e.g. a hex editor (to avoid having to find out what the file format is). I'm not familiar with possible DrDialog's INI- nor database-related functions.
If the size of the INI'ish file is a problem, then you could consider to create a full back-up copy and to delete all items which don't occur in your CONFIG.SYS file.
