History
(2001-04-12): Test version of INI editor with new features: Edit local INI files (on your computer) and remote INI files (on remote host).

To test INI editor 1.2.0, download iniedit120.zip, unzip in new directory and run INIinst.cmd script. If you want to edit INI files on remote host, INI editor will work as client. The server part (in package server.zip) should go on the machine with the INI files to be edited. For evaluation purposes, you can put both parts on the same machine (even in the same directory, if you prefer). For more information, read the file iniserve.inf in the server package (server.zip).

If you are already using INI tools, DO NOT unzip iniedit120.zip to INI tools directory (configuration files are different). Create new directory for INI editor.

UPDATE (2000-08-25): Swedish and Slovenian Language support for INI tools. Download initool110lng.zip (47 kb), copy to your INI tools directory and run Swedish.cmd to add Swedish language and/or Slovenia.cmd to add Slovenian language.
