Both "my own" and the "system" ones.
The API for them is quite useful and full-featured.

I use INI files under Windows all the time.

Note This function is provided only for compatibility with 16-bit

<end quote>
And this since 1995
I still use them of course, and I used them a lot under linux...
I rewrote the API for linux. But under windows surely they are
obsolescent.

(And I don't know if his "did you know" falls under the same vein.)

You can't just say
"I think you are mistaken"
but you have to quote other people?

Win.INI was obsoleted with windows 95. Some 13 years ago.

Yes, it's been a while since I used Windows... There must be a
replacement for autoexec.bat, though - how do you control which programs
run at startup nowadays?
I guess for the .ini files, programs now use their own ini file rather
than storing their settings in win.ini - I remember the 64K limit was
always a worry.

necessary.
X's assumption (for any X who no longer uses Y) that nobody uses Y any more
is almost invariably a false assumption. For any given problem, people
change from one solution to another only when the overall cost of the
change is less than the cost of staying with what they already have - and
different people take different factors into account when assessing cost
and risk, which is why it's possible for two rational people, facing the
same upgrade decision, each to make that decision rationally and
intelligently and yet for their choices to differ from each other.
There is value in cultural - and computational - diversity. Those who mock
it don't really understand it.

extensive as they used to be, and Jacob is right in the implication that
since Win95, the trend has been towards using the registry more.
However, and this is a big however, the APIs still exist and lots of
applications still use them. The INI file is a very useful format
precisely because it is pure ASCII and can be edited and processed using
ordinary tools.
That's the thing about Jacob's posts - he is right in principle, but
wrong in particulars. Since we deal in particulars here, there's always
room to nitpick him.
