   If all you want to do is clean up the OS/2 ini files why not use    
   something that is designed for the job and not some windows derivitave   
   designed for ODIN use?   
      
   Get a copy of iniedit102 and use that.  It stears clear of the win    
   related items and only works with OS/2 binary ini files.
