DESCRIPTION

The class CNIniFile reads/writes MSDOS-style .INI files.
Example of a .INI file:

# This is a comment

[Test]
display = 1
string  = Hallo!
abc

In this example the variables display, string and abc of section Test are declared. At this class each single line is handled as a node of a double linked list. Each node has a left entry (variable), a right one (value) and a type entry (COMM, EMPTY, SECTION, ENTRY, ENTRYNOEQ). Depending on the different types, left and/or right entry can be empty.

Attention : This class is still under construction ! !

Constructors:
