Aside, I dislike Microsoft's INI files that have appeared in Unix. :-) They're not line based, but have context, making them more awkward to search and edit with Unix tools. > [startup-files] > eqn = INSTALLPATH/eqnrc `startup-files.eqn=INSTALLPATH/eqnrc' might lead to repetition over many lines, but it's self-contained; the parser need not track any `[section]', and sed can edit it more easily.
