Initialization (.INI) Files Most of the TCI configuration is controlled through initialization directives saved in the TCI.INI file. Note: The TCI.INI file is also used by TCI to store some operating characteristics, such as the default size and location of the TCI window. Modifying the TCI.INI File You can create, add to, and modify the .INI file in two ways:
Most of the changes you make in the configuration dialog take effect immediately. A few (e.g., those associated with the startup screen size) only take effect when you start a new TCI session. See the online help for each individual dialog page if you are not sure when a change will take effect. TCI reads its TCI.INI file (see Locating the .INI file) when it starts, and configures itself accordingly. The TCI.INI file is not reread when you change it manually. For manual changes to take effect, you must restart TCI. If you edit TCI.INI manually, make sure you save the file in ASCII format. Each item that you can include in TCI.INI has a default value. You only need to include entries in the file for settings that you want to change from their default values. Using the TCI.INI File Some settings in TCI.INI are initialized when you install TCI. Other (such as window size and position) are modified as you use TCI, so you will probably have an TCI.INI file even if you didn't create one yourself. You should not delete this file. Locating the TCI.INI File TCI searches for TCI.INI in three places: If there is an @d:\path\inifile option on the startup command line, TCI will use the path and file name specified there, and will not look elsewhere. If no such file exists, no TCI.INI file will be processed. If there is no TCI.INI file name on the startup command line, the she search starts in the directory where the TCI program file is stored. This is the default location for TCI.INI. TCI determines this directory automatically. If no TCI.INI file is found, all directives are set to their default values. If the operations performed in TCI window require it, a new TCI.INI will be created, using the default location and name.
