Minimal INI file

From CometWiki

The very minimum INI file is composed of about 10 lines and looks like this:

[DIRECTORIES]

  01 = L,.\REL\;

[NODE]

  Name = MIN;

[COMET SYSTEM OPTIONS]

  First Partition = P00;

  # of Partitions = 1;

[CONSOLE SESSION OPTIONS]

  Session = T00, P00, 5, F0,80,FF,F0,B0;

[END]

This INI file, when processed, creates a configuration file named MIN.CFG (for the node named MIN), containing one directory (REL), one partition (P00), and one foreground terminal session (T00). No other devices or services are configured.

A more realistic INI file includes more items as shown in the following example. (Note: This example contains some real and some fictitious data. The syntax and comments are correct, but may not represent a real live system.)

[ENTERPRISE]

[SITE]

  Server = N01, NLM, L, Comet_server_1;        Novell server1

[NODE]

  Name = MIN;          Node name is MIN

  Server = N01,SF;     Get security and files from N01

[DIRECTORIES]

  01 = L   , .\REL\;

  02 = L   , .\SPL\;

[PRINTERS]

[SPOOLERS]

  Spool = SP1, .\SPL\;

[COMET SYSTEM OPTIONS]

  First Terminal  = T00;

  # of Partitions = 9;

[CONSOLE SESSION OPTIONS]

  Session = T00-005, P00, 5, F0,80,FF,F0,B0;
