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 (because the only node is 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;     This nodes gets security and files from N01

[DIRECTORIES]
   01 = L   , .\REL\;
   02 = L   , .\SPL\;

[PRINTERS]
   Printer = LPW, W, N,, HP DeskJet 890C Series:RAW,,;

[SPOOLERS]
   Spool = SP1, .\SPL\;

[COMET SYSTEM OPTIONS]
   First Partition = P00;
   First Terminal  = T00;
   # of Partitions = 9;

[CONSOLE SESSION OPTIONS]
   Session = T00-005, P00, 5, F0,80,FF,F0,B0;

[GATEWAYS]
   Gateway = 2,0;    Sort gateway
   Gateway = 3,0;    XAP gateway
   Gateway = 4,0;    Winsock gateway
   Gateway = 5,0;    ODBC gateway
   Gateway = 6,0;    Universal gateway (fax)

[END]
