The registry never REPLACED TInifile, although the documentation seems to
steer you that way. If you have large amounts of data that you need to store
somewhere for your program, it's a much better idea to store it in an
Inifile, or other datafile. That way, the user can back it up/copy it easily
and you don't make their registry huge.
