We had a few discussions on the plucker-dev lists regarding .ini files and where to 
put things. 
This would have been in fall 2001, back at the design stage and planning stage. I 
spent a good 
time asking about ini format, as there is a zero sum of available time, and I did not 
want that 
time redesigning config files in a different way after release. 

It was decided to use a single .ini file, arranged by section, so that there was only 
one .ini 
file for tools to track down and manipulate. Channels were decided to be put in the 
.ini file 
also, to enable "-s" overrides of sections. I was ambivalent about either approach 
(inclusive 
vs. separate files), but specifically didn't want to start one way, then go back and 
completely 
rewrite/redebug again with the other approach.

Best wishes,
Robert
