"Ini" is a very old standard. It is probably the simplest setting system ever. Polly does not need anything more complex. And ini files in her do a lot, simply. Part of our issue is we developed already something so featured (Restore, Backup. Zip Archive, Parrot) that can be run via a menu, or automated in two ways. The very richness is a sign we got it right. I think Mark & I stumbled on an obvious that is very rich. I am not even sure even we yet understand fully ourselves yet the territory we wander in. But I do think documentation needs work because Polly is SO flex TT > Here's a variation of one I actually use.
