[Dx4win] DX4WIN 909 config file : MORE QUESTIONS

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

> What is the relation between these config.txt and config.dat files? Are these .DAT files reflecting only the current config status of the program?

In DX4WIN 8.05 and earlier:

DX4WIN.CFG - configuration file, binary format, can not edit.  Saved
every time your exit DX4WIN

<config>.INI - saved configuration file written by "Write
Configuration File" from Preferences, text form, can edit.  This is a
text-format backup of your DX4WIN preferences.  You can import this
into your existing DX4WIN preferences if you need to restore them for
some reason.


In DX4WIN 9.01 and earlier:

CONFIG.DAT - configuration file, binary format, can not edit.  Saved
every time your exit DX4WIN

<config>.TXT - saved configuration file written by "Write
Configuration File" from Preferences, text form, can edit.  This is a
text-format backup of your DX4WIN preferences.  You can import this
into your existing DX4WIN preferences if you need to restore them for
some reason.


So:

    DX4WIN.CFG -> CONFIG.DAT
    <config>.INI -> <config>.TXT
