Glossary - Terms and Definitions

CFSPoker uses a standard OS/2-style INI file to preserve its settings and other values. The INI file is automatically created when the program is launched and the designated INI file does not exist. The INI file is updated when CFSPoker ends or on demand.

The default INI file is CFSPoker.INI and is created in the directory where CFSPoker is initially installed. If you have installed a CFSPoker.KEY file, you can choose the name of the an alternate INI file CFSPoker is to use. You can also create secondary INI files by copying the existing CFSPoker.INI file to a file with a different name.

If multiple players are using the game, and they want to keep their credits and other values separate, unique INI files must be used. Only one copy of a specific CFSPoker INI file can be used at a time.

The name of the INI file that CFSPoker is to use is specified in the Parameters: field of the Settings notebook for the object used to launch CFSPoker or as a command line parameter if CFSPoker is started from an OS/2 command line session. The following example shows the Settings notebook entry for an alternate INI file - Busters.INI.

Example

Note 1:  

The INI file must be specified with a full file system name if it is to reside in a directory other than the default directory for CFSPoker.

Note 2:  

Without an enabling key, only one copy of CFSPoker can be installed on your system and it must use the CFSPoker.INI file.
