As you know, the start-up settings for Cosw.Exe are stored in the Cosw.Ini file. In Comet2004, we’ve provided for a second Ini file that can serve as a “global” Ini file. The global Ini file acts as a replacement for Cosw.Ini or can work in conjunction with Cosw.Ini to provide overriding global settings (e.g., font translation, etc.) for users throughout a network.
If you decide to use a global Ini file, you must follow these rules:
Note: During a Comet session, some Ini file settings may change. All settings, if they are to be saved, are saved in Cosw.Ini.
We have also added a new setting to the [Comet] section of the Ini file. That setting is the ExclusiveIni flag. The format is:
[Comet]
If n = 1, then Cosw.Exe will not look for another Ini file. For example, if the ExclusiveIni = 1 setting is in the Cosw.Ini file, Cosw.Exe will not look for the global Ini file (CoswGlob.Ini). Likewise, if the ExclusiveIni = 1 setting is in the CoswGlob.Ini file, Cosw.exe will not look for the local Ini file (Cosw.Ini).
If the ExclusiveIni = 0 setting is in the Cosw.Ini file, then Cosw.Exe looks in the Comet system folder for the CoswGlob.Ini file.
Note: Regarding the one exception mentioned above, Cosw.Exe always looks in Cosw.Ini first to determine the ExclusiveIni setting. Thus, to use the global Ini file exclusively, make the following entries:
Because Cosw.Exe settings are always saved to Cosw.Ini, if Cosw.Ini has been excluded (via ExclusiveIni =1 in CoswGlob.Ini), Cosw.Exe settings will not be saved at all. This feature would allow read-only media to be used to launch a Comet (or CometAnywhere) session.
