The progress.ini File and the Windows Registry
The
progress.ini
file specifies elements of the Windows user interface—for example, colors and fonts—that often vary across locales. Tailoring theprogress.ini
file is an important part of adapting an application to a particular locale.Progress supports the Windows registry and searches the registry first for system configuration information. However, you can still use initialization (
.ini
) files to ensure that applications are deployed and configured correctly and consistently across customer sites. The Progress installation program automatically copies information from the initialization file to the registry during installation. After installation, you can modify the initialization file, then run the Progress INI2REG utility to copy the new information from the initialization file to the registry. For information on the registry, on maintaining system configuration information, and on the INI2REG utility, see the Progress Client Deployment Guide and the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for Windows .NOTE: Theprogress.ini
file and the registry are used by Windows graphical-interface and character-interface applications only. They are not used by UNIX character-interface applications.The sections of the
progress.ini
file that typically have settings you might want to localize are the [Startup] section and the [fonts] section.
