Something similar (but probably not identical to) the above would have my vote
(I'll explain below). I would clarify that if ldraw.ini can't be found in the
user's home directory (aka the user profile directory), then the Windows
directory should be checked. The %USERPROFILE% environment variable tells you
where the directory is, and if that variable doesn't exist, then skip that step
and fall back to the Windows directory. If the environment variable doesn't
exist in Windows 95, it doesn't really matter, because you know the Windows
directory will be writable.
I don't think the above can be used as-is, because I'm not sure it's kosher to
have lines like that in an ini file. Normally all the lines in an ini file have
an equals sign in them somewhere. For sections being parsed as sections,
instead of individual items, is it ok to forego the equals sign? As long as the
data is in an ini file, I want it to be a valid ini file.
