What is the new ISETLW.INI file?
ISETLW.INI is a standard Windows initialization file (ini file). If present, this file contains options customized during a session of ISETLW.
Where is the ISETLW.INI file located?
ISETLW will look for ISETLW up to three times, in the following order:
1. The program directory (where ISETLW.EXE is running)
2. The current directory (Window's working directory)
3. Window's directory (from where WIN.COM was run)
As soon as a copy of ISETLW.INI is found, ISETLW stops looking and reads this file.
What if there is no ISETLW.INI?
A default ini file is included with ISETLW 2.0. However, if ISETLW.INI is not found, the user is given the option of:
1. Creating ISETLW.INI in the program directory
2. Creating ISETLW.INI in Window's directory
3. Looking for an extraneous ISETLW 2.0 ini file
If option (3) is selected, the user can:
1. Browse for ISETLW.INI in a location other than the above three.
2. Browse for an ISETLW ini file under another name.
3. Create a new ISETLW ini file (by entering a filename which doesn't exist).
4. Bypass using an ini file (by clicking CANCEL).
What options are specified in ISETLW.INI?
The following are ISETLW.INI entries:
| ENTRY | MEANING | DEFAULT |
|---|---|---|
| Font | Name of font to use | Times New Roman |
| Include | Files to !include | isetl.stl |
| Timing | Calculation timing | off |
| Buttons | Buttons for toolbar | Open,Save,Print,Run,Interrupt, Undo,Cut,Copy,Paste,Exit |
| WorkDirectory | (See below) | none |
What is the WorkDirectory entry?
If a directory is specified in the WorkDirectory entry of the ini file, then ISETLW will attempt to use ISETLW.INI in the directory specified. If this file does not exist, it is created silently with the default options. This option must be edited manually outside of ISETLW.
[OPTIONS]
Font=Times New Roman
Include=ISETL.STL;
Timing=0
Buttons=1;3;5;7;8;10;11;12;13;9;

ISETL.INI is an ISETL file that can be executed by ISETLW with the following command:
!include isetl.ini
It is recommended that the name of this file be changed to ISETL.STL to avoid confusion between an !include file and a windows ini file.
The ISETL.STL file can be used to !include standard routines, such as the .stl files included in this download. See ISETLW online help for how to !include ISETL.STL automatically during startup.
If you are a user of ISETLW 1.x or 2.0b1, then you will need to rename your ISETLW.INI file to ISETL.STL and copy/move it to the ISETLW 2.0 directory.
!echo off
