It's not a bug. GetIni is defined as another procedure that wraps some
additional error checking around SysIni.

Oh well, I guess that I will have to blow away an evening or two with
the UniMaint manual trying to figure this out. I just wish that I knew
WHY I could fix the HTML (and HTM) associations with ASSOEDIT.... and
the same fix for GIF, JPG, and BMP files doesn't do anything.

ASSOEDIT is such a nice, understandable tool. Oh well, on to UniMaint
maze of menus and windows that take you on to other windows and more
menus....

Curses to the idea of a binary hive of system configuration infomation
that is only accessible with special tools. And I don't care much for
the NT registry editor either.
