Editors note: Please note that some lines may wrap in the template code.
I have a application that needs to allow the user to save column width
changes but not the whole FORMAT of a list box between sessions. Somewhat
unusual, but others probably face it too sometimes. I wrote this template
to do the job for ABC procedures. Feel free to use, change it as you wish.
It uses PUTINI and GETINI rather than the INI manager class. I have never
undersood the purpose of the INI manager when the direct functions are so
simple.
