Over time, I've found writing INI files (section followed by key/value pairs) to be easier than writing the LV code to read and write the INI files. So, here is a small tool to automate the generation of code for reading and writing existing INI files. Download zip, open project, open and run GenINI_Main.vi. Point the top file control to an existing standard INI file (like the one included in the Test folder, for instance) Click the "Read File" button, and select the Key Type for each entry from the INI file. Click the "Generate Code" button to spit out the read and write VI's (saved in the same folder as the INI file). There are a fair number of limitations and possible enhancements, but I would love to hear any feedback people might have before I complicate this too much. Thank you kindly, Joe Z. GenINI.zip

OK, here's a recap of some of the things I experienced this past week: I saw people swimming in an outdoor pool (around 8 AM). I saw people sunbathing. I had lunch outside. I had lunch in a hotel restaurant atop a mountain overlooking the ocean with the sun shining. I drove about four minutes from where I live and saw the snow on the mountains about 60 miles away. I walked around in sandals and a short-sleeved shirt. P.S. Regarding "Snowmaggedon" - I drove by the actual Armaggedon1 a few times this week and there was no snow in sight2 . For those who don't know this, Armaggedon comes from "Har Meggido", which means "Mount Meggido" in Hebrew, and it's about 35 minutes from where I live3. Not that there would be. The "mountain" is only a few hundred meters in height. The site is actually by a pretty major crossroads, hence its importance throughout history. There are always people hitchhiking there and I always thought the name "Hitchhiking at Armaggedon" would be a great name for a prog-rock album4. Don't you just love nested comments5? Help! How do I stop6? Aaaaaaaah!
