Command-line options -e & -f

If PDOXWORK.INI contains more than an empty Folder section, Paradox will
read settings from PDOXWORK.INI instead of from registry.

Hi,

the -e switch helped me a lot: after installing Win XP (and Paradox 8),
all
changes I made in "Preferences" were successfully written into Registry.
However, at the same time pdoxwork.ini file has been created on exit
(almost
empty, with 2 lines or so). Next time Paradox started, it did not read the
preferences from the Registry, but from this stupid file. I did not find
any way how to stop Paradox creating this file, so in the end I made all
neccessary changes manually in Registry, and since then I always start
Paradox
with -e -n switches to ensure that 1) the Registry settings remain
unchanged,
and 2) pdoxwork.ini is not created anymore.

No idea about the usability of the -f switch, though.

Regards,

Jan
