INI system questions.

Hi guys, does anyone know what limitations the INI file system has?

Whats the largest INI file size you can have?

Would it be fast enough to turn into a limited sort of flat-text database (for my MUD server)?  Or am I better off making up my own?

try it out. I think ini is pretty fast.

More than happy to mate, cause it would solve a lot of problems for me.

Is there a file size limit though?  That one is pretty important as they might get rather large.  Hmm unless I stick to small, individual files instead of trying to put a lot of records into one file.

Ah I'll give it a go anyway.

Edit: It is fast, but I can't store/retrieve multi-line strings so will have to come up with my own system...

Could always go for single line comments - and separate each by a comma or something.

One other limitation is that no comments are allowed between each section name.
