Hello all,

  Here's what we do:

-Copy a general set of files to the machine
-Run a few Korn shell scripts ( using a port of the Korn shell to DOS
since batch programing in dos is so painful)
-run a homegrown app chewini.exe which takes the output of the korn
scripts and makes all the necessary changes to the ini files.

It works ok but was a bit hard to set up in the first place.  The big
problem is that everything changes under Windows 95.  It uses the
registry instead of ini files so I have to come up with a new method.
Plus the program we use to copy down files (similar to PC-Rdist or
Rdist4PC) is DOS only.  Does anyone know of a program like these that
has been ported to Windows 95?
