Eric,
I would suggest using a tree and do the following :

rootnode = ini filename
parentnode = section name
childnode = property
valuenode = property value

so for myprogram.ini

[Start]
WINDOWS=1
FONT=Courier

[Finish]
END=ThanksPage

parse it so that..

rootnode=myprogram.ini
    parentnode=Start
        childnode=WINDOWS
            valuenode=1
        childnode=FONT
            valuenode=Courier
    parentnode=Finish
        childnode=END
            valuenode=ThanksPage

This will give you lots of functionality for large ini's and is very
reusable.
Mica
