The fact is CM> text configs are in fact easier, and more efficient once you get used CM> to handling them. CM> Using search functions in text editors lets you find anything CM> you need, search and replace functions allow for easy alteration CM> should something change like, say your BBS phone number in all your CM> origin lines etc etc. Setting up multiple msg areas, or file areas, CM> with many similar settings is much easier with cut'pastes than CM> manually typing each entry in. Text configs allow for easily written CM> utilities to alter configuations and settings of programs which use CM> text configs. Text configs also mean that added features usually will CM> not require upgrade programs to be run to convert file structures etc CM> etc etc. There's pros and cons either way. In some situations, programs are more efficient, especially where there's a lot of variables which are dependent on each other. OTOH, text configs are great for remote maintainance or where you use "quick and dirty" methods to alter the configs on the fly. As someone once suggested, the ideal would be a text based config file with a menu (or even GUI) front end. Incidentally, some Windows applications actually approach this ideal "best of both worlds". :-) Of course, one could write a program to manipulate text based configs, if need be. :-) ...
