API Changes

  1. The most notable of the changes are that the Windows call GetPrivateProfileString ()  is not present on a UNIX machine, meaning INI file processing routines must be written.
  2. Also, dlopen (), dlsym (), and dlclose ()  will take the place of the Windows LoadLibrary (), GetProcAddress (),  and FreeLibrary ()  calls.
  3. Instead of CR/LF (ASCII 0x0D/0x0A) line endings which are seen on DOS/Windows, the line ending characterfor INI files will be a single LF character (ASCII 0x0A) commonly called a "newline" character.
  4. RP 1210 INI section names and variable names are not case sensitive. Application RP1210 INI file parsing can take care of this, just like the Windows call GetPrivateProfileString ()  did.
