Files are the original databases, in some cases the original versions
still win i features over the newer complexy stuff. In some cases not.
Disk full can destroy any db server as well. Maybe even worse, depand on
the db in use.

TO make this hadling easier collections of rutines and code evolved
maiking data base servers like berkly db, and so on, a try on making a
standard interface sql, (that however have so many variations you need to
adapt to each db anyhow...) 

That sais the .ini file format is crap, and sure something eaiser and
better could be used. And writing to files have to be sonsiders how to
do. DB have the one problems in interface, it's much easier to with
figure out how it was planned by opeingine a plain text or simular file
thet dumping a releational data base.
