                               Preamble
                               ~~~~~~~~

  This useful library for C - programs is written  by  me  after  long
hours  of  work on the library of windows for DOS ( such as:  a  menu,
lists, check and radio buttons, editor. Since size of code was greater
than 100 kb and library don't look  as  perfection  I  has  understood
that for adjusting of most programs interactivity is superfluous,  but
for many intermediate and  auxiliary  utilities  -  ruinous.  Lack  of
possibility of direct contact with the user  is  easy  indemnifies  an
entering the necessary keys in files of initialization,  in  addition,
as  a  rule,  all  situations  can  be  known  at  stage  of   program
development.
  I has taken as a basis  format  -  Windows.ini  files,  have  little
enlarged depth of sections and has added light preprocessor in it.

                               Introduction
                               ~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Library for working with files of initializing a  project  presents
itself a realization of idea of  transmission  of  parameters  to  the
program and their keeping through the file of initialization. File  of
initializing a program  presents  itself  ASCII  file,  building  from
records   of   sections,   subsections   and   records   of     class:
variable=value. The same name of variable, but  written  in  different
sections and subsections - are considered as different.  Variable  can
be declared outside of subsections or  sections.  Full  name  variable
consists of section, subsection and name of variable. Section opens  a
block logically bound between itself  of  subsections  and  variables.
Subsection, accordingly, opens a blockette logically  bound  variable.
Main idea of making such hierarchy conclude  in  that  that  one  .ini
file can be used by several programs.

                                Description
                                ~~~~~~~~~~~
Structure .ini file:

[ square brackets ] - is described section. Section - a global subject
                      for  the  group  of  specifiers.  For   example,
                      describes a program or group of programs.
                              . . .
                             [ Boot ]
                              . . .
                             [ Root ]
                              . . .
< corner brackets > - is   described   subsection.   Subsection     is
                      tantamount to sections,  but  inheres  on  other
                      level. For  example,  describes  subsections  of
                      some program.
                                  . . .
                               < Subtopic1 >
                                  . . .
                               < Subtopic2 >
                                   . . .
name = value - name - logical variable, compared  with  some  variable
                      or flag of program.
                      value - a value of this variable.  In  principle
                      any string constant.
                      For example:
                                 . . .
                            Radius  =  100.098
                            SmartCompute = yes
                            Output = display
                            OutFile = result.res
                                 . . .
;                   - A   symbol   a   commentary.  Reading  data  are
                      considered as commentaried  from  the  place  of
                      meeting of symbol ';' and until the newline.
                      For example:
                            . . .
                          ; - it commentary
                          debug = full ; possible - full, off , min
                            . . .
# - a symbol of preprocessor and file processor:
    #include " fff " - expand this line of contents of file fff.
    #set var = value - declared logical variable  var  and  associates
                       it with value. For example:
                            . . .
                          #set filename = my_file
                          #set ext      = dat
                          #set suffix   = 001
                            . . .
    #delete var - deletes variable var from the list of variables.
    #reset - deletes all variables.
Attention !!!!! Use any undeclared  or  removed  variable  will  bring
                about  error  (error  will  be   described   in   file
                file_sys.$$$) Example to variable:

                . . .
        #set files = hello
        #set ext   = out
        #set suffix = 001

        Outfiles = %files%%suffix%.%ext%; ==> Outfiles = hello001.out

        #delete suffix

        Outfiles = %files%%suffix%.%ext%; ==> Error: suffix removed
             . . .

    #case - switches on case sensitivity of program ( by default)
    #uppercase - translates  the all reading below information in the
                 upper case
    #lowercase - translates  the all reading below information in the
                 lower case
    #smart - switches on an extension variable comprised by symbols
             %... %. This mode is accepted by default.
    #nosmart - switches off an extension variables. Symbol % becomes
               as usual symbol

    #if - Opens a conditional section.
                        After #if must follow a condition of type:
                        one of earlier declared by #set variable .ini
                        file, sign of comparison:
                        ==, != as in C language.
                        and hereinafter value of variable.
                        Complex conditions in  given  realization  are
                        not supported,  use  nested  #if  construction
                        instead.  Method  a  comparison  of  lines   :
                        strcmp.

    #else - executes a conditional section, if condition was false
    #elif - similarly   sections   #else,  but  with  the   additional
            condition ( refer to #if ).
    #endif - closes #if section

Example:

          . . .
      #set a = hello
      #if  a == hello
         . . .
      #else
       #if a <= hello
         . . .
       #endif
      #endif
         . . .

    #error "message" - put the "message" in file  of  errors  as  user
                       message
