  Why? Isn't it better to use .ini files in Window, then one do not have
  to make two completely different packages, but use the same routines ?

Yes it would be nice if we could come up with a general solution. At the
moment my config file is looking something like this:

[Program]
Name=Glosa
Version=0.8

[Directories]
Storage=/home/randhol/Misc/Greek/Modern_Greek_for_Foreigners/
Graphics=/usr/share/pixmaps/glosa/
Help=/usr/share/pixmaps/glosa/

[Settings]
Examine_Attempts= 2
Examine_Order=ORDERED

etc...

of course one could use XML too, but it seems a bit of an overkill.
