SUMMARY
This article describes the changes made to the Win.ini file during Works for Windows setup.



MORE INFORMATION
Running the Works for Windows Setup program will make the following additions to the Win.ini file.

The sections are listed as follows: [Extensions] [MS Proofing Tools] [MS Text Converters] [MS Graphic Import Filters] [OLE] [Embedding] Below are the entries in those sections:

[Extensions]
wdb=\msworks.exe ^.wdb wps=\msworks.exe ^.wps wks=\msworks.exe ^.wks This allows Works for Windows files to run. There are three different types of files.

[MS Proofing Tools]
Spelling 1033,0=\msapps\proof\msspell.dll,\msapps\proof\mssp_am.lex Custom Dict 1=\msapps\proof\custom.dic

[MS Text Converters]
WrdPrfctDOS50=WordPerfect 5.0,\msapps\textconv\wpft5.cnv,doc WrdPrfctDOS=WordPerfect 5.1,\msapps\textconv\wpft5.cnv,doc MSWordWin=Word for Windows 1.x,\msapps\textconv\ wordwin1.cnv,doc Windows Write=Windows Write,\msapps\textconv\writwin.cnv,wri MSWorksWin=Works for Windows 2.0,\msapps\textconv\ wrkswin.cnv,wps

[MS Graphic Import Filters]
Computer Graphics Metafile(.CGM)=\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\cgmimp.flt,CGM Encapsulated Postscript(.EPS)=\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\epsimp.flt,EPS PC Paintbrush(.PCX)=<Windows path>\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\pcximp.flt,PCX Tagged Image Format(.TIF)=<Windows path>\MSAPPS\GRPHFLT\tiffimp.flt,TIF

In the [Embedding]
MSDraw=Microsoft Drawing,MicrosoftDrawing,<Windowspath>\msapps\msdraw\ msdraw.exe,picture,1 Note-It=MS Note-It,MS Note-It,<Windowspath>\msapps\note-it\note-it.exe, picture,1 MSWorksChart=MS Works Chart,MS Works Chart,<Works program path>\ msworks.exe,picture,1 MSWorksSpreadsheet=MS Works Spreadsheet,MS Works Spreadsheet,<Works program path>\msworks.exe,picture,1 These sections provide instructions to any application that may be using these shared filters (such as Works for Windows and Publisher) on how to access them.

This final section is added to WIN.INI but it is not used at this time. It was required in the original specification for OLE.

[OLE]
nomessagebox=yes Works for Windows also adds a directory called MSAPPS under the Windows directory. Under the MSAPPS directory, Works for Windows adds the following directories: \windows\proof where Works for Windows puts the spelling checker; \windows\textconv where Works for Windows puts text conversions; \windows\grphflt where Works for Windows puts graphic filters; \windows\note-it where Works for Windows puts Note-It; and \windows\msdraw where Works for Windows puts Microsoft Draw and its palettes.

NOTE: The MSAPPS directory is the area used by all Microsoft Solution Series applications to store similar files. For example, if you want to install Microsoft Publisher, the graphics filters would go under the  directory, and the text conversion files would go under the   directory.
