I think it''s up to you, how you are going to handle the information you get from an INI file. In my programs I store the information in "normal variables", because all information i take from INI files I use throughout the whole program, so there is no use to generate it on run-time.
I hope i could help you a little bit.

There are Windows API functions to read ini files easily. GetPrivateProfileString is one of them I think.

I wish I had known that... I wrote my own ini file class. It does just about everything an ini file needs. Email me if you don''t want to go the way of windows...
