regutils - win9x registry & ini file manipulation tools for unix
Regutils is a collection of programs that can assist in the installation
of windows 9x software on diskless clients.
The basic procedure is to take a snap shot of a (diskfull) system before
and after a piece of software is installed and then look at what changed.
The changes are then modified to suite the diskless environment and
applied to the directory tree on the client's server.
The programs in regutils can be used to identify, sort, modify and apply
the changes.
In addition, some of the programs in regutils can be used for other
purposes. For example, the iniedit and regedit programs can be used to
customize the client's win.ini and system.dat
registry as well as the user's user.dat registry and
may be used to modify the system's policy file, config.pol.
The regutils package is currently maintained by
