Dies ist die Liste der Standard-Abschnitte in der Datei 'GEOS.INI' in alfabetischer Reihenfolge. Die Einzelnen Applikationen wie GeoWrite, GeoCalc, GeoFile etc. erzeugen ihre eigenen Abschnitte. Deren Inhalt ist hier nicht aufgelistet.

In den folgenden Heften werde ich die einzelnen Abschnitte detaillierter vorstellen, mit den möglichen Einträgen und deren Auswirkungen. Diese Liste ist ein bearbeiteter Auszug aus der SDK-Dokumentation.

Ich empfehle, vor Versuchen an der GEOS.INI unbedingt eine Kopie anzulegen, um bei etwaigen Problemen in den Anfangszustand zurückkehren zu können.
Tip: Geht alles schief: die Stapeldatei 'reset.bat' im Hauptverzeichnis von GEOS (GEOS20) ablaufen lassen.
