Windows initialization (INI) files, such as WIN.INI or TDMGW.INI, are structured as
in the following example:

[SectionName1]

Keyword1=string

Keyword2=string

; Comment line beginning with a semicolon

.....

[SectionName2]

Keyword1=string

.....

Configuration options are grouped into sections, identified by the square brackets.
You can enter section names, keywords that identify configuration options, and
configuration options using lowercase letters, uppercase letters, or any combination.
The case of the letters is not significant.

A default for a configuration option is taken whenever the keyword for the option is
absent from the specified section of the initialization file (or the initialization file itself
is not found).

You create and modify all Tandem DDE Gateway configuration files with a text editor
such as the Windows Notepad application or DOS 5.0 Edit.

Note

For configuration changes (other than error text overrides) to take effect, you must stop and restart the
Tandem DDE Gateway.

Windows

Configuration File

The Windows configuration or initialization file (WIN.INI) is located in the same
directory where the Windows program (WIN.COM) is installed.

[Tdmgw] Section

The Tandem DDE Gateway runs as a Windows application. The name and location of
its configuration (initialization) file can be specified in a section of the Windows
configuration (initialization) file, the [Tdmgw] section. Only one entry is possible in
this section—the fully qualified file name (path plus file name) of the Tdmgw
configuration (initialization) file, similar to the following example:

TdmgwConfigurationFile=C:\CONFIG\TDMGW.INI

Create the [Tdmgw] section and enter this option if you want to override where the
Tandem DDE Gateway looks for its configuration (initialization) file. If you specify a
fully qualified file name (path plus file name) in this section, then you can name this
file something other than TDMGW.INI.

Default

If the TdmgwConfigurationFile option is not specified, then the Tandem DDE
Gateway program (TDMGW.EXE) looks for a TDMGW.INI file in the current
directory in effect when you start the Tandem DDE Gateway.

Example

TdmgwConfigurationFile=C:\TDMGW\GATEWAY.INI
