Correct. CheckINI was always hanging so I dusted off my UniMaint box
and installed it.

UniMaint failed too. I forget what was happening, but it had a bug.
They fixed the bug and sent me a new version (5.10.25 dated 15Feb2002)
and it worked. And it apparently fixed whatever was killing CheckINI
because after that, CheckINI worked again. For a while. It hangs all
the time now.

Stuff that UniMaint removes from my INI files later reappears about half
the time. I don't know why. I've tried resetting the WPS or rebooting
immediately after running it but that doesn't seem to keep the files
from reappearing. Usually after the second run they are gone for good.
It's really strange because if I run UniMaint twice in succession the
second run always shows nothing to remove, but after a reboot sometimes
the files are back. This might happen with CheckINI also, I've never
investigated it.
