Charles Petzold: PM Functions in Non-PM Programs – As a rule, Presentation Manager functions can be called only from within PM programs. as INISHOW.EXE demonstrates, however, rules can sometimes be broken. In: PC Magazine. Band8, Nr.11. Ziff Davis, 13. Juni 1989, S.343ff., But maybe … (englisch, eingeschränkte Vorschau in der Google-Buchsuche): “First, some background. Many applications need to store program initialization or configuration data.”

Sybex, 1998, ISBN 978-0-7821-1974-9, S.128, Contents of .INI Files (englisch, eingeschränkte Vorschau in der Google-Buchsuche): “It's hard to draw a clear and distinct line between what SYSTEM.INI and WIN.INI do, as WIN.INI has existed since the Windows 1.0 days and SYSTEM.INI has only been around since version 3.0. Although it's tempting to say that SYSTEM.INI controls the hardware configuration of Windows, and WIN.INI contains user preferences and software configuration, that's not 100 percent accurate.”

In: PC Magazine. Band8, Nr.11. Ziff Davis, 13. Juni 1989, S.343ff., WIN.INI and OS2.INI (englisch, eingeschränkte Vorschau in der Google-Buchsuche): “The WIN.INI file created by Microsoft Windows in the \WINDOWS directory in in many ways similar to OS2.INI, and the functions that Windows provides applications to use WIN.INI are similar to the Presentation Manager functions. The most significant difference is that WIN.INI is an editable ASCII file, while OS2.INI is a binary file. … directly editing the OS2.INI file is not possible, though much of the system information in OS2.INI can be changed by using the Presentation Manager Control Panel program. … Programs can store information in OS2.INI only through PM functions, such as WinWriteProfileData.”
William S. Hall: Getting More Out of Windows. In: PC Magazine. Band8, Nr.11. Ziff Davis, 13. Juni 1989, S.385ff., WIN.INI (englisch, eingeschränkte Vorschau in der Google-Buchsuche): “As you can see, a WIN.INI entry is fairly readable. That doesn't necessarily mean it makes a lot of sense—it's always wise to look at the relevant documentation if the meaning of a particular field isn't clear. Comments can be placed in WIN.INI by using a semicolon. … In some older versions of Windowsm placing an = or bracketed text in a commented line could cause problems. Despite the semicolon, the line was often interpreted as a section name or as keyname=value. It's probably a good idea to avoid the use of =, [, or ] in a comment.”
