I guess I could export part of the registry, work on that file, then import it again. Not exactly what I was looking for*. I need to be able to work directly with the registry. You can't delete keys by importing .reg files. Thanks anyway. -- Paul Vanukoff * To clarify, I want to write a DOS based registry cleaner & editor.

See "windows 95 in a nutshell" for more info. This along with the system( ) function could satisfy your needs. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Vanukoff [mailto:nobody AT primenet DOT com] Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2000 1:25 PM To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Subject: DOS based registry lib I know this is a long shot, but ... are there any libraries out there to access the Windows registry from DOS? I've found some Win32 libs, but I want to try to write a DOS based registry editor with DJGPP. -- Paul Vanukoff
