Those cnf/ini files are in the /ctrl directory, not the /exec 
directory... what I'm referring to are some utilities/scripts that 
use/modify an ini file in /exec.

Main risk is a new script/app using something that isn't .ini inside the 
/sbbs/exec directory, which I *REALLY* hope nothing does... as it is, 
would be nice of everything was limited to ctrl and data.
