Oct. 1993. Changes to PerfMon perfc???.ini and perfh???.ini files ------------------------------------------------------ These init files used to be under oakbin for NT1.0. However, for NT1.0a, these counter names and help texts are removed from the registry to save size and improve system performance. (save 200K bytes of pool paged per language). The newPerfmon will look for these names in PerfC???.dat and PerfH???.dat inside the System32 directory. If you have to modify any of the ini files, you have to run a utility to convert them into a data file. The utility, initodat.exe, is in sdktools\cntrtext\initodat. This tool will convert the ini file to dat file in the same directory. You have to move it to the System32 directory after the conversion. InitoDat filename Usage:- filename is the name of the initialization file that contains the counter name definitions or explain text for a specific language. Initodat will create a data file using the same name with .dat extension in the current directory. Please direct any question/comments to either RezaB or a-honwah.
