33 -- The registry is a Windows database to store key/value pair. It is used
34 -- to keep Windows operation system and applications configuration options.
35 -- The database is a hierarchal set of key and for each key a value can
36 -- be associated. This package provides high level routines to deal with
37 -- the Windows registry. For full registry API, but at a lower level of
38 -- abstraction, refer to the Win32.Winreg package provided with the
39 -- Win32Ada binding. For example this binding handle only key values of
40 -- type Standard.String.
42 -- This package is specific to the NT version of GNAT, and is not available
43 -- on any other platforms.
