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