Oh, I'm familiar with the JPSoft command prompt replacements (was on the beta team for a while); I just didn't realize that 4NT would run on Win 9x - those were designed for the WinNT-stream products, hence my comments above. If you're running on Win98 or WinME, I believe you can get the Windows Scripting Host for those as well, as a freebie d/l from MS. I don't think it'll work on Win95, though.

Back to your original question, though - I poked 'Pascal library read ini' into Google, and one of the pages it came back with was http://www.bookcase.com/library/software/msdos.devel.apps.turbo-pascal.html. That page contains a LONG listing of libraries and utilities for Pascal, mostly the Borland series, and one of the items listed was EZ-INI1S, with a link to ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/turbopas/ez_ini1s.zip - so have fun!
