This function initializes PIL library. This function has to be called before
any other PIL function (there are some
exceptions to this rule). It does the following :
Based on PILModuleName (or argv[0] if PILModuleName is empty) calculates
name of parameter file. Usually name
of parameter file equals argv[0] + ".par" suffix but this can be overriden
by calling PILSetModuleName and/or
PILSetModuleVersion before calling PILInit. After successful termination
parameter file is opened and read in, and
global variable PILRunMode is set to one of the following values :
ISDC_SINGLE_MODE
ISDC_SERVER_MODE
ISDC_SERVER_MODE is set whenever there is parameter "ServerMode" and its
value is "yes" or "y". In any other case PILRunMode is set
to ISDC_SINGLE_MODE.
