Making an sys file from an .ini file

I have successfully changed my midio128.ini file for the keyboards of my project. However, when I went to update the 2nd core, I cannot get the batch program to convert the midio128.ini file. I have revised the file, saved the file and then click on the "make" icon, but nothing is changed. The time stamp on the .ini file is an old one and does not reflect that a change has taken place. When I test the file in Midiox, I get the old .ini file! 

I have deleted, reloaded the mk_midio128_syx multiple times, but to no avail. Is there another way to do this? Is the Pearl program messed up? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The perl script mk_midio128_syx.pl converts a MIDIO128 .ini file into a

.syx (SysEx) file which can be transfered to the Device via MIDI-OX

or any other SysEx Loader

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step by Step

~~~~~~~~~~~~

   -> customize the .ini file for your needs

   -> start the script

   -> transfer the .syx file to your MIDIO128

How to start the script?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   o UNIX

     Perl comes with the most UNIX systems like Linux, BSD, Solaris, ... -

     if you own such an OS, just start the script with (example)

        ./mk_midio128_syx.pl midio128.ini

        -> the resulting syx file is named "midio128.syx"

   o DOS/Windows Users should install ActivePerl, which is available at the

     following site:

        http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/index/

     Get the .msi package and follow the installation instructions

     (Win98 users have to install the Microsoft Windows Install 1.1+,

     too)

     To start the script just open a command window and type (i.e.)

        perl mk_midio128_syx.pl midio128.ini

        -> the resulting syx file is named "midio128.syx"
