This INIT.PEX is a Proboard v2.0 Init.PEX with a difference...

The sole purpose of this PEX is to run a list of other PEX files, which
is useful for initialisation. The alternative is to use the somewhat
limited capability for Proboard to run INIT*.PEX in the PEX directory,
which is limited to 10 PEX files, they must be in the PEX directory and
requires a certain naming (this might be inconvenient if the name of the
PEX file is used to locate a corresponding .INI file, for example).

This INIT.PEX simply reads in a list of PEX files and their arguments
and executes each one in turn in the order given. Note that all PEX
files are assumed to be in the PEX directory or a subdirectory of the
PEX directory, so that you should give a name which assumes that the
PEX directory will be added to the start of the PEX name (Proboard itself
does this, and it is entirely beyond my control...).

Note that INIT?.PEX are still executed - in fact, this can be installed
as an INIT?.PEX rather than INIT.PEX as distributed. If you do so, be
sure to rename INIT.INI to INIT?.INIT to correspond with the PEX file
name.
