Also what is TINIT.C?

Both CONFIG and TINIT are programs designed for the TVI
950 CRT terminal. CONFIG is used to interactively specify how a
user wants his terminal to be programmed, allowing him to select
between five different cursors, various terminal attributes such
as key click, the text of his user line, and the text programmed
into each of the 11 function keys. It also has the capability of
writing the selections out to disk in a data file that can be
later read by CONFIG or by TINIT, whose function is to read such
a data file and program the terminal (TINIT=Terminal INIT).
Since CONFIG and TINIT are written in C and are quite
modular in their design, it is not too difficult to modify these
programs to work for other intelligent terminals, such as a
H19/H88/H89 or VT100.
In use, I typically maintain several .CFG files. One is
the standard, general-purpose configuration file, one is for do-
ing software development in C (programs the function keys to in-
voke the compiler, etc), one is for doing software development in
PASCAL, and one is for doing software development in assembly
language (with different function keys invoking different assem-
blers). There is also a configuration file for doing text pro-
cessing.
