Which method for storing data, config or xml?

[sal]

Hi,
I have a set of 10 variables whose formula for calculating their value changes based on another parameter. For example, if the parameter value is 1, then variable a=a*0.3, and if the parameter value is 2, then variable a=a+4, etc, etc.
Currently, this information is stored in a plain text file. As I am rewriting the application, I would like to store the information ia a more universal format. I was thinking of either xml or ini (using the configuration file vi's) format. What are your suggestions?

Thanks!

Of the two, an *.ini would be preferable and easier to generate. Unless you have a need for communicating this setup information over the web, XML would be needless complication.
