Message-ID: <1990Dec8.221952.13371@cs.utk.edu> Date: 8 Dec 90 22:19:52 GMT Sender: news@cs.utk.edu (USENET News System) Organization: University of Tennessee, Knoxville - CS Department Lines: 9 Originator: andrew@duncan.cs.utk.edu I would like to be able to set environmental variables in my shell program the same way Neodesk does it. I tried using the unix-like execve to execute programs, giving it the pointer to the environmental strings, but it didn't work. What's the deal ? Does anybody have an example of how to do it ? I think there was a discussion on this topic a while back (3 weeks), but I missed it totally. Please help! Thanks in advance to all respondents. -andrew krzywdzinski (andrew@cs.utk.edu)
