I want to write a small application that modifies the PATH before I run another
application from it. I've tried putenv, but it doesn't seem to work. I was sure
it worked under Win2. Does anyone have any ideas? After a call to putenv, the
environment variable (retrieved with getenv) is usually blank - but not always!
It's very unpredictable.
