One of my larger complaints is the lack of environment variables.
On one of the fish disks (and posted to the net a while ago) is
my environment variable `set' command which constructs a resident
environment variable library; these are easily accessed from C.
If anyone doesn't have a copy, let me know and I'll send it to you.
I wish I had the power to set a standard . . .
