I need some help please :-)

I am working with a friend at porting a game from a Cyber 845 to a UN*X
machine at the University of Minnesota.  The port is going fine with the
exception of finding out the players username.  Is there a way to read
the $user variable (short of including a C function call)?  If it is any
help the machine is an Encore Multimax.  But I would like to keep all
system dependencies out of this program (this is the main reason for
getting it off the Cyber). 

Please send responses to:    rutgers!umn-cs!darryl@ux.acss.umn.edu
but I wouldn't mind getting some mail here either.
 
Thanx in advance.....
