The code fragment is as follows:-

AnsiString Name;

    Name = GetEnvironmentVariable("USERNAME");

The error message is:-

[Linker Error] Unresolved external '__fastcall 
Sysutils::GetEnvironmentVariableA(const System::AnsiString)' 
referenced from C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\MY 
DOCUMENTS\MYFILE.OBJ

I am using Borland 6 Professional, 
the description of the routine in Borland is that it is in the 
SysUtils unit, defined as follows:-

extern PACKAGE AnsiString__fastcall GetEnvironmentVariable
(const AnsiString Name);
