I would like to have some "global variables" remain alive even after the
program ends so that the next program can access them. I tried to set
environment variables inside the program using
   system("set v=...");
in Turbo C. Unfortunately, the effect is only local to that program. Is
there any way to set the global environment variables in a program? Or is
there a better way to serve the same purpose?

Thank you in advance,
