Yet another problem I cannot solve. I'm trying to set an environment variable from a C program that should be used in the primary shell. I've tried the TC/C++ function 'putenv ()' and it works fine aslong as I'm not leaving the program. Somehow it must be possible to set the variable so that it is stored in the primary shell and not lost when the program exits. I've also tried the third parameter with main (argn, argv, env) in a foolish attempt to get the array pointer from the startup shell, but no luck. I hope someone can help me. Any code examples or suggestions are welcome, I'm really stuck on this one. Cheers! ________________________________________________________________________________ Hans Beckerus Phone : +46 8 719 59 60 Ericsson Telecom AB Memo : ETX.ETXERUS AXE System Design E-mail : etxerus@james.ericsson.se 126 25 Stockholm SWEDEN
