How about the AES call SHEL_ENVRN (but then that would require GEM).
I know Alcyon has a binding for it.
int shel_envrn (char** value, char* env_str_value);
shel_envrn - should always return 1
value - the address of a char* to be returned, which will
be the byte following the '=' in the environment
string.
env_str_value - environment value to search for ('=' will be
included).
Also I've had comment from ljdickey@water.waterloo.edu that
cw - removes trailing blanks
x - does not move back one. (I like it as is - Ant)
Wish list:
:<m,n>m# - move lines m - n after line #
:<m,n>t# - copy lines m - n after line #
set number - prefix line with line numbers
lvrc.inf - how about a lvrc file for GEM instead of the
environment variable. I like to have this
program on disks that don't have a shell handy.
This program is a gem!! I'm going make my shareware contribution
as soon as I start my work term.
