Have you tried linking? Those functions should be in the MIPS C RTL.
They are pretty standard Unix functions, and both are mentioned in
section 3 of my copy of the MIPS ULTRIX docset. I think what is con-
fusing you is that stdlib.h is not available on MIPS ULTRIX yet.
It is an ANSI standard header, and the current release of MIPS
ULTRIX is much farther from ANSI standard than VAX C.
Try doing a "man system" and a "man getenv" at the command prompt
on your DECstation.
