I want to write a small application that modifies the PATH before I run another application from it. I've tried putenv, but it doesn't seem to work. I was sure it worked under Win2. Does anyone have any ideas? After a call to putenv, the environment variable (retrieved with getenv) is usually blank - but not always! It's very unpredictable. -- +--------------------------------------+ | Roger Hadgraft +----------------------------------+ | Senior Lecturer | hadgraft@civeng.monash.edu.au | | Dept of Civil Engineering | phone: +61 3 565 4983 | | Monash University | fax: +61 3 565 4944 or 3409 | | Clayton, Vic. 3168.
