Subject: SETENV Program Sent

I have sent the SETENV program.  There have been a number of inquiries
which the code in this program may help satisfy.  Some people wanted to
know how to generate longer paths.  Although this program does not do so
directly, it could be modified to do so.  A recent inquiry wanted to
know how in C he could access an environment variable in the parent
environment.  This program does so, and can be used as a template for
further development.  SETENV works just like SET with a somewhat more
relaxed syntax.  My original reason for developing it was because the
SET command would not allow an '=' character in the environment string.
SETENV makes no such restriction.  The original coding in the ENVVAR
module was done by "Jim Anderson" <[e-mail]> and the rest
of the modifications and development was by me "David J. Camp"
<[e-mail]> .  Good Luck in your development!
