Well, I guess this ought to have a document file. Goodness
knows why, I've overdone the comments as never before. You may
even want to throw out all of the comments after you read the
code--but don't blame me if you can't remember how "my" search
worked afterwards!
This archive should have contained the following files:
ENVIRONM.DOC, this file
DOS.INC, a function to determine the version of DOS being run
ENVIRONM.INC, Environment-searching routines
PARSPATH.INC, a PATH-handling routine, with demo
ENV-DEMO.PAS, a demo of ENVIRONM.INC and DOS.INC
I've ARCed and uploaded this stuff only because I have been
asked for or about it a few times. I know a lot of people
would like to use the PATH, even if they use no more of the
Environment than that, but they don't have the documentation
or don't know where to start, etc. Well, I guess what this
stuff is is "where to start".
The comments spell out where I recognize that improvements
could be made either in "elegance" or reliability. Within the
limitations inherent in my use of strings, I think this code
is bug-free and bullet-proof. If you find otherwise, please
let me know via hard mail or email:
