[comp.lang.pascal] turbo 5.0 dos stuff

wayne@cs.odu.edu (C Wayne Huling) (11/22/89)

I got two questions that are not entriely related but I have no idea how to
do this.

1) How can I use DOS environment variables in a pascal program.  In particular
  I want to put the server program in one directory and the client programs
  in another.  How can I use the dos file varialbe in pascal.

2) How do I link all the graphics packages into a standalone executable file
  that can run without the support files??

Use the GetEnv function (dos unit).

writeln ('environment for whatever is ', GetEnv(whatever));
											   ^
							a string, the environment variable
