In the environment is the PATH variable, which you will be able to inspect. And if you declare main as follows: int main (argc, argv, envp) int argc; char **argv; char **envp; {} then envp points to a null terminated array of all the environment parameters. just like argv points to a null term'd array of all the command line options. kaleb@thyme.jpl.nasa.gov Jet Propeller Labs Kaleb Keithley

You can use Turbo Pascal's PARAMSTR(0) to get it easily. Mark Aitchison.
