[comp.sys.ibm.pc] ENV.COM and the management of MSDOS environments

bsrdp@warwick.ac.uk (Mr H Boothroyd) (06/24/88)

I recently circulated ENV.COM with the syntax  env [pad|unpad] .

Of course you shouldn't use it
if you or any programme in your system produces environment variables
with names `ENV01' ... `ENV99' .

However, I discovered today that you shouldn't use it
if you or any programme in your system produces environment variables
with names  ***ending*** in `ENV01' ... `ENV99' .

I haven't time to refine the string search immediately,
so I can't include a revision.

The risk is probably slight, but I think you should know.
