I'm writing a C program in which I would like to use some of the settings in the user's ENVIRONMENT (i.e. PRINTER, LOGNAME, etc...). Could someone tell me how to read these into a string? thanks, tom ----> tclark@hawk.ulowell.edu -------------------------------------------------------------- MEMO TO MYSELF: do the dumb things I gotta do. touch the puppet head.

The getenv() function returns the string value of an environ parameter, e.g.: char *getenv(), *p; if ((p = getenv("LOGNAME"))) printf("Your LOGNAME is %s\n", p); -- Dave Hammond ...!uunet!masa.com!{marob,dsix2}!daveh
