Re: env array and get/putenv

There is an awful lot of magic involved with environment variables.


Just a quick question: do you store the new value of the environment


variables in a static string? It is easy to forget that and then the


whole exercise is null and void.



It may very well be that Tcl gets a copy of the environment at start-up


and is ignorant of any changes made outside of its interpreter. Perhaps


the C API can solve this?


-- just checked: you should indeed use Tcl_PutEnv() instead of putenv.



Regards,



Arjen
