That depends on what you do with it, like under C, where you can also let it point to e.g. constants using & > My attemtps all failed up to know ... Have a look at the unixutil unit (most notably stringtoppchar) and the unix unit implementation (exec procedures that use environment mostly) Note that the unixutil unit was meant only as a temporary helper for unix, and not really meant to be used by endusers. The "leftovers" of the linux->unix unit transform are stored there. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
