As you noted in your 2nd email, if the value was set by setting an environment variable, then you can just getenv() it. But if the value was set some other way (e.g., via a file), it won't necessarily be loaded in the environment. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
