Cohen's "Ada as a Second Language, 2ed". In the past, the students used UNIX workstations, and I assigned them the GETENV problem from them book. You know, call the UNIX getenv function with an environment variable, and get the mapped results back. We used all the C interface libraries, and it work just like in the book! But, now we've replaced all the UNIX workstations with PCs, and I need a similar problem to give the students. Does anyone have a nice, simple, Ada 95 "call" to an existing PC library function (even a DLL?) that I can substitute for the GETENV problem? Let me know both here, as well as my work email: John_J_Cupak@raytheon.com Thanks, John
