The "environment" is a rather platform specific thing, IMHO. For instance, what does CVS_RSH mean to a machine that does not have CVS installed? Using the environment of a SunOS system to a Solaris system could also break a few things, here and there. No, in my opinion, passing the environment state oer the network is not in general a good thing. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
