From: c.christian.joensson@telia.com (=?iso-8859-1?Q?Christian_J=F6nsson?=) Subject: What about HOME and USER when starting Cygwin B20.1 6 Dec 1998 09:22:19 -0800 Message-ID: <006801be2119$1f2574c0$4e28c6c3.cygnus.gnu-win32@p4kpm> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit To: "GNU Win32" I was just wondering if one could use the Win98 Username (and perhaps locale) to pass onto the Cygwin B20 environment, mainly bash, I guess. I do the following when I start B20 export USER=chj # That's my Username in then Win98 registry, others exit on my machine. export HOME=/WINDOWS/Profiles/$USER cd That would be handy to have automatically. I guess that the problem of getting the Username out of the registry isn't that easy, is it? For the locale, I guess the problem is similar. Just some thoughts, I'm new to Win98, coming from Solaris, via linux towards Win32, perhaps... Any comments are welcome, TIA, /ChJ - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
