Subject:	What about HOME and USER when starting Cygwin B20.1

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,
