Subject:	environment and system calls

I want to communicate with a subprocess that I spawn using the system 
command.  I tried to do this by setting some environment variables
using setenv().  As far as the parent program is concerned, the 
environment variables are set; however, the child doesn't seem to
inherit the modified environment.  This probably is because the
pararent is working on a protected mode copy of the environment table

Any obvious fix?

Thanks in advance.
