Did you print this list from a DJGPP program, or from the NT shell?
We need the former, not the latter: NT transforms some of the environment
variables it passes to DOS programs, to prevent their gratuitous
incompatibility in standard environment variables (Path vs PATH etc.)
from breaking existing DOS applications.
While the transformations I know about involve letter-case only, and so
should not affect USERNAME, it's always a possibility that W2k introduces
yet another surprise ;-)
