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 ;-)
