Hi,

I'm trying to execute a djgpp generated application from
another Win32 application (Compiled w/ Borland C++ builder)
it seems that even though I use 'spawnve(..)' and passing
my own environment array, the djgpp application sees the
original Windows environment.

Also, if I am trying to modify the calling process 
environment using putenv(), and then call the djgpp
app using 'spawnp(...)', the djgpp app still sees the 
unmodified parent process environment.

Any comments as to why this happens / is there a way to
overcome this ?

thanks,

amit
