| 11 SUMMARY: | |
| 12 | |
| 13 Pseudo-environment variables file for the CoCo. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 DESCRIPTION: | |
| 16 | |
| 17 | |
| 18 Since OS-9 Level 2 on the CoCo does not yet have true environment | |
| 19 variables, UUCPbb attempts to emulates them. The file 'profile' | |
| 20 contains the system and user's environment variables. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 The file /DD/SYS/profile contains the system default values. | |
| 23 Each user can also set some of the environment variables by | |
| 24 creating a file 'profile' in their root home (login) directory. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 If the user's profile exists, it will override the system | |
| 27 profile. If it doesn't the system defaults are used. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 The file consists of one declaration per line with the format: | |
| 30 | |
| 31 variable=value | |
| 32 | |
| 33 There can be no space between on either '='. At present, the UUCP | |
| 34 package only supports the variables: TERM, HOME, MAIL, SHELL, and | |
| 35 EDITOR. For example: | |
| 36 | |
| 37 TERM=coco3 | |
| 38 HOME=/dd/usr | |
| 39 MAIL=/h1/spool/mail | |
| 40 EDITOR=ved | |
| 41 SHELL=shell+ | |
| 42 | |
| 43 In the case of SHELL, the value 'shell+' is suggested when | |
| 44 referring to Shell+ v2.1 or later; while 'shell' refers to the | |
| 45 original Microware Shell. Programs will have to internally figure | |
| 46 how to make use of the shell environment if the system uses both | |
| 47 Shell+ and the MW Shell or another shell. | |
| 48 | |
| 49 The user is allowed only to change the variables TERM, EDITOR and | |
| 50 SHELL in their profile. The variables HOME and MAIL are reserved | |
| 51 only for /DD/SYS/profile. If they appear in the user's profile, | |
| 52 they are ignored. If HOME is not defined in the system profile, | |
| 53 getenv() will use the password to try and determine the HOME | |
| 54 environment of the user. | |
