Archive-name: setenv

setenv() is better than putenv() in 3 ways:

    1) the call is setenv(var, value), which is both easier and more
       natural than putenv(string)
       compare
        setenv("HOME", home);
       with
        strcpy(buf, "HOME=");
        strcat(buf, home);
        putenv(buf);

    2) it isn't an error to invoke setenv() with a local (automatic)
       variable, because setenv() uses a malloc() + copy scheme (it needn't
       be blistering fast, you know)

    3) it keeps the environment sorted, both for its own purposes and as a
       service to the user

Regards & thanks for your attention,
