I am (of course) happy you all fixed this, but it smells like a problem the next "upgrade" of the OS (any of Windoze, *nix, etc) will break. It's like 50 different versions of win32lib which are variously in/compatable in ways unknown to the average user who just wants a window to open or a process to run. As it's clear the maintainers of the OS aren't going to notify Pete, Derek, Matt, Greg, etc about the next rescrambling of the OS's variable handlers, praps a way of testing the situation in Phix/OE at compile time, and then applying the appropriate code, beats hard-coding the fix for the problem as it stands today.

I am not diss'ing this fix, i am only looking at the worst-case scene that might pop up in six months. This snuck up on you this time, it may sneak up again. Or i may be clueless.
