I agree. Perhaps old habits are hard to forget...

Me too. It may be embarrassing if later somebody ask if osex is safe...
Indeed, they could go on os, or perhaps in fs as Rici points out.


I wonder, for putenv/setenv. In Linux, does this change the global 
environment, or just the environment of the current process?
In WinNT, it is possible to do either. In Win9x, it is near impossible 
to change global environment, unless changing AUTOEXEC.BAT and 
rebooting, or using some low level trick (I know a MS exe is able to do 
this).
