Hi Jari,

My take on this is that I would like to have a single executable (e.g.
E:\FORTRAN\BINP\PWB.EXE) and use it with different values for PATH,
INCLUDE and LIB. Thus, I could have a single copy of MS Programmer's
Work Bench with different behaviour running MS FORTRAN, MS COBOL or
IBM C/2 compilers.

Likewise with some other OS/2 programs, and a few DOS programs.

Thus, I would not want the environment information stored with the
executable, but with each _instance_ of the program object.

Regards

Dave
