Quick C may or may not actually use that environment variable.

First of all, there are two sorts of includes:

1. #include "fred.h"

2. #include 

You can get different behaviour depending on which form you used.

Secondly, it is most common on MSDOS to have to name the directories you
want searched with a "-I" parameter on the command-line rather
than an environment variable.
