hi all,

I'm currently writing a program and have the following questions:

(1) How can I read the operating system environment settings? I mean those
setting in autoexec.bat,
such as temp=c:\tmp, path=c:\;c:\windows, or last drive=z ... etc.

(2) I want to make my program passwrod protected, no need login name, just a
password is enough. But I have no idea where and how to start, would you pls
give me some guide lines or suggested readings?

Thank you very much for your attention, best regards,

jimi
