Subject: semicolon colon separated env vars to unix and viceversa
Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2001 10:13:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <15338.52203.461000.127354@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <OF77D5934B.B98E7E47-ONC1256AFE.005D98E0@uk.marconicomms.com>
The question is why you would want to do this in the first place. I'm
not aware of a Cygwin JRE, and if you use Sun's native Win32 JRE,
it will not understand the Unix format afaik.
regards,
Markus
