Message-ID: <23496@bu-cs.BU.EDU> Date: 25 Jun 88 16:51:41 GMT Reply-To: madd@bu-it.bu.edu Organization: Boston University Distributed Systems Group Lines: 7 Does anyone know how the exec function knows how large of an environment to allocate for a child process? I need to give a child a larger environment than its parent (without the use of command.com). Any clues would be greatly appreciated. jim frost madd@bu-it.bu.edu
