# THIS SCRIPT IS A UTILITY TO SET ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES PERMANENTLY USING
# THE WINDOWS REGISTRY.
# USES 'REGTOOL' TO MODIFY THE WINDOWS REGISTRY.
# 'REGTOOL' IS PART OF THE CYGWIN DISTRIBUTION PROVIDED BY RED HAT
#
# THERE'S ONE SLIGHT PROBLEM IN THAT AFTER YOU CHANGE THE REGISTRY
# WITH 'REGTOOL' EXPLORER DOESN'T REALIZE THAT IT HAS BEEN CHANGED,
# SO PROCESSES CREATED AFTER
# TO NOTIFY EXPLORER (AND OTHER APPS) THAT THE ENVIRONMENT HAS CHANGED
# WE CALL A LITTLE 1-LINE Win32 UTIL PROGRAM '_UPDATEREGENV'

# SEE ALSO 'PRINTREGENV', 'SETREGENV'
