DESCRIPTION
       Tcl_PutEnv  sets  an environment variable. The information
       is passed in a single string of the form NAME=value.  This
       procedure is intended to be a stand-in for the UNIX putenv
       system  call.  All  tcl-based  applications  using  putenv
       should  redefine it to Tcl_PutEnv so that they will inter-
       face properly to the Tcl runtime.


KEYWORDS
