Hmm. Maybe we can steal liberty. Sounds like exactly what we need.

This won't work. stpcpy returns a pointer to the end of the string.
strcpy returns a pointer to the front. You need a compatibility
function like this:
char *
stpcpy(char *dest, const char *src) {
strcpy(dest, src);
return(dest + strlen(src));
}
A bit slower than a real stpcpy, bit it should work.

OK. I have the manpage for putenv. We should probably just switch
wholesale to that. According to my manpages, setenv is only BSD 4.3,
but putenv is SVID 3, POSIX, and BSD 4.3.

Can't find sort? You mean the program? That's very odd. Also, I'm
wondering what pp is?

Glad you're making progress.
