(2) why would mtxrun set the variables and risk overwriting something?
The comments suggest it is for the benefit of the cnf files, but still
--- why overwrite?
ossetenv("HOME", homedir) -- can be used in unix cnf files
ossetenv("USERPROFILE",homedir) -- can be used in windows cnf files
Wouldn't be better to set the "HOME" variable ONLY in the case it has not been
defined?
If I keep the code mentioned by Sietse - "Below: relevant code from mtxrun, lines
11681-11696"
----
local homedir = --osgetenv(ostype == "windows" and 'USERPROFILE' or 'HOME')
or ''
osgetenv("HOME") or ostype == "windows" and
osgetenv('USERPROFILE') -- <- MY PROPOSAL HERE
if not homedir or homedir == "" then
homedir = char(127) -- we need a value, later we wil trigger on it
end
homedir = file.collapsepath(homedir)
ossetenv("HOME", homedir) -- can be used in unix cnf files
ossetenv("USERPROFILE",homedir) -- can be used in windows cnf files
environment.homedir = homedir

it just sets them local (for this run + subruns)
