Note: You cannot find the location of the UV account by opening and
reading the /.uvhome file because this file does not exist on Windows NT
(the location of the UV account is saved in the Windows NT Registry).

I tried the System(32) call and it worked for me.

[U2] $UVHOME & /.uvhome

[Stevenson, Charles]

> Where is this $UVHOME file?  I can't find it in my UV directory.

In the root directory there is a hidden file called ".uvhome" that is a
simple text file pointing to where universe is installed.  Mine says:

   $cat /.uvhome
   /dbms/uv
   $

UVHOME is a variable that many people typically set up in their
.profiles:

  UVHOME=`cat /.uvhome`
  export UVHOME

So if I say echo $UVHOME I get this:
   $echo $UVHOME
   /dbms/uv
   $

Usually it is included in PATH, too:
PATH=$PATH:$UVHOME/bin:/software/bin
export PATH
