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.
