Re: Password & Porting on NT

[John Kellogg <johnk@SQRIBE.COM>]

Swapnil,

1) We have an enhancement request already open for a $password reserved
variable (# 558). So far, the request has not been implemented. It may
be considered for V5. There are obvious security considerations in
implementing this variable.

2) Your choices are to convert the call system command from a UNIX
command to a DOS or Windows equivalent if available, or, to run a UNIX
shell package on the NT such as MKS.
