#1 using functions provided by CLOCC

[Anonymous]

Regarding the question Accessing Enviroment Variables
in Interfacing with your OS:

gut reaction: i found the answer scary.

hopefully costructive criticizem(sp?): CLOCC provides
getenv, which will work on more implementations than
the answer offered in the cookbook. I really believe
that it is important to point out already existing
solutions when they exist. CLOCC's getenv is setfable,
which, IMO, is more "lispy" than calling getenv with
one argument to get and two to set.

since CLOCC provides so many answers, maybe someone (i
will try when i have time) will just sit down and make
up the questions? if nothing else it will add a little
bulk to the cookbook in those areas where lisp seems ot
be laking (os interface/net "stuff")

p.s. - thank you for the cookbook.
