Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Windows paths inside iocShell

All true, but...

AppData is one of quite a few standard Windows variables. Obviously, introducing my own variables would work and make the whole thing non-portable.

The getenv() call works just fine, mixed paths work fine, I can read directly from the environment and have utilities that convert forward to backslashes etc etc.
The one and only real show stopper is that the iocShell's macro expansion changes the value of those standard environment variables when you use them.

Cheers,
~Ralph
