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 interface  prop-
     erly to the Tcl runtime.
