Right. (I forgot about Win 2000.)

The paragraph below should probably read:

Windows

 To set a csound environment on Windows XP and 2000 go to
Control Panel->System->Advanced and click on the button
'Environment Variables'. On other Windows OS's earlier than XP you set
environment variables in the autoexec.bat file.

Actually, after spending some time configuring Csound5 to run properly 
in WINE under Linux, (then testing on a spare DX486 running Windows 95) 
I have found a potentially better solution for Windows OSes <= 2000 on 
the FAT32 filesystem.

Consider that editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file requires that the user 
either run the batch file or restart the computer. For computers who 
have standalone MS-DOS, editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file is probably the 
best solution for adding environment variables.

However, sometimes within Windows, the DOS shell does not correctly see 
the environment variables added by AUTOEXEC.BAT for whatever reason -

The solution for WINE and >= Windows 95 (with DOS removed on 
installation) would be to run the

C:\WINDOWS> regedit.exe

command and set them explicitly in the Windows registry. Go to 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER and expand it, add if it isn't there a folder called 
"Environment" so the path would be

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Environment

Then within the Environment key you can create or modify system values 
by adding strings whose value parameters are the corresponding 
directory on the hard drive.

I do like the idea of a single file that one would edit and which  
would contain all the user settings and paths (maybe even a pointer  
to the language of the error messages.)

This would be very easy to teach, show, explain.

And then, generally, the only changes you would make from the gui or  
commandline would be whether you wanted realtime rendering, file  
rendering, or simultaneous

(such as is currently the case with MacCsound)

An app that tweaks csound relevant environment variables would be nice,
but why not include this on the front ends?

Cheers,

Winsound does set/maintain environment variables.  Possible not as many
as is now needed but the changes are simple.
