And remember that the names of the environment variables are all
uppercase, the conversion is performed by cmd.exe. Thus if you type

set var=value

it will set environment variable VAR. you can type on the command line

echo %var%
echo %VAR%
echo %vAr%

and all these command will display value. However, if you try to getn
the value of the environment variable from your program, you must use
the name in uppercase, eg. in C you must use getenv("VAR").
