[THIN] Re: Odd question

a long time ago I was handling DOS applications with WinFrame this way.

We had a shortcut that was the published application, that would
launch a batch script on the WinFrame server, that would set a number
of environment variables, that then launched the application.

the environment variables we set according to the computername of the client.

Each users applicaton instance would then hold a unique set of
variables which the application would think were computer level
variables, not user variables (which it didn't know how to deal with).

So that is the answer to your question.

However, Rick's solution is far more elegant.
