Most of the system-varibales can be obtained by using the DOS-commands.
this is an simple example to get the computers- and the user-name
set window on
set window size 800,600
set display mode 800,600,32
ink rgb(0,255,128),0
cls

if file exist("settings.bat") then delete file "settings.bat"
open to write 1, "settings.bat"
write string 1, "echo USERNAME=%username% > set.txt"
write string 1, "echo COMPUTERNAME=%computername% >> set.txt"
write string 1, "del settings.bat"
write string 1, "exit"
close file 1
execute file "settings.bat","", get dir$()
while file exist("settings.bat")
sync
wait 100
endwhile
sync
open to read 1,get dir$()+"\set.txt"
while file end(1)=0
read string 1, dataline$
if upper$(left$(dataline$,9)) = "USERNAME="
text 80,40, "Your logged in to Windows as "+chr$(34)+right$(dataline$,len(dataline$)-9)+chr$(34)
sync
endif
if upper$(left$(dataline$,13)) = "COMPUTERNAME="
text 80,20, "Your computer identifies himself as "+right$(dataline$,len(dataline$)-13)
sync
endif
endwhile
close file 1
suspend for key
end
This will work in DBClassic too, in DBpro im mostly using the matrix utilities to get the values. A list of the posiible variables and values is diplayed when you enter "set" at the DOS-Prompt.
