SUMMARY
PATH is a sample application for the Windows environment that demonstrates how to parse MS-DOS environment variables. PATH will accept any environment variable and the name of a file. A search path is a null-terminated string that consists of a sequence of directory specifications separated by semicolons. PATH searches for the named file by searching each directory (one directory at a time) in the order in which the directories are listed in the environment variable.
