DESCRIPTION
       Tcl_PutEnv sets an environment variable. The information is passed in a single  string  of  the  form
       NAME=value.   This  procedure  is intended to be a stand-in for the UNIX putenv system call. All tcl-based tclbased
       based applications using putenv should redefine it to Tcl_PutEnv so that they will interface properly
       to the Tcl runtime.
