        [b]IMPORTANT:[]  VALUE and the other programs in the LANDMARK 
          UTILITIES package are neither public domain nor shareware 
          programs.  Rather, they are commercial programs.  The cost of 
          the LANDMARK UTILITIES package is $29.95.  Companies wishing 
          to bundle any or all of these program should contact Landmark 
          Software for bundling prices.  Dealers should ask about our 
          DealerPak.  Corporate users should contact us about multiple 
          copy agreements and site licenses.


                               [b]What Does VALUE Do?[]

               VALUE displays the value of a specified environment 
          variable.  If '*' and/or '?' wildcards are included in the 
          specfied name, then VALUE will display all the environment 
          variables (and their values) whose names match the 
          specification and will also show the total number of 
          environment variables and the total amount of environment 
          space being used.


                          [b]Why Would I Want To Use VALUE?[]

               VALUE supplies the features that are missing from the 
          DOS internal command SET.  SET can define an environment 
          variable and can list all the environment variables and their 
          values.  But SET provides no way to display the value of a 
          particular environment variable or to display all the 
          environment variables matching a wildcard specification.  You 
          may like to think of VALUE as a directory command for 
          environment variables.


                             [b]How Do I Execute VALUE?[]

               The command [b]VALUE ?[] will summarize the syntax.  For 
          example, try '[b]VALUE COMSPEC[]' and '[b]VALUE C?M*[]'.

               When VALUE is used with a name that does not contain 
          wildcards, the value of the specified environment variable is 
          displayed both with and without single quotes around the 
          value.  This makes is clear whether or not leading and/or 
          trailing blanks are part of the value.

               When wildcards are used, VALUE always displays a count 
          of the number of matches.  So a '0 matches' message means 
          that there are no environment variables matching the spec.
