Infering who the user is? [message #16443]

Greetings idl ones,

I'm a WinNT weenie, but would like to
find out how to identify a user when
the user starts an IDL procedure, on both
NT and UNIX OS.

Is this possible under unix?
Can I do something like cd ~ and
grab the folder name, or spawn and
call whoami? Actually, nevermind,
I'll spawn and call whoami.

Is there a more general solution?

Is user ID possible under WinNT?
As a general solution, is there an
IDL system variable that holds this info?

(searching for "user" or "who" or "system"
is about as useful as searching for
the letter "e")

thanks,
bob
