Aloysius, I noticed in a thread posted earlier that you were thinking about switching up to Mac OS X. I would definatly recommend that you try that before you switch over to linux or another unix flavor. It's a great way to get your feet wet. Also I thought you should know that Mac OS X isn't really as much like linux as it is FreeBSD (a unix derived from the berkely systems distrobution). But it's still very much Mac-like in it's interface, alot less scary for a first time unix experience, and a great way to learn some unix from the command-line interface.

Instead of the slow and not readable tooltips with the preview of the thread content in forum view, I have added the preview with mouseover (see attached movie).
Let me know if you want a different kind of preview (animation, duration font-color, size, etc,)
Thanks.

curl_getenv
curl_getenv(3) libcurl Manual curl_getenv(3)
NAME
curl_getenv - return value for environment name
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
char *curl_getenv(const char *name);
DESCRIPTION
curl_getenv() is a portable wrapper for the getenv() function, meant to emulate its behaviour and provide an identical interface for all
operating systems libcurl builds on (including win32).
AVAILABILITY
This function will be removed from the public libcurl API in a near future. It will instead be made "available" by source code access only,
and then as curlx_getenv().
RETURN VALUE
If successful, curl_getenv() returns a pointer to the value of the specified environment. The memory it refers to is malloc()ed so the
application must free() this when the data is no longer needed. When curl_getenv(3) fails to find the specified name, it returns a null
pointer.
NOTE
Under unix operating systems, there isn't any point in returning an allocated memory, although other systems won't work properly if this
isn't done. The unix implementation thus has to suffer slightly from the drawbacks of other systems.
