Problem with Environment Variables on Win2000

[Jason <ja...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

I've written an ant script on Linux and I'm now in the
process of trying to run it on windows and I've hit a
snag.  My general strategy is to launch ant on linux
from a shell script in which I set several environment
variables like so:

export MY_VAR=foo

I than access these values through ant using the
<property environment="env"/> mechanism.  On linux
things work fine but when I port my shell script to a
bat file there are problems.  I am unable to access
the value of (for example) MY_VAR even though I've set
it in the bat file like so:  SET MY_VAR=foo.  I've
noticed that I am able to access 'standard'
environment variables (eg, Path) but the ones I set
explicity in the bat file which launches ant aren't
recongised.  Should this work?  Is there some work
around?  If anyone could set me straight, I'd
appreciate it.
