Default User Name via 1. API, 2. Enviornment, 3. WScript.Network

I have heard a couple of different ideas on environ vs API. One is that
Environ was not uspported by Windows 98 / ME. The other is that the API
returns the network login, while environ returns the windows login (which
although not normally differnent can be). I am not too sure if or what is
true. I always just use environ.

Bob - thanks for responding.

On my system, the API & WScript return the same answer.
The Environ returns nothing.
I checked "Set" in Dos and sure enough, there is not a UserName variable.

Thx
