Re: [ROOT] incorrect .rootrc in distributions

This should cause no problem under Windows since neither UNIX nor Windows
uses the form $(var_name). The most UNIX shells do use $var_name, i.e. they
do not
use brackets either.
  The interpretation of the brackets is provided by ROOT along. Under
Windows
%var_name% can be used too in addition but it is not recommended.

 Did you see any real problem ?

   With my regards,
                   Valery
