Hallo Atte,

have a look at this:

TK_PRINT_STATUS=echo %n is valid; export TK_PRINT_STATUS

This can't work in any unix I know of. Try this:

TK_PRINT_STATUS="echo %n is valid"; export TK_PRINT_STATUS TK6_PRINT_STATUS="echo %n is valid"; export TK6_PRINT_STATUS

If I may believe Metalink, TK6_PRINT_STATUS is not used.
