Setting SP_PATH under Windows

The use of the SP_PATH variable under Windows is discouraged, since Windows applications can find out for themselves where they were started from.

SP_PATH is only used if the directory where sprt<ver>.dll is loaded from does not contain sp<ver> (a directory), sprt.sav, or spre.sav (where <ver> is "310" for SICStus version 3.10(.x)). If SP_PATH is used, SICStus expects it to be set such that %SP_PATH%\bin contains sprt.sav or spre.sav. See Runtime Systems on Target Machines.
