In this case:

Use the OS dependant routines as much as possible, so
Sysutils.getenvironmentvariable

In general:
 
- Unit Linux is totally deprecated, but available as oldlinux (but I advise
seriously against using it)
- Most similar calls are prefixed with "fp" and are in units unix and baseunix,
 however note that the errorhandling is now C compatible.
