No. Those were quick and dirty methods that should generally work for most UNIXs most of the time. But there are plenty of ways for them to go wrong.
The ps command, for instance, won't be very helpful if the admin has added $DLC/bin to the PATH and then calls progress executables without an explicit path (something that I do to keep ps output short and readable). The echo $DLC won't be completely reliable unless you shell out from within a user session (it's possible that a user startup script overrides whatever is at the shell level when you start a session).
For a more portable solution you might try parsing the propath variable from within a 4gl session. Or you could use OS-GETENV( "DLC" ) for the 4gl session.
