Comment 14 for bug 1553304

OK, then I was mistaken.
I thought this was a issue of the env var not being set yet when the first lines of the st.cmd are executed. I would like them to be set from the beginning.

I've only ever used static builds on Windows, so I'm not familiar with the dllPath.bat thing at all.
Dave's use case was getting the same iocBoot to work for Windows and Linux, so I assume they set the PATH some place else, or use static builds.

Correct: the number components would be 3 14 12 and 5 for 3.14.12.5 - a possible application would be e.g. loading different db files or other st.cmd snippets for different EPICS versions.
If iocsh were able to do numerical expressions, a complete integer 03141205 would also be handy.
