    * ''ACT_PATH'': this is a colon-separated search path for ACT files (akin to the standard Unix ''PATH'' variable used by the shell). This is typically set to the root of an ACT project, so that all the ACT files in the project can be accessed relative to the specified path.     * ''ACT_PATH'': this is a colon-separated search path for ACT files (akin to the standard Unix ''PATH'' variable used by the shell). This is typically set to the root of an ACT project, so that all the ACT files in the project can be accessed relative to the specified path. 
    * ''ACT_STD_CMDLINE'': An individual project might want to include a standard set of ACT options (e.g. -T//tech//) for all ACT tool invocations. The environment variable ''ACT_STD_CMDLINE'' can be set to the standard command-line options.    * ''ACT_STD_CMDLINE'': An individual project might want to include a standard set of ACT options (e.g. -T//tech//) for all ACT tool invocations. The environment variable ''ACT_STD_CMDLINE'' can be set to the standard command-line options.
 +   * ''ACT_TECH'': this environment variable is //set// by the core ACT library, and corresponds to the name of the technology specified by ''-T'' on the command-line (or the default technology, ''generic'', otherwise).
