I have been playing around with Gulam and MWC for quite some time, but
I cannot seem to get the right setting for env_style for use with MWC.

If I set the env_style to "gu", then I seem to be getting just the
command tail, and no argv[0] which I would get if I was getting MWC
style arguments.

If I set the env_style to "mw" or "bm", then all of the arguments show
up as one argument.  Looking at the environment, I do find an ARGV=
entry, but the value is just NULL.

One side effect of all this is that when I use the MWC cc, it thinks
that I'm compiling from the desktop, so I have to press return after
every cc command, a logical thing for it to do, but very annoying.

Can someone tell me how I should be setting env_style, or if there is
some patch that needs to be made to gulam itself?  It just seems as if
gulam is using an older style of ARGV.  I am using gulam version
1.00.00.02 (110287) and MWC version 2.0.  Is there a newer version of
gulam?


Thanks
