Keywords: argc,argv Message-ID: <1374@megamax.UUCP> Date: 13 May 88 14:50:05 GMT References: Reply-To: michel@megamax.UUCP (Michel Rynderman) Organization: Megamax, Inc; Dallas, TX Lines: 15 argc was set to be 1 always because of compatibility with UNIX(TM). A lot of programs count on the name of the program to be in argv[0]. The ST does not pass the name of the program so argv[0] is set to a string with nothing in it.(""). Hope this helps. Michel@megamax -- Anyone who would like a reply to their mail sent to me needs to give a uucp path. The mailer on our system is weird. Either that or give me a tel. number and I'll give you a call.
