I have a password program in Lightspeed (THINK) C that used to work fine for
launching the Finder.  The application was set as the startup, then went to
Finder (or other application) when done.  It always had some funny behavior
regarding background patterns when run under MultiFinder.  Anyway, now with
the recent 3.01p4 upgrade of THINK C, the darn thing won't launch at all.
Here's the launch routine:

go_launch(filename)
Str255	filename;
{
	_exiting(1);
	Launch(0, filename);
/*	Str255	launchfile;
	struct	{
		StringPtr	addr;
		long		bufs;
		} lnchpb, *lnchpb_ptr;
	
	lnchpb.addr = (StringPtr) filename;
	lnchpb.bufs = 0L;
	lnchpb_ptr = &lnchpb;

	asm	{
		move.L	A0,lnchpb_ptr
		_Launch
	} */
}

The commented-out code is what used to work fine.  It now gives an illegal
instruction error when run stand-alone (although does okay when run from
THINK C with debugger on).  I tried using the _exiting() & Launch procedures
with identical illegal instruction error results. Can anyone suggest how I
ought to do this in the new 3.01p4 LSC environment?
