I have DJGPP installed correctly and everything, but a lot of my
programs will only work in Win95, and not in pure DOS. These programs
all make use of command line parameters, and that is where the problem
is manifesting. I managed to narrow it down to the following:

   int main (int argc, char *argv[])
   {
    if (!strcmp(argv[1], "-h")) return 1;
    else return 0;
   }

That should test to see if argv[1] is "-h" and if it is, return 1, and
if not, return 0. This works fine in Win95, but in DOS I get a error
screen about SIGSENT (actually, I'm not too sure about what it says, as
I can't reproduce it in Win95 right now). Any code before that executes
fine, but it stops there. Any help will be much appreciated.
