I am looking for the absolute path to the running progam. Ralph Brown
mentions this in table 01379 and I thought argv[0] may be a way in
djgpp to retrieve that.

Here is a link to that table 01379:
http://www.ctyme.com/intr/rb-2682.htm

I tried to use _go32_info_block.linear_address_of_original_psp to get
the PSP and then read the environment block segment from 0x2C in there
but did not succeed in reading the envrionment and following that the
absolute path that way.
