Subject:	Re: argv[0] problem(unwanted path in printout)

I believe it IS possible to have an argv[0] with no '/' or '\' in it.
Consider a path like c:hello.

Also, I think UNIX C runtime libraries DON'T put the full path name in
argv[0].  Argv[0] contains whatever the program that called exec()
puts in it.  On UNIX, ksh seems to put whatever the user typed, not
the fully qualified path.  I don't know about other shells.
