	Ok...now that it has been made fundamentally clear that I can't 
pull teeth from a hen...let me once again rephrase the 
question...

	What is the "internal representation" of argc, argv for Cygwin?

	For mingw32 it is as follows:

	(excerpt from stdlib.h)

/*
 * This seems like a convenient place to declare these variables, which
 * give programs using WinMain (or main for that matter) access to main-ish
 * argc and argv. environ is a pointer to a table of environment variables.
 * NOTE: Strings in _argv and environ are ANSI strings.
 */
extern int	_argc;
extern char**	_argv;


	What is used for Cygwin?  Cygwin does mean Cygnus for Win32, 
does it not?

	Thanks,

		Paul G.
