Does anyone know how I can find out what directory a program was invoked
from?  I would perfer an ANSI-C method, but, failing that, a
DJGPP-specific method would be acceptable.  Specifically:

I am making a HTML editor that will look for configuration files and the
like in the same directory as the executable.  I don't want to force the
user to install in a particular directory, or make them add enviroment
variables to their autoexec.bat.

thanks,
