If this above is true, then could you explain me what I'm doing wrong here:
file VeryLongName.c :
-----------
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        printf("%s\n", argv[0]);
        return 0;
}
----------
file test.c:
----------
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)
{
   system("VeryLongName.exe");
   return 0;
}
----------

When I call test, I see:
c:/djgpp/programs/djgpp/verylong.exe
and not
c:/djgpp/programs/djgpp/VeryLongName.exe

What I'm doing wrong here?
