ID Number: Q51768

5.10 6.00 6.00a 6.00ax 7.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

Under MS-DOS versions 3.0 and later, the first argument (arg0) is used

to hold the path and name of the program. The third parameter in a

spawn command is arg0. Regardless of what you specify arg0 to be,

MS-DOS passes the path and name of the program to the child function.

Under MS-DOS 2.x, arg0 is not defined.

Under OS/2, this is not the case; arg0 is passed as specified with the

spawn command.
