Subject: | Re: command argument 0 (go32) |
When "go32 x" is used to run a program, go32 does not use the path at all. Thus, whenever you see no path information, it is as if you are typing "./" in front of everything. The behavior is consistent with many Unix shells, and programs that rely on the presense of a "/" are begging for portability problems. On some Unix shells, no path information is passed even if the program was found via the path!
