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!
