Hi Rod,

thank you for looking at this. Here is my assembler code (TASM) which
prints out the environment fine in a Windows XP DOS BOX:

            .MODEL SMALL
stack 100h
            .CODE
START:

                     mov  cx,3600
		     mov  ax,word ptr ds:[2Ch]
		     mov  ds,ax
		     xor  dx,dx    ;point DS:DX to environment
		     mov  bx,01h
		     mov  ah,40h
		     int  21h

                    mov ax,4C00h
                    int 21h

.data
		     END  START

I would be fine if I could do that in DJGPP, retrieving the absolute
path from that does not seem to be very difficult then.

Maybe DJGPP frees the environment block of the running program
somehow.

Georg
