 Syntax

     FT_ORIGIN() -> cString

 Arguments

    None

 Returns

    A string containing the full drive/directory/filename of
    the currently executing file.

 Description

    Often users will install multiple copies of application software,
    especially on networks and in situations where the user is trying
    to get around a copy protection scheme.

    This function enables you to learn the name and source location
    of the currently executing file, so that you may take whatever
    action you need to.

    Requires DOS v3.xx and above.

 Examples

    cMyFile := FT_ORIGIN()

    IF cMyFile <> "C:\APPDIR\MYFILE.EXE"
       ?"Incorrect startup file.  Please remove/rename and start again"
       QUIT
    ENDIF
