Subject: Can't find path for Icon
Priority: normal
X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail/Windows (v1.22)
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@cs.arizona.edu
I'm using Icon version 9 for MS-DOS running under Windows 95. I
wanted to make use of version 9's ability to make 'executable'
scripts, but I didn't want to have to add the Icon directory to my path
as was apparently required. Instead I placed into a directory that is
on the path a batch file, iconx.bat, which calls iconx.exe with its
full pathname. However the batch file is not called and I get the
error message
Couldn't execvp( "IconX", ... ): IconX.Exe isn't on your DOS Path.
Although the argument to execvp (whatever that is) doesn't explicitly
specify that the program it's trying to run has a .exe extension, is
this what in fact is happening? If so, is it possible to change it
so that no particular extension is assumed, thus allowing iconx.bat
to be found?
