Hello,

I need to retrieve the currently executing program's fully qualified
filename from within an application. Normally, this would be a piece of
cake, but here are the catches:

The argv[0] parameter passed to main() doesn't work with all compilers, and
this code needs to work with all compilers. I.e., IBM's compiler, I
believe, only passes what was typed at the command line.

So, I'm using DosQueryModuleName().

The call to DosQueryModuleName() is in a DLL. This is where I'm stuck.
I have 2 choices here: one, to use the extern ULONG _os2hmod variable
as the "ModHandle" parameter to that call which works great when the
call to DosQueryModuleName() comes from inside an .EXE file. From
inside the DLL, it returns a 0-length string. I can get the module
handle of the DLL and pass it to DosQueryModuleName(), but that returns
the fully qualified pathname of the DLL, not the EXE file.

Has anyone ever done this? If so, how!?

Thanks,
Kelly
