PF> 1) The "USAGE: ", should say BG,  not FG.
PF> 2) You didn't quote the message as I posted it,  it is missing:

PF>     DosSetPrty(PRTYS_PROCESSTREE, PRTYC_IDLETIME, 31, 0);

And indeed it arrived here with it, but there is still an obvious
problem! Surely the "if (argc==1)" condition should exit with an error
as there is no program name supplied, not drop through to the
exit(spawn()) line.
