Hi, Bob.

BL>   When calling its EXEC() procedure. It requires the full name of the
BL> EXE file. It's the only one I know that does.

That would be because it uses the DOS int$21, AH=$4b call. Which can
be used to load (& relocate, etc) *anything* into memory. It's used for
example to load overlays, which could have any name.

Anything else you've used must have either appended the .EXE or done the
full path search like I've put in my wrapper function.
