Shouldn't that use GetShortPathName to make sure the program can find
itself on disk? :p

[Alexander Andrejevic]

This is the MCB name, so it's not important except maybe for diagnostic tools.
On the other hand, for the sake of correctness, the name has to fit in 8 characters,
so if the program is called "longername.com" the MCB name should be "LONGER~1".

Alex

I need to recheck, but the name given to the function that builds this MCB
name should be already the short path form.

And what about simply doing some
PspName = strrchr(ProgramName, '\'); or whatever?
It looks really weird to start looking at the begin of a path to get its
last element delimitation...

And for the record, otherwise, you have splitpath :-)

Hi Pierre, I would have done the strrchr trick if I had only 1 type of
separator (example, the backslash). I started looking for a "find last
occurrence of a char from a string, within a string" function (kind of
strpbrk, but for the last occurrence), that I haven't found, hence this
solution I used. I will look at splitpath, which seems to correspond to what
I want (and which may be used in other places in ntvdm either).
