Just curious, are you only running on systems using glibc? If so why
not use basename()?

Hi Everyone
It was my being an Ass uming person. My objective was that the program
name be that which was listed in the directory. Change the program name
and the error messages with the name change as well.
In the first lines of C code I had
char *progName= 1 + strrchr(argv[0],'/'); //Want one to the right of
the right most slash
This worked fine as I was always testing in the directory where I
created the program . (always need to prepend ./)
The corrected code will be clear to you at once about what I overlooked.
char *cp,*progName
progName=argv[0];
if (NULL != (cp=strrchr(argv[0],'/')))
progName = cp+1;
When the program is activated via the $PATH, there is no path
prepending the program name and hence, no path, just a progName;
Sorry to bother you with such a trivial boo boo.
