I have not bigger piece of time for playing with until yesterday. And I must say You program work well, is quite tiny and when I have seen how it is simple, I was ashamed for being so powerless for writing similar code. I was trying slightly modify You code (nothing much, only write result to not fixed name file, but to filename basename(argv[0]) and open it for append and write there timestamp when program run). Because I have not had any C compiler before, I was downloading and using OpenWatcom C compiler v1.9 (http://www.openwatcom.org/) for DOS. And there I knock to problem - it seems as this compiler not support construction: int main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[]) in the concrete, pointer to environment vector perhaps isn't possible or valid. Program compiles and links fine, run without problems, printed args are OK, but instead of environment variables it output only several weird characters. Thus, when I can still ask, know You or someone in DOSEMU or FreeDOS forum: - when is possible walk through environment values in Watcom C? I think it may be possible with some undocumented functions, with some included assembler code etc. Or there may be problem e.g. in incorrect variable alignment in memory...? ;) - or when there is other free DOS C compiler which would be possible use?
