_spawnlp

[Mark]

has anyone experienced a problem with
_spawnlp not consulting the PATH environment variable
when executing processes.

I have a situtation where just this seems to happen.
I have to be explicit when specifying the location of the
executable I am wanting to execute.

Yes, I've checked that my PATH variable is set up
correctly.

This is under Windows2000.

Thoughts appreciated.

No. Because it's not part of ISO C.

Since this is not a standard C issue, but an implementation issue,
it's off topic here. You should ask in a forum which deals with
Win2000.
