but as someone pointed out... with a direct exec it can be otherwise... I just wrote a couple programs that proved this... here's the output: number args: 3

argv[0} len(0):
argv[1} len(6): parama
argv[2} len(6): paramb

basicly the program I ran did:
char *strings[] = { "", "parama", "paramb", 0}; execv("dump", strings);

and dump was a program that did basicly: for(i=0;i<argc;i++)

    printf("argv[%d} len(%d): %s\n", i, strlen(argv[i]), argv[i]);

so it is possible...

and thanks for making me do the research... always helpful to learn by experience this sort of thing... :) ttyl...
