Unless it is a regression in the last week, rebuilding current git now.
I have been using this in borland BC++4.5 and it works with ubuntu 7.04
and has for several other distro's in the last few years. It is a 16 bit
application.

stpcpy(comandstr,"kpnl320.exe ");
strcat(comandstr,_argv[0]); /* pass executable file name to application */
if (FindWindow(0,"Simulator EDD-320") == NULL)
WinExec(comandstr,SW_SHOWNA);
