In my previous article about how to get ARGV(0) in turbo pascal, I erroneously stated in a few places that there were three bytes between the end of the environment table (denoted by two nul characters) and the start of the argv(0) (path and name of the file being executed). There are actually only two bytes. A control-A and a null. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. The program still works, only the documentation is wrong.
