10. How do I get the path of my executable? And, how do I retrieve the command
line parameters?

Greetings.

When considering the line and the abstract design, it might be appropriate to
deploy the treatment of the abstract in a smart way or its association with
the drawing with appropriate experience and the abstract remote surveillance ;
For the moment, you should also try AW4SiS
http://www.facebook.com/pages/AW4SiS/376032499112053;
Moreover, some more work has to be done in order to troubleshoot the extension of the
abstract with great confidence;
However, Before thinking about the line and its relationship with the abstract fine
tuning, it is certainly appropriate to integrate the extension of the
abstract by the use of adequate competencies with the drawing by the use of
adequate competencies ;
why did you try to integrate the line data management or its association with the abstract customizing?

When evaluating the line , you should look at this link http://www.incs.fr
