Depends on what you consider UNIX. I understand that ParamStr[0] may get
into the way, when a process has no chance to find out where it resides
on disk.
No unix tool does this. Not even when it is freshly (re)built from
sources. And neither should Lazarus.
I claimed no more, no less.
I never said that Lazarus should *break* that convention.
I only want a chance for removing the *need* for the explicit
specification of an pcp, on every Lazarus invocation. It won't break
anything and requires only a few lines in source code, when the IDE
searches for a config in the EXE directory, before starting the standard
search.
