*Purpose:
*	defines _execlp() - execute a file and search along PATH
*
*Revision History:
*	10-17-83  RN	written
*	12-11-87  JCR	Added "_LOAD_DS" to declaration
*	11-20-89  GJF	Fixed copyright, indents. Added const attribute to
*			types of filename and arglist. #include-d PROCESS.H
*			and added ellipsis to match prototype.
*	03-08-90  GJF	Replaced _LOAD_DS with _CALLTYPE2, added #include
*			<cruntime.h> and removed #include <register.h>.
*	07-24-90  SBM	Removed redundant includes, replaced <assertm.h> by
*			<assert.h>

/***
*int _execlp(filename, arglist) - execute a file, search along PATH
*
*Purpose:
*	Execute the given file with the given arguments; search along PATH
*	for the file. We pass the arguments to execvp where several paths
*	will be tried until one works.
*
*Entry:
*	char *filename - file to execute
*	char *arglist  - argument list
*	call as _execlp(path, arg0, arg1, ..., argn, NULL);
*
*Exit:
*	destroys calling process (hopefully)
*	returns -1 if fails.
*
*Exceptions:
