+*int _spawnv(modeflag, pathname, argv) - spawn a child process
+*
+*Purpose:
+* Spawns a child process.
+* formats the parameters and calls _spawnve to do the actual work. The
+* NULL environment pointer indicates that the new process will inherit
+* the parents process's environment. NOTE - at least one argument must
+* be present. This argument is always, by convention, the name of the
+* file being spawned.
+*
+*Entry:
+* int modeflag - mode to spawn (WAIT, NOWAIT, or OVERLAY)
+* only WAIT and OVERLAY currently implemented
+* char *pathname - file to spawn
+* char **argv - vector of arguments
+*
+*Exit:
+* returns exit code of child process
+* if fails, returns -1
+*
+*Exceptions:
