+* Copyright (c) 1985-1991, Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
+*
+*Purpose:
+* defines _spawnvp() - spawn a child process; search along PATH
+*
+*Revision History:
+* 04-15-84 DFW written
+* 10-29-85 TC added spawnvpe capability
+* 12-11-87 JCR Added "_LOAD_DS" to declaration
+* 11-20-89 GJF Fixed copyright, alignment. Added const to arg types
+* for filename and argv.
+* 03-08-90 GJF Replaced _LOAD_DS with _CALLTYPE1, added #include
+* <cruntime.h> and removed #include <register.h>
+* 05-21-90 GJF Fixed stack checking pragma syntax.
+* 08-24-90 SBM Removed check_stack pragma since workhorse _spawnve
+* does stack checks
+* 09-27-90 GJF New-style function declarator.
+* 01-17-91 GJF ANSI naming.
+* 02-14-90 SRW Use NULL instead of _environ to get default.

+*int _spawnvp(modeflag, filename, argv) - spawn a child process (search PATH)
+*
+*Purpose:
+* Spawns a child process, with search along PATH variable.
+* formats the parameters and calls _spawnve to do the actual work. The
+* NULL environment pointer indicates 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 supported
+* char *pathname - name of file to spawn
+* char **argv - vector of arguments
+*
+*Exit:
+* returns exit code of child process
+* returns -1 if fails
+*
+*Exceptions:
