Well, this is all I can contribute:

1. argv is one of the two arguments to a program.
     int main( int argc, char *argv[] ){}

As you can see, argv is what is used to hold the characters sent to the 
program as arguments.

Thus, my thought would be that, because you only have 16MB of memory for 
Windows 95 to run in - that there isn't enough memory left over to load 
the program and then try to create the argv array.

I can not see why you would want to run Windows with only 16MB of 
memory.  Memory now-a-days is very cheap and should not cost you more 
than $50.00 for about 64MB or even 128MB of memory.  If your system is 
an old one what you should do is to look around on the net (like eBay or 
maybe some other auction site) and find a system up for sale which uses 
the same kind of memory you use.  I've seen them for as little as 
$25.00.  Buy one and upgrade the memory in your system.  Most computers 
need at least 64MB of memory in order to compile and test programs.

Hope this helps.
