Subject: Can I tell my chess program to know the name of it's exe file.

I have a version of movei that is movei00_8_236.exe

It is using a lot of files when the number 236 is in it.

When I change to movei00_8_237.exe I want the new version to use files with the
number 237 in it(the reason is that otherwise if I put both 236.exe and 237.exe
in the same folder they use the same files and can change the same book files
and I do not want 237 to learn to change it's book from games of 236).

Of course it is possible to put 236 and 237 in different folders but I do not
like this solution.

I think that the best solution is to tell the program to read the name of the
exe file and copy it to a string and use it when it decide about the names of
the files that it reads or create.


The question is how to do it.
