Actually, on my specific implementation (Verdix SELF on AIX), there is.
There's a demo program supplied with the compiler to do that, but
basically what
it does is declare ArgV and ArgC as PRAGMA INTERFACE variables, and the
startup
module (which is written in C and linked to the application) actually
declares and
allocates them, and initiailzed them.

The way the are used is like in C, ofcourse.

If you're not using SELF, check your example directory.

                      Best of luck,
                                      Calius
