True, Dice probably infected it with VisualC++, obscuring the argv[0]
argument that the OS passes to the application to reduce the possibility of
easy porting. Another example of the evil of IDE's, particularly
proprietary ones. OTOH, it's hard to believe that the Application class
object would make that argument inaccessible. Dice probably just lacks the
background to know that it's there.
