     I have discovered what seems to be a bug in ZC ver 1.01 from Fred
 Fish disk 314.  Here is some sample code.

 ---

/**/
#include <stdio.h>

main(argc,argv)
int argc;
char *argv[];
{
int i;
printf("argc: %dn",argc);
for (i=0;i<argc;i++)  printf("Argument number %d is %s.n",i,argv[i]);
}

     Now for the sample output!

 ---

>> test
argc: 1
Argument number 0 is test.
>> test 1
argc: 3
Argument number 0 is test.
Argument number 1 is 1.
Argument number 2 is .
>> test 1 2
argc: 4
Argument number 0 is test.
Argument number 1 is 1.
Argument number 2 is 2.
Argument number 3 is .
>> test 1 2
argc: 4
Argument number 0 is test.
Argument number 1 is 1.
Argument number 2 is 2.
Argument number 3 is 3.
>> test 1 2 3 4
argc: 5
Argument number 0 is test.
Argument number 1 is 1.
Argument number 2 is 2.
Argument number 3 is 3.
Argument number 4 is 4.

     Apparently, when a program has one or two arguments, argc gets set
 wrong.
