Did a new semester just start?  I know, I'm just as guilty of wasting
bandwidth with this followup, but I just can't help it.  Seems like an
unusually large bunch of these types of articles lately.  I'm especially
diamayed by this in comp.lang.c, which has generally been remarkably free
of blatant beginner's mistakes.

worldwide network.

There, I've got that out of my system now.  Thanks for your indulgence.
(By way of atonement for my own sins, I sent a pleasant response via email
to the party above.  S/He probably knows more about argc,argv now than s/he
originally wanted to know.))
