I've just been writing some silly little utilities, some of which require command line args. I've compiled the sources (which are very short, very basic, very simple) on other machines, i.e. HP/UX, Ultrix, IBM PC clone, etc. and they work. However, when I try to compile anything that uses argc and argv in cc on 386bsd, somehow, even though I declare it as an int, argc is being made into (I think) an unsigned long. Anyway... It comes back with numbers in the billions instead of the expected 2 or 3 command line args count. :) Any ideas? Should I just ditch cc and go with gcc? Or is the error somewhere else? Thanks a mil... DG musik@iastate.edu
