strcmp(s1, s2) returns *0* if s1 and s2 match.  So the above test should
be:
      if (strcmp(argv[1], "\\c") == 0)
or, equivalently,
      if (!strcmp(argv[1], "\\c"))

With the existing code, the message will appear for all arguments other
than \c.

May I add that main() should be:
      int main(int argc, char *argv[])
and that it should terminate with a return statement.
