Bug no.1: `main' should return an int, like this:

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])

>         for(count=2;count<argc;count++)

Bug no.2: arguments begin with argv[1], not argv[2] (argv[0] is the
program's pathname).

Bug no.3: you increment count *before* calling show_file, so you
actually begin with argv[3], and the last argument passed is
argv[argc], which is a NULL pointer.
