note that i starts from 1 in the for loop above to avoid printing the 
program name.

by the way, just reading the relevant sections of the FAQ (the beginning of 
which I pointed to in an earlier post in this thread) would have revealed 
this.

OTOH, if you want to write something like tr, then you might want to modify 
the program above:

C:\Dload\misc>cat arg.c
#include <stdio.h>

#ifdef __DJGPP__
/* The code below is from the FAQ as well:
   http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq8_7.html
*/
#include <crt0.h>

char **__crt0_glob_function (char *arg)
{
  return 0;
}

#endif

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  if(argc > 1)
  {
    int i;
    for (i = 1; i < argc; ++i)
    {
      printf(":%s:\n", argv[i]);
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

C:\Dload\misc>gcc -Wall -pedantic arg.c -o arg.exe

C:\Dload\misc>arg */ hello
:*/:
:hello:

Showing a little respect to people who are trying to help you is a 'good 
thing', even if you are a math major at CMU.
