                             ^^^^
				this should be argv, not argc,

argc is an integer, not an integer array.
%s in the printf-command is expecting a pointer to a string, just that
what argv(c) is--an array of pointers to strings.

sorry the () should be brackets, im just fighting with some keyboard setup
thingies ;)
