argv and argc, are VERY C'ish indeed! You won't see them mentioned in any Modula-2 book I know. It so happens that the Benchmark compiler has many C'isms, and that's one of them. Since this stuff is highly implementation-dependent, don't count on it being the same in other Modula-2 packages. You gotta read the manual to find out how to use it with your particular package. – Steve –

Precisely, Steve. Indeed, it looks like I will have to read a C manual to understand Benchmark and/or Rob's book. // Jim

It could never hurt to know another language. Besides, unfortunately on the Amiga most of everything is done in C, so you're sort of forced into learning it. Also, as the saying goes: "Know Thy Enemy" 😉 – Steve –
