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.

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" 😉
