Check the ones for lines 33 and 36 and see if they give you some hints. (I.e. WHY is line 36 an error?) Then find a compiler that gives you error messages. ----------------------- #include <stdio.h> #include <ctype.h> int main(argc, argv) char *argv[]; char *progname; Error rot13.c 33: 'progname' not an argument in function main { progname = argc[0]; Error rot13.c 35: Undefined symbol 'progname' in function main Error rot13.c 35: Invalid indirection in function main char ch; Error rot13.c 36: Expression syntax in function main FILE *infile,*outfile, *out; Error rot13.c 37: Improper use of a typedef symbol in function main Error rot13.c 37: Undefined symbol 'infile' in function main Error rot13.c 37: Undefined symbol 'outfile' in function main Error rot13.c 37: Invalid indirection in function main Error rot13.c 37: Undefined symbol 'out' in function main Error rot13.c 37: Invalid indirection in function main /* kick out if there are more than 2 arguments or less than 1 */ if ((argc < 2) || (argc >3)) { int sec = 10, status, onalarm(); if (argc > 1 && argv[1][0] == '-') { sec = atoi(&argv[1][1]); argc--; argv++; } puts("\nUsage: %s <infile> [outputfile]\n"); Human Detected Error: the %s in the above line will not expand in a puts(). exit(1);
