Actually, there is an "official" A1500 (to be?) released in the U.K.- by
Commodore.  There is bound to be a lot of confusion between this official
"bundle" the the Checkmate system.  The most recent info I've read on the
official A1500 is that it is a re-designed case with two drives, 1 Meg,
and some bundled software for #999 (thats quid).  The UK market seems
quite fond of these "bundled" packages.  Every couple of months they're
talking about a new one.  This sounds like the first one to offer much
beyond simple bundled software.  The December issue of Amiga Format has
some brief blurbs about it (more like a rumour column, the mag also had
a playable demo of Lemmings from Psygnosis--neat!)

Just to make things more confusing, some UK vendor is selling the A5000
upgrade kit!

 Actually.. 1) why use a int? and 2) you dont need *
such as printf("%s\n",argv[1]);

 I would make a a character
