Memory that expands or contracts is more complicated than a fixed target of 
known maximum size.Your post tells me you can't even handle that.  Thus the 
simpler assignment I suggested.  Your knowledge of argc, for example is 
woefully wrong..  If you understand the basics you should be able to do what 
I wrote in five minutes or less.
