b: 	It seems, that it is not clear to the compiler, what you mean by
b: *argv[ii]. Note that argv is an array of pointers to char. When i am
b: in such a situation, i always use argv[ii][0], then, according to my
b: understanding, it can only mean one thing: the first character of the
b: text, pointed to by the address found in the ii-th element of array argv.

I hope every C compiler has better understanding than that! *argv[ii]
is exactly the same as argv[ii][0] in all contexts where either is
valid. It is true that technically the latter involves adding a zero
to the pointer before dereferencing, but whenever dereferencing is
allowed, so is adding a zero.
