   You'll forgive me if I did not quote the angry bits, I hope.
   I too, was mystified as to why one could not use ordinary
   array syntax with **argv and thus require pointer math.
   Obviously, array syntax is equally correct for accessing
   *argv[] as for **argv. They are functionally equivalent.
   It is only a different method of inscribing the same thing.
   You WOULD, however, require that the array be passed or
   another variable, a global, be assigned the value of **argv
   in order to access the data from a function other than main()
   no matter what notation were employed, since that is not an
   an issue of syntax, but of scope.
