Do you have warnings turned off? When I try to compile that
code, I get:

> make test
cc -O -pipe   test.c  -o test
test.c: In function `main':
test.c:14: syntax error before `;'
test.c:19: continue statement not within a loop
test.c: At top level:
test.c:21: `nchars' undeclared here (not in a function)
test.c:21: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
test.c:22: syntax error before `while'
*** Error code 1

So, that would imply that you need to look at lines 14, 19, 21
and 22.

Line 14:
    for (i = 1; i < argc; i++;) {

This is invalid; the line should read:
    for (i = 1; i < argc; i++) {

You'll find that this change fixes all the errors.
