Ah. The easy way out :)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc != 3)
{
puts ("usage error");
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
}
char a = '0';
char a = '\0';

Why the termination string character? Do you mean to replace my line or
are you adding one?

int b, num;
FILE *fp;
num = atoi (argv[2]);
fp = fopen (argv[1], "wb");

I am thinking that I would need a for loop involved here
somewhere. I am not sure what to put in the body.

while (num--)
fputc(a, fp);
fclose(fp);
return 0;
}

Still needs some error checking (num>=0, fp != NULL, fclose and fput
worked)

I can get that part. I think.

Bye, Jojo
