Hmmm, I guess maybe I should then get my C source code translated into
Emacs-Lisp?  Here it is:

/*************************************************
**** clif.c **************************************
*************************************************/

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  int i;

  for (i = 1; i < argc; ++i)
    {
      int c, lines;
      FILE *file;

      lines = 0;
      file = fopen(argv[i], "r");
      while ((c = getc(file)) != EOF)
	{
	  if (c == '\n') { ++lines; }
	}
      printf("%d\n", lines);
      fclose(file);
    }
  return 0;
}

/*** end of clif.c ******************************/

Maybe I can get somewhere from there?
