Program to automate pre program writing process

When writing a program, usually we need to create a folder and create a .C file inside the folder. In the .C file, header files need to be added. This program automates this and opens the .C file in Emacs for writing the program.
 /*usage: ./prog <directory name> <file name w/o extension.c>  
 location: mybin  
 need: to create a directory and program file to write programs. it creates the directory in the default progs folder at a single stroke. this program also writes a default code within the file  
 creats a dir <directory name> and inside it creates a file <filename> no need to add extension .c as it automatically appends it
