OK.  And calm down :)  I don't even program in C++.  I am currently just 
learning the language.  The reason I ask is that with Borland C++ 3.0, it 
complains if you don't return a value in the main() function, then ceases 
to complain when you specify void as the value type.  EMX doesn't complain 
if you don't return a value.

Apparently Borland C++ doesn't follow the standards :)
