It's amazing how many people aren't aware of how to even
code a "hello, world" program in C!  Check out the Watcom
docs, they use "void main" too.  It's disgusting.  I even
mentioned it to Watcom, but they certainly didn't change
it in 10.0a (going from 10.0).  I've also seen some IBM 
stuff do the same thing (in the PC environment).  Never saw
them do that on the mainframe though.  C/370 was a 
beautifully clean compiler.  Practically no extensions
whatsoever.  Totally 100% ISO conforming, but no open(),
stricmp() etc.  BTW, Borland C++ 1.5 documents stricmp() as
being ANSI C.  ROFL!  BFN.  Paul.
