Hi Paul,

PW>> void main() {

PE>> Which besides being ILLEGAL returns RANDOM errorlevels to DOS.

PW> Well now -- I don't know if the Feds will be jumping down my neck
PW> just cuz I declare main() as void :)

No, but we will. :)

PW> BTW don't you like Russian Roulette...?  

Not as such...

PW>> I write my programs properly (sort of).  If I NEED to return a
PW>> value from my programs, I usually use exit() or something...

The return from main has the same effect as calling exit.

PE>> exit(x) is as valid as return(x), but I use the latter to avoid
PE>> getting a warning message from various compilers.  BFN.  Paul.

PW> I usually only return values if some sort of critical error occurs.

No, you always return a value, whether you mean to or not.

PW> BTW why would exit() cause a warning?

The exit() doesn't cause a warning; not having a return statement in a
function that is declared to return something does.
