The problem you are having is a common problem, and it stems from
the fact that C++ compilers were around before there was a
standard.  When the standard did comeout in late 1998, it called
for a header notation that was different than what had been
used in the C world and previous to the standard in the C++
world.  C++ compilers are getting closer to the standard,
so you see the waning you see.  This link will give you some
more insight into standard header notation:

And of course you know about the requirement that main must return
an integer.

Hope this babbling helps,

Wayne
