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: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/ansi/hfiles.html And of course you know about the requirement that main must return an integer. Hope this babbling helps, Wayne
