> According to the C++ standards, all functions must be prototyped.
This is not meant to be a "counter attack" of any sort, but my understanding is
that there really is no "C++ standard" (ANSI C++). Things may have changed
since I received this info, so if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.

Well, I have never received any kind of warning or fatal error with any compiler
I have used. Hmm...

Personally, I am not concerned with what others consider to be "bad programming
practice" most of the time, as long as the program compiles without errors. I
say this simply because usually the "small minority" which will state that
belief are simply stating their opinion, since the program will compile anyway.

Again, this is probably considered "bad programming practice" not to include the
"return 0;", and I will worry about that factor when I need to turn in my code
for examination. :O)

(Same as above)

Should've remembered - I've heard that countless times.
Side note - PLEASE don't waste your time responding to this expressing your
opinions about posting to the ng w/out reading the readme's, etc. thoroughly - I
will not waste my time responding. ;O)

WOW! I must have a terrible memory - you're right! I downloaded djgpp ages
ago, and couldn't get C++ sources to compile, so I gave up. Then ages later
(now), I decided to give it another chance and post to the ng. I appreciate all
the help you guys have supplied. Thanks. :O)
