	It's one thing to complain "main() must return int".. It's a totally 
other matter when GCC complains of
an error _IT_ causes .. What I mean by this is that it makes a 
modification without telling me about it, therefore
the error message which follows only serves to confuse the user.. Not 
aid them ..
