This line 147 of tot.cpp?

I assume this line is number 153 in tot.cpp, right?

In that case, there are at least two errors in 'tot.cpp':

> tot.cpp: In function `void print_flrrm(int, int, int, int, int)':
> tot.cpp:147: parse error before `{'

This means that in function prnt_flrrm(), at least one closing '}'
brace is missing, somewhere. gcc didn't expect a new function to begin
here, as it didn't see the previous one being ended.

This is a follow-up error from the missed start of a new function.

The other genuine error is your declaration 

	char nasties[3] = nasties;

You cannot redefine one of the functions parameters with the same
name, I think. Nor can you assign a char to a char [3] array and
expect anything sensible to come out of it.
