You are trying to declare delay in your program instead of calling it. 
Please get a good C reference and study how to call functions.  That
program should read:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>

int main( void )
{
    delay( 100 );
    printf( "+----------------------" );

    return 0;
}

P.S.:  Eli and DJ, I just looked at the libc reference and the "delay"
entry is missing the #include <dos.h> header.  I'll post a bug report
and a fix in a few minutes.  ;)
