I'm still really new to C/C++, but I was on a good steady track using the 
Personal C Compiler from C WARE.  The general syntax I'm used to doesn't 
apply in GCC.  Here is what I'm used to:

main();
{
puts("Hello World.");
return(0);
}

Why won't this compile?  I get an unusual parser error at the first {.  
How do I fix this?  I know this will be an easy one to answer, but I've 
been hard at work looking for resources that cover the GCC Standard 
Syntax, and I can't find any.  So if you could point me to some, I'd be 
eternally grateful.  Thanks!
