        Pardon the brief off-topic interlude but why is main() {...} a 
problem?  I'm just learning C and all the books and tutorials I'm 
using (including the O'Reilly book =Practical C=) employ the plain old 
vanilla (i.e., *without* the "int main(void)") format.  If these books 
and tutorials are leading me down the garden path, I'd like to know 
about it.  Thanks.
