FYI: int main(void)

you did not include <stdio.h> for printf.

comp.os.msdos.djgpp is not a forum to discuss basic C/C++ issues. you
are better of posting to more relevant groups such as: comp.lang.c,
comp.lang.c++ and their moderated counterparts.

that said, do you not read what the compiler tells you:

C:\djgpp\c>gcc sss.c -o sss.exe
sss.c:5: two or more data types in declaration of `IndexFileName'
sss.c: In function `compare':
sss.c:10: `Index' undeclared (first use this function)
sss.c:10: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
sss.c:10: for each function it appears in.)
