I just got C for dummies volume one. Well basically I have two questions. Firstly when i'm in rawhide I make my source file save it and compile it. I made a simple hello world style program... like this #include void main() { printf("Goodbye, cruel world!\n"); } okay well it runs fine and does what it supposed to but the execute for this little program is 83k... Why is this so big? and then I also get a Warning that comes up in RHides message window, that says something like (function main does not return "int"), or some such thing and i'm wondering why it does this? I'm not necessarily a newbie to programming but i am new to C... and new to DJGPP, so please go easy on me even tho these are such trivial questions. Thanks -KWII- *Keith Weatherby II* *Uhfgood AT aol DOT com* *Vice AT gconn DOT com*
