It compiles fine... no warnings or nothin' As long as you don't reference this function you wont get any warnings concerning prototypes. Also it depends on the position of the function. If you first declare the function and the call it you also don't need a prototype. Though I'd recommend to write one anyway if it is a function that is general usable. -- Bye, Gerhard email: sparhawk AT eunet DOT at g DOT gruber AT sis DOT co DOT at Spelling corrections are appreciated.
