Yes, I did see that.

Is a return with no value, from a function of type int, meant to be an 
error in K&R code?

If so, I will change the code so that "return" becomes "return 0".

Otherwise, I think the clang compiler should be changed so that this is 
a warning, not an error.  Or at least an error that can be switched off 
with -Wno-return-type.

I will say that I have no desire to put ansii patches into working K&R code.
