you sure about that dave? i think that a function declared of type void does
indeed return a function. the void is just a polite way of indicating to all
involved that the function return value is meaningless. (sorry, make last
word of 2nd sentence “value''.) i know with deficient compilers, its a good
habit to typedef or #define void to int to ease the porting of proper
lintable code to the deficient compiler. wish one of the lattice or manx
authors could give us definative answer. sdp
