For backwards compatibility of their non-standard times and compilers. OK. If I make the C++ community liaison of Microsoft (who happens to be the convenor of the C++ standardization committee) to tell you that void main is illegal will you shut up? This is what Microsoft says as allowed main function signatures. Note that there is *no* main returning void: [URL]http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclang/html[/URL] /vclrfstandardcomplianceissuesinvisualc.asp Temporary short URL for the above: [URL]http://tinyurl.com/o787[/URL] About Microsoft compliance statement: "Microsoft extensions to the ANSI standard are noted in the text and syntax of this book as well as in the online reference. Because the extensions are not a part of the ANSI standard, their use may restrict portability of programs between systems. By default, the Microsoft extensions are enabled. To disable the extensions, specify the /Za compiler option. With /Za, all non-ANSI code generates errors or warnings." Or should I get Bjarne Stroustrup (the creator of the C++ language) to tell you? Or this is not good for you since you have already ignored Andrew Koening, who is the closest thing to Stroustrup? Should I ask Francis Glassborow (and Oxford scholar and member of the C and C++ committees) to tell you that you are wrong? [/QUOTE]
