Dear ?: First off, your program contains an infinite loop; statement return(0); will never be reached. Also you told it that main does not return a value, yet you used e return in the end. This will generate a compiler error for sure. I belief the (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
