As far as I know it doesn't HAVE to do this so just void main should be fine, I usually do the saem thing Why don't you make an attempt to know instead of trying to think: especially when thought leads you to the wrong answer? Please look at the FAQ available from rtfm.mit.edu if you do not find any decent C book around. (And yes, I am aware that many books do get it wrong.) with simple programs that don't need to set the error level on exit and I've had no problems whatsoever with it. It is if the program is supposed to return an error level though. It is not fine to declare main as void: whether the program is simple, complex or gobbledygook; if you want to write in standard C.
