I've been recently told that the practice of prefixing functions to
indicate return type (ie: int iGetInt(void)   ) is "part of a new
approach in progrmming". Can anyone confirm/deny this? I am extremely
skeptical about that last statement, and to any who would reply
*please* include some references as to make your claims as irrefutable
as possible.	Thanks in advance.

BTW:  reply by email would be much appreciated..
