A nice easy question to get you warmed up for the day:-

I'm trying to compile some old C code with g++ 2.1. Gcc compiles the code 
fine, however g++ complains about the function parameters (having types
declared in the lines following the function header). How do I fix this?
(without rewriting the code).
	thanks for all the help

The C++ language requires prototypes, so you can't get around this.
Fortunately there's a tool called "protoize" by Ron Guilmette (sorry
if I spelled your name wrong, Ron) that converts old-style C code
to C code with prototypes.  It's included in the gcc-2.1 distribution.
It's probably your best bet.
