If you define a prototype and include it,  gcc will spit at you if the types
are wrong,  without prompting.  If you want it to spit at you for not 
including prototypes,  or just like having your every mistake 
highlighted,  use the -Wall flag to turn on all except a few esoteric 
warnings.  Compiler parameters are discussed in the online info browser 
that came with djgpp (if you downloaded it).

Hope this helps,
        Jon.
