My prior compiler was C++, so I must have missed that rule by mistake.
(Luckily I discovered that DJGPP supported // remarks, which also(?) is
C++ by definition)

Empty parentheses should be translated to 'void' by the compiler.

It compiled OK the next day, maybe it was some system error?
I hate it when it is some other factor but my code that make
