You should #include <stdio.h> (for printf) and #include <stdlib.h> (for
exit)

No, ANSI says that main() _should_ return an int.

Yeah, but main() should return an int, so you should really return one at
the end of your program. I use return 0; instead of exit(0); because then
you don't need to include stdlib.h. DJGPP doesn't require you to return
anything at the end (it adds it if it's not there), but that doesn't mean
that other compilers don't mind it.
