A perfectly legal, if strange, way of declaring main.  Those of us who
abhor Windows would write this as:
	int main(int argc, char *argv[])

Why do you have to statements that effectively exit the program?  The
exit(0); is unnecessary.

I can only assume you are using RHIDE?  This would lead me to believe
that you haven't added the DJGPP/BIN directory to your path.  Do that,
and ensure that the DJGPP environment variable points to where
DJGPP/DJGPP.ENV is located.

Probably means program not found, since compilation failed.
