Not that quoting from the standard shouldn't be enough to convince 
people that "void main ..." in non-ansi compliant, here is the output 
from a recent gcc snapshot

ptest.c has 

void main(){}

compiled with gcc -pedantic

ptest.c: In function `main':
ptest.c:1: warning: return type of `main' is not `int'

It does still allow you to just type "main" and have it default to int
without issuing a warning if only -pedantic is specified.
