A notation that I see in many books is #if COMPILER_HAS_VOID typedef void VOID #else typedef char *VOID #endif (God I hope I got that right) This allows you to use VOID as a (char *) until all the compilers you port to have void. My old source code uses VOID. Now that all my compilers have a real "void" I am slowly getting into the habit of not holding the SHIFT key as I type "void". You could estimate the date of a source file by monitoring the % of VOIDs verses voids. :-) Tom Limoncelli | Drew U/Box 1060/Madison NJ 07940 | tlimonce@drew.BITNET Disclaimer: These are my views, not my employer or Drew Univesity --------------------------------------------------------------------------
