Oops, this confusion seems to be because I compiled the program as a C++
program, i.e. using g++, and C++ seems to allow variables to be defined
anywhere.

Also - the void main() - when I compile with gcc -Wall, it says
``warning: return type of main is not int'', and when compiled with g++ -Wall,
it says : ``warning: return type of main changed to int''!

Pity, this is the way we are taught at school..

Does anybody know of any screen library like curses, which is portable between
Linux and DOS (gcc/DJGPP)? I checked out the ncurses page, but there seems to
be no DOS port.
