   I almost never used non-prototype form for my own code.  I kept   
   it in "public" code for benefits of HP-UX users (which was   
   delivered with K&R compiler and ANSI way payed-for extra).   
   I got rid of most of such stuff about 18 years ago.  I probably   
   still have some codes that I fetched from the net which use   
   old form, but I doubt if it is present in code that I use.
