how has C bitten you -- unsigned/disnged chars.

If you get the newest version of the VAX11-C compiler from DEC, you
will find that it DOES support (void).  The version that we have is
identified as "V2.0-003".  I was quite pleased when they finally
added this because I frequently port software between UNIX and VMS
and was tired of having to go through convolutions to get around this.
I never used VOID however, I simply would use typedef and change the
"void" into and "int".
