This modern C declaration:

	int main(int argc, char **argv) {
		exit(1);
	}

is written thus in K&R:

	int main(argc, argv)
		int argc;
		char **argv;
	{
		exit(1);
	}

I guess you predate me. ;-) When I started learning C, it was already in
the ANSI syntax, though there were enough K&R style code floating around
that I've at least _seen_ K&R syntax. I'm guessing nowadays most people
don't even know what K&R syntax is.
