  12. I have just started to work with two different learning C books.  They 
  13. both have programs to copy and compile as I go along.  Twice I have 
  14. received this error from cc when attempting to compile two separate
  15. programs on SunOS 4.1.2:
  16.  
  17. #include <stdio.h>
  18.  
  19. void do_heading(char *filename);
  20.  
  21. int line, page;
  22.  
  23. main( int argv, char *argc[] )  <<- Compiler states "Syntax error at or near
  24. {                    word type char."
  25.  
  26. Do I need to update my compiler?
  27.  
  28.     ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
