maybe it fails because you need a space after void, and before main...
running it together as voidmain is declaring a funtion called voidmain,
which incidently has no type associated with it :)
going "void main" declares a function called main, of type void.
stricktly speaking however, shouldn't it be declared as a function of type
int so that you can return an exit code when finished?
my 2 cents...
