Re: prototypes and functions

As an aside, you could actually name the file header.h but I would not
suggest it.

We have a consultant who needed to send a file.  I suggested he use
FTP, and walked him through starting up the FTP client and connecting
to my FTP server.  Then I told him to use the PUT command, with
library slash filename dot membername to send the file.  He told me
the system didn't find the file.

It took me a while to discover he had used a period in the file name.
so OS/400 was totally confused.  Something like:
LIBRARY/FILE.MEMBER.EXT

He wound up renaming the file that one time so he could send it to me.
