(yes must)??!?!?!?!?! I beg to differ.

# include <stdio.h>

void main(int dumdum)
{
    printf("%d\n", dumdum);
    puts("Foobar");
}

works fine with gcc, and


# include <stdio.h>

void main(dumdum)
int dumdum;
{
    printf("%d\n", dumdum);
    puts("Foobar");
}

works fine with plain 'ol cc.

So you CAN have a) void main if you desire,
		b) only one argument to main.
