why not use the cdecl keyword , as supported by Msoft 5.0 ....
	
	void foo(int x, double y); /*only if you have prototypes */

	/* if you do prototypes or not, as well as cdecl or not */
	void cdecl foo( int x, double y) 
	{
	....
if your compiler does not support this syntax, 'cdecl', then declare 
in your software-wide #include file
	...
	#define	cdecl
	...
then you can have cross compatible software AND your grep'ed [ fgrep ]
listings. 

did you say 'D', you meant 'aDa'...
