Without a list of the error messages from the compiler, I can only
guess, but the first thing that strikes me is that "getchar" should
probably be written as "getchar()" as it is a macro.  In my stdio.h,
it is listed as:
	#define getchar()	getc(stdin)

Please, no flames about anything.  Nobody cares.
