You have it backwards. Lattice accepts mixtures. No other Ansi-compatible
compiler I've used does... including Manx. Most of them take advantage of
the prototypes to generate faster, more efficient function calls. If you
mix declarations you *will* break code. If not now with your current compiler
then eventually with a future compiler.

Please, folks. It gets tiring fixing broken code... either go all the way
with ANSI or stick with K&R.
