ansifront's main purpose is to convert any "void"s in the src code stream 
to int's, since our c compiler doesn't have a datatype of void.  As 
such, its a single purpose c.prep, a text processor. I'm not recalling 
now whether it even throws away the result of the of the converted to 
int code. It may even be automatic as its cleaning up the stack. Mike 
didn't exactly leave us with "explicit" docs.

Not here. On linux, it might be duplicatable by an awk or sed script but 
I have never had the need to try.
